RE: [webcomic] Taking a Walk

in #steemit-webcomics6 years ago (edited)

I am just laughing so hard on so many levels.

It's bad in Asia. No you don't even have such decent proposals.

It's either this annoying loud kissing sounds to get your attention, or stare you down, or worse trying to brush up against you.

So over the years, I've just learned never to dress like a lady. Full stop. I don't wear makeup and I don't smile at strangers, just pretend you are consumed by reading something riveting.

These days I feel like this persona I've put up that was running on auto pilot wasn't serving me.

I should be free to be myself. I do smile at strangers of course! That never truly died off but the getting dressed all pretty I may need to work on.

Thank you for this funny and honest article! Love your sense of humor....will you marry me? ;p

Sort:  

I hate loud kissing sounds.
In any context.
Period. (Ugghhhhh)
(Got it from guys and girls before (platonic setting).)

Exactly right!! LOL!!

aww, I'm so sorry to hear about your experiences. Funny enough, I also try to combat it by dressing less feminine! Kind of like an experiment to see if it causes less occurences, since in the past I've noticed being harassed a bit more if I'm wearing makeup or a dress....fortunately for me I tend to enjoy the more androgynous dressing style anyways and makeup is a hassle for me, but you know, it'd be nice to dress up if I was in the mood to, and not worry about unwanted attention!

I think safety is always important, but I hope you become more comfortable dressing the way you prefer, and more importantly that men stop acting this way! I'm glad you enjoyed the comic hahaha <3

Thank you, I hope so too! It is nice to feel feminine and not try to hide our curves and best assets.

No, I don't care much for makeup either, but it would be nice to feel pretty and also feel safe at the same time. :)
