Cat Calling -By Supriya, intern at @just.lemmebe Why blame the cat for something which only humans ever do? Staying home for about two years had me forget how much it happened daily. As soon as I started to go out of the house frequently, I realized how much I would miss the safety of my room that the pandemic had offered (It had its downsides, I will not deny). The sudden realization dawned on me when I went out to buy a pack of bread for my train journey. It had been the second time I had left my house in about six months. A bunch of men were unloading a truck, one of whom started singing a line that was clearly directed at me. He shut up once I went into the shop. As soon as I came out, he started again. This time his mate tried to shut him up. I did what most women do: ignored him and exited the scene quickly. Throughout the journey further, this happened several times over. I and my girlfriends would be having fun, laughing, fooling around, and suddenly we would encounter a group of men gawking at us or a sudden unsolicited comment that would take away all our smiles. What we would remember for the rest of the day is that one comment, or the stares, that ruined it all. Despite all this, I have hope. Yes, I have seen men who would make me uncomfortable, pass comments, or even try to touch inappropriately, but I have also met men who would come forward to shut such men, stand up for/with me and make sure I reach home safely, even if they had to take longer routes. . . . #catcalling #cat #catcallingisnotacompliment #womenabuse #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #women #lemmebe #LemmeBe #womenempoweringwomen #postpandemic #postpandemictravel #homesafehome #storytelling #storytime #storyteller https://www.instagram.com/p/CT2HJ8csSSh/?utm_medium=tumblr

I've always wondered what catcallers think happens after they 'compliment' us 😂 #Repost @curatedbygirls • • • • • What catcallers think happens after they catcall us 🎥 by @alinablock 👏👏😂 ON POINT👌. #rg via @aliche_sbrb 😻 #catcallingisnotacompliment (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE2lDL4gpbz/?igshid=1wepjyzxp4rlz

the one "positive" of quarantine is that i'm not catcalled as often. the negative is that whenever this does happen (aka almost every time i go out in public), it's scarier now because catcallers are not respecting social distancing until i yell "No!" and scare then away
