How Catcalling Affected Me As A Child. Content Warning.
When I was 12, I got catcalled for the first time. It was almost 100 degrees and I put on a nice outfit to go out with my friend to the market. I wore a simple shirt and shorts, an outfit that I thought was perfectly acceptable, especially considering the weather. I was walking with my friend down the street and a man said "Wow those are big" My friend was younger than me, and she had never heard anyone say something so vulgar before so she was shocked but we kept walking. All the way until we got to the end of the road where we met up with some other girls. Even though she was shocked, she ended up telling the girls we met up with, and everyone had a good laugh about it. I wanted to say I didn't think it was funny and it made me uncomfortable, but I didn't want to spoil their fun. So I kept my mouth shut, and ignored it until I got home.
