Unwanted attention from male adults started at age 10...tell me how I provoked it? I could not even ride my bike down the street without whistles, cat calls and the old if I told you you had a nice body would you hold it against me?
“Unwanted attention from male adults started at age 10”
Same here but I was riding a horse. As a young girl I always wore my hair very long. While riding my horse on public open park land I would get the “hey, Lady Godiva!” screams. Sometimes it was frightening but on a horse you are much safer than on a bike. I knew I could get away.
The key here is “Unwanted”. Yes, I’m sure that’s awkward, sometimes embarrassing and can be a PITA. That said, the overwhelming majority of women clearly want male attention and want it quite badly judging from the amount of effort they put into getting male attention.
