1. This is so messed up

I occasionally call out friends, this time female friends, for supporting sexism. Before this story, a few were giggling about a bumper sticker 'seen on an old lady's car' reading " Sexual Harassment won't be Reported, but it will be graded"

They were just goofing, but I had to step in and tell them that's bullshit, and posted the link for Hollaback. (Just like I tell them Won't be attending 'Bitches night out' or any event with the word 'bitch' in it, and I'm not a fucking Bitch.
---They know better to fuck with me and swearing, because I'll go there and I'll win.)

I understand being insecure and getting older and thinking or feeling actually, that kind of 'admiration' is a compliment but I'm not that kind of insecure, not even a little bit. I'm actually very gentle with these women, because they have an innate understanding and acceptance of what I'm saying, and I have no need to be mean.

Anyway, like the day after, this happened. Sexual harassment. A barrel of laughs.
