HATE IS A SIN

HARRASMENT IS A SIN

My first experience with female inequality began when I was 5, when I was told I shouldn’t climb trees, play with cars or get my clothes dirty.

When I was scolded for the rips and the grass stains on my jeans because I played soccer with the boys. When I couldn’t sit down straight because of my skirt. “Girls can’t“ was a sentence I heard more frequently then “How are you?”

My first experience with being harrassed was when I was 12, when the school bus driver touched my knees every time he “changed the gear “. When I was followed by a group of 5 older guys because I was wearing a short skirt at 15.

When I was catcalled disgusting words just because at 16. When I was followed to the bathroom in a club and got away by the skin of my teeth at 18.
