Lately I have been hyper conscious of an aspect of my daily experience that I could truly do without, #StreetHarassment. Comments range from Hey beautiful African princess to ...and she got a nice body. These are not compliments, they are demonstrations of a lopsided power dynamic in our society. Living in DC I deal with this on a daily basis and I know plenty of other women do as well. The emotions you go through in those moments range from anger, sadness, fear, no feeling- because youve hardened yourself- to so many other things. Above all you feel trapped, because saying something would empower you but could possibly also escalate things. I am #SoSickofThisShit. But I will not let some catcalling asshole steal my happiness today. Im looking for some concrete action from the ladies and the fellas.
