16km into my run today at Spanish banks I hear a bike behind me and slowly slow down to my running pace. There are lots of people out about, its a gorgeous day. I am tired and sweaty and gross and am trying to push through the next 6km I need to do. Excuse me, a man on the bike says. Yes? I say in a huff. I am guessing he wants directions or help or something. Would you like to go on a date for the potential of marriage? (What the F?) No. I keep running. Man on bike still rides beside me. Why not? he asks. (Do I tell him to F-off? I really want to, am afraid it could escalate though.) Because Im taken, I say and awkwardly laugh, trying to keep it light. I run ahead of him and dont look at him, trying to indicate leave me the F alone. Do you have the ability to produce children? he asks, completely ignoring what I just said. Umm... I bolt a little faster and ignore the question and creepy man on bicycle doesnt continue to follow me. Thank-you dude on bike for reinforcing why conversations and questions about women in our culture need to keep happening. #WTF #Seriously? #YesAllWomen
