A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

When I was heavier, white guys didn't hit on me as much as black and Latino guys. Not cat-calling, per se; flirting. (This is anecdotal and a generalization, yes, but it certainly was my experience when I went out. When I want to a bar or club that was predominately black or Latino versus a mostly white club, the rooster/hen dance was completely different.)

And IMHO, black men and Latino men are generally better at flirting than white dudes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

HOORAY. I have made everything for the party! Except sandwiches, which folks at the site will help with. Now I can sit for a bit and gird my loins.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I haven't been cat called much, and not in a long time. Probably because I don't walk alone much, and I have this invisibility thing going on.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yay, party prep being done!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Good luck, Jesse!

I've found grey hair seems to keep down the catcalls. Or maybe it's because I live where I live.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Go, Jesse!

Every time I read posts here about cat calling and the like, I'm always a bit shocked that these things actually happen in real life it's just so outside my experience. I suppose one of the advantages of being handicapped and therefore being viewed as non-sexual by a large majority of men, is that I have never had to deal with that bullshit. I'm sorry that so many woman here have.

Aw, thanks! I'm not going to lie -- I am expecting years of people being impressed out of this. And actually, it's been about a day and a half of work, which isn't really that much in the greater scheme of things.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

This is for Allyson: [link]

I loved that. I was feeling pretty blue, there was a gathering of Beastie Boys fans in NY and AdRock showed, resulting in adorable: [link]

And then, BABY BAT YAWNS! Cutie cute cute.

I bought a grill yesterday, and stopped at the butcher shop. Got ridiculous amounts of fresh chicken and beef. I was not catcalled on the way, which is just silly because OMG I AM SO PRETTY.
