Consider what it must feel like to have to prepare yourself for this every time you go out in public. Imagine what it must feel like when you have to walk alone, at night, or somewhere where youre unfamiliar with your surroundings, like any person has to sometimes. How would you feel if someone told you that the solution was to just stop walking alone, or at night, or anywhere where youre unfamiliar with your surroundings? How would you feel if someone told you the solution to harassment is you having to plan every step, constantly rearrange your route, and even change what youre wearing, because we dont teach men not to behave like this? In case you forgot what privilege is - I dont have the privilege of wearing whatever I want, going out whenever I want, walking wherever I want, by myself, without having to consider who might approach me and whether or not I should fear for my safety. Think about that every time you feel so inclined to let another hey mami come out of your mouth. Think about that every time you see another man behave like this toward a woman, and you do nothing to stop him. Think about it.
