Catcalled and I’m sick of it

Was catcalled tonight.

Ignored him because I froze and then he kept yelling and swearing at me.

I was too scared to turn around to see if he was following me (he wasn’t).

I’m so sick of this. I’m so sick of being told I’m overreacting. So sick of always being cautious yet still being harassed.

I love the empowerment that comes with being a woman but I hate how quickly a man can make me feel small and weak.
