Scene 1
We were crossing the road, and one of my friends was lagging behind.
A guy catcalled her.
She glared at him.
“You don’t look like a woman,” he said.
Scene 2
I was going home after practice dressed in sports clothes.
Two men were checking me out in the street:
“Is that a girl or a boy?”
“It’s a girl, man.”
“There’s no proof that she’s a girl. It must be a boy.”
Scene 3
A man checking me out said,
“If it were up to me, I’d make your boobs a little bigger, and I’d make you around 10 cm taller, etc.”
How come if the tables were turned,
And someone had said,
“There’s no proof that he’s a man,”
Or,
“You don’t look like a man,”
No one would’ve let it go.
