Just a reminder that all women are real women, whether they be big, little, tall, short, skinny, fat, black or white or anything in between and trans women too. Using "that's what real women look like" as a compliment is shaming and inappropriate. All women are real women. #realwomen #noshaming #itsnotacompliment

Dear coworkers, When you tell me that you PREFER me to look a certain way. Like ?? I'm in uniform and nothing is out of place. Excuse me for not wanting to wear makeup everyday. Excuse me for wanting to cut my hair short. I forgot I came here to please you. Oh, wait... I don't. I come here to work and make money. I assumed you were here to do the same, but apparently that's not the case. How about, instead of telling me to keep my hair a certain length or how I should wear makeup constantly, You mind your own business. I don't see you guys giving eachother tips on how to look "better" to one another. Leave me alone. - Signed, the only girl that works here.

Last year during finals I lost my mind and started a brand new portfolio project last minute after, while complaining about someone screaming out their window at me, a friend told me "it's just a compliment". Since moving to DC I haven't gone a week without dealing with some messed up sexual harassment simply from leaving my house. My summer goals is to expand this project and put it everywhere. #yesallwomen #itsnotacompliment #cafcalling #streetharassment
