(and I love your name)

It IS infuriating that men do this to us ALL THE TIME and that our significant others in many cases just don't seem to think it's such a big deal. Why do men do this to us? I wish there was a way it could be stopped. I've been a victim of the "stare", the "lewd comments" and the "come ons" practically all my life. Especially aggravating is that I seem to be on the receiving end of those annoying old men who look at me and say "SMILE!" I want to punch them! Leave me alone to walk along lost in my own thoughts!

Then you hear men say "You should be flattered"! They have GOT to be kidding, right???

About how white people stare at black people. I have actually seen this many times, too. It embarrasses me as a white person. It's so rude. I swear, manners and respect just seems to have vanished in our society any more.
