Are You Freakin' Kidding Me?



Apparently all you have to do is possess a vagina, that's it! Then all kinds of rude, obscene and inappropriate comments are thrown your way.

On this particular day I had on a pair of ultra sheer stockings, black patent leather flats and a conservatively stylish black dress underneath my cranberry tweed overcoat (complimented with gold buttons). Feeling myself, I strutted toward the train station in a hurry to escape the cold.

I am almost to the station when I'm paid a compliment. I'm told "You're delicious girl do you know that? Do you know how delicious you are?" I felt like saying, "No I don't know, why don't you tell me?" Instead I just kept walking and went right on talking. I reached for my iPod to block out the barrage of unwelcome comments and the noise of all the hustle and bustle on the streets.

Another scenario: I was on my way to my first karate class in Rego Park, Queens. I walked up Queens Boulevard in an over-sized t-shirt, leggings and sneakers (you know, exercise attire). I approach a corner just as a car does; you'd think they'd be gentlemen and allow me to cross in front of their car right? Wrong! As I step off the curb to cross I am cut off by this car inching up to make a right turn. I yell "What gentlemen you are!" Oh boy, that was all that I needed; I opened the gateway to unwanted violation. "Ma, can I f**k the s**t out of you tonight?" Why would a man say this to a woman? Did he really expect me to retort yes? I was appalled , For him to effortlessly let that comment roll off his tongue led me to believe he's said things of this caliber before.

It boggles me, the rude comments men say that is. Do men have a word quota and keep a tally in their deluded minds? Why is it that the most attractive women are often confronted by men that look like they'll be panhandling in your local train station in a few years? Why do these crusty, mangy, vile men have such gumption?

Comments?

Wow,perhaps I am happy I am a big girl so I do not recieve comments such as those when trying to go about my business but DAMN.. WTF was going through dudes mind? Perhaps in his tiny little brain he thought it would turn you on? Who knows! Men are strange creatures, and yet they say WE are the confusing ones.

I am a big girl and have reccieved comments such as these. While going into the beauty supply store I was acosted by a young man stared at me up and down before saying "Damn ma! You probably taste better than this slice of pizza!" Being thoroughly disguested, I walked into the store and wondered about the chicks who actually are turned on by comments such as these.
