"HEY, GIRL! CAN I HOLLA???"
"HI THERE PRETTY GIRL!"
"HMMMM, LOOKIN' GOOD!"
Ra!
Oh, hi, Sheryl!
Let's get out of here
Let's!
Ra, did you know that just now is just inappropriate?
Really...?
Well, it is complicated
But just because someone says something 'positive' to you doesn't mean that it's a compliment
Especially when it's unwanted attention from strangers
What about things like whistling,
Honking horns, or other things like that?
Is that catcalling?
It sure is! Catcalling isn't just words
It can be sounds, gestures,
And even just looks, too
Like the way they stare at you like this
That's catcalling, sister
Well yeah, it felt a little uncomfortable
But ... How can I address it without embarrassing them or hurting their feelings?
I totally get what you're saying
I don't want to embarrass people, either...
But we don't have to be polite to people who catcall at us
When people catcall us
They aren't seeing us as a person...
They're just seeing us as an object. That's so uncool, Ra
Ya, that makes sense.. I've always felt a little uncomfortable when people holler at me
But I've never known what to do...
So... What should I do when someone catcalls me?
Should I confront them?
Well, your safety is the most important thing, Ra
And you never know how someone might react to a confrontation
If you're comfortable enough, you can speak up
But if the situation doesn't seem safe
Sometimes the best thing to do is just ignore it and just move on
Yeah, I agree
They're probably looking for a reaction anyways
So ignoring them is a way to not encourage their behavior, right?
Yep! Totally!
If you can't help it anymore
Try to contact trustworthy people in the case of an emergency
Like me!
Or go to safe places
Or a crowded place so people can notice you
I think that's better
Yeah, I guess it's true
I'm glad that we talked about this, Sheryl
