UnDoing

Oh hullo there-

No offense to any male readers. I'm pretty sure if you're reading this you are interested in what I think I might be saying, so this may not apply to all of you.

But I've had it with how perverted men are. I think they are, or most of them are, completely out of their rational and cordial minds. Their contorted leering faces, their pathetic excuses for stealing glances, their larger-than-life attitudes towards their own sexual prowess.

Instance number one.
I'm walking a couple blocks in a skirt and this creepy government worker standing on the corner looked once but then had to cross on his signal. So he starts walking, and looks my way again. AND AGAIN. three times isn't enough, so he looks again. He's wearing sunglasses, but the creepiness shone through his lenses. They get this look on their faces like I can't see or tell what they're doing. They freeze in their leer and their utterly irrational appetite vomits its way into my narrative. I'm all wtf nevermind you, you're old enough to be my dad and ugly enough to be my bitch. I was wearing a skirt- does that mean open season creepy glances?

Instance number two.
Sitting around and having cars go by. The men are outta control! As if by being in a moving vehicle behind glass I can't see you? Watch the road fatty. I'm sure your wife should leave you. I hope you don't look at your daughters friends with the same disgusting leer. Car after car occupied by man after man; nothing but the same stealing expression. I want to take photos of their faces like this and send it to their mothers and wives. Aren't the majority of small accidents on the road caused by this rubber-necking? Utterly irrational! Apes in suits in cars! To think the major critique of my gender was our irrationality and natural tendencies! I dont know any women who perform this kind of gawking.

Instance number three.
Sure, its at a bar. And sure, some people think bars mean open season gawkfest. But perhaps if you really wanted to impress her, maybe you wouldnt stare, or look so desperate trying to get her attention. You know that face? the one that smiles too much, leans too much, tries too hard; its like do you really think if you keep looking I'll just walk over and give myself to you? CREEPY again.

So all I really wanted to say is that I find all that gawking, leering, stealing, and mental raping kind of irritating. Kind of creepy. Kind of inappropriate. It happens every day.
