I hate being scared of guys. I shouldn’t be so terrified of them. I’ve been hit on by men old enough to be my dad. I’ve been at a store with my mom and an older man said “hey sexy” and rubbed his hand down my back. I’ve had a kid at school come up and slap my butt. I’m scared of parking lots, especially at night. I’m scared of going on a walk alone. I’m scared of letting my dog in/out at night. I’m scared of going for a run. I’m scared of wearing anything even the slightest “exposing” because I don’t want guys looking at me. I’m scared of letting myself be close to a guy because I’m scared they’d force me into something I don’t want to do. I’m so sick of guys acting like girls are always paranoid or worry about everything but there is so much more for us to worry about! Being a girl is terrifying. When will men understand that my chest isn’t a resting spot for their eyes? My body isn’t a prize for being nice to me. I shouldn’t have to live in a world of fear with thoughts of rape and abduction always at the forefront of my thoughts. Girls have the right to walk alone and not be scared of being approached by a guy. Notice how guys always say that girls are crazy or dramatic, yet it’s almost never girls who go on shooting rampages or engage in really vulgar, eerie, violent acts. I shouldn’t have to be scared whenever I see a guy. It’s not fair.
