A random man on the street calling me beautiful literally sounds the same as a man saying something obscene or sexually suggestive to me. I’m thinking about the other day when a man asked me for the time, which I knew was a pretense to talk to me, but whatever. After I gave him the time he said I was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen (which was funny because it was raining so hard and I had my hoodie on), and I just dismissively held up my hand. And he asked, “what does that mean?” And I said. “It means I don’t need your opinion.” And then he said I’m beautiful on the outside but very ugly on the inside. Which just proves that I was right to completely dismiss him in the first place. I don’t know where I was going with this post.
