Cat calling has reached a new level.

Now I have been subject to some pretty horrid experiences in my life but today was beyond demeaning and annoying.

I was walking to school this morning on campus and a group of campus groundskeepers sitting on a bench whistled at me. I walked briskly and avoided all eye contact and got out of eye-line of them. I walked a bit further and was approached by another groundskeeper who looked me up and down and then said, "looking good" in a slimy creepy voice.

I then took the road less travelled, quite literally, to avoid anybody possible. Another groundskeeper approached! And he had his radio in-hand and spoke into it as he passed by saying, "yeah... things are definitely looking hot today".

They were using their radios to practically stalk me across campus so they could objectfiy me!

Seriously now.. I am beyond sick of this kind of behaviour from men. Don't you know that behaviour like that repulses women? It makes us feel sick to our stomachs? You are doing us no favour. And do you know that you give your entire gender a bad rep when you act so disgustingly?

Do you realize that I have to go out of my way on my way home to avoid any alleyway or any street that has men idling? Why do *I* have to be inconvenienced and change my route home because you are so fucking disrespectful to women?
