Catcalled

Nat 12th July 2023 I was listing to a podcast by one of my fave feminist girls, feeling really empowered and really good about being a woman. Then some guy on his electric scooter thought it was appropriate to say ‘hello sexy’ as he scooted on past me. No woman wants to hear that. Not a...

A, Aged 14
