This irks me.

The other day, I came across a great blog post by Kate Spencer. Being in a foreign country has really made me think about how I feel about sexual harassment. A lot of my friends tell me they enjoy it when a guy checks them out or whistles at them. To be honest, I don't dislike it too much myself but when it's aggressive or in the middle of the night, in a moment of vulnerability, it's just not right. My initial reaction is usually to clench my fists, walk faster and put on the "bitch" face. I would just prefer that if a guy thinks I'm attractive, he not make suggestive motions and circle around the block with his friends howling at the top of his lungs. Let's leave it to a whistle and maybe a wink at most. Keep it kosher.
