When you receive such predatory and nuanced stares like that, you just know that what they’re thinking is not pleasant. It makes you uncomfortable and it makes you want to crawl out of your skin. It doesn’t matter what you’re wearing, you will immediately feel uncomfortable about the skin you’re showing - even if it’s minimal. Girls shouldn’t have to think about the uncomfortable stares they might receive before going out in public. And the way in which girls express themselves through their clothing should not be limited by this fear either. But unfortunately, men staring and smiling at you as an underage girl is fairly normalised in our world. ]]> 2020-09-16 13:23:25 UTC https://padlet.com/19sonc2/4e7vau4xb77g3s89/wish/751441352 Catcalled https://padlet.com/19sonc2/4e7vau4xb77g3s89/wish/751471967 In Hong Kong, catcalling (in the streets in broad daylight) is not really a thing. At least not from my own experience or from what I’ve heard from other girls. But there was one time where I was literally just standing on the side of the road with my mum right next to me, and this van drives passed me. The guy in the passenger seat of this van pulled down his window right as he passed me, with a smile plastered across his face and shouted something at me then drove off and pulled his window back up. It’s easy to brush it off if you weren’t actually there, but his intentions were clearly not pure or respectable in the slightest sense just from the tone of his voice and the smile on his face. I was shocked first of all. But then I got really annoyed and honestly quite mad. It sucks that catcalling is still accepted in so many societies and that it’s regularly justified by men. Catcalling doesn’t make you feel good. It makes you feel uncomfortable and scared and furious. ]]> 2020-09-16 13:30:17 UTC https://padlet.com/19sonc2/4e7vau4xb77g3s89/wish/751471967 https://padlet.com/19sonc2/4e7vau4xb77g3s89/wish/751481749 The fact that young girls worrying about their weight and appearance is normalised even though it shouldn’t be. ]]> 2020-09-16 13:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/19sonc2/4e7vau4xb77g3s89/wish/751481749 "Bad Mood" https://padlet.com/19sonc2/4e7vau4xb77g3s89/wish/751490245 I feel like as a girl, sometimes my emotions get brushed aside by men and immediately excused as me being in a 'bad mood' or being a 'b*tch' when I'm simply just expressing my feelings in a reasonable manner. If someone is clearly trying to annoy you, and you ask them to stop - that doesn't mean you're in a 'bad mood', you're simply just irritated by their actions.

Personally sometimes i feel more confident in certain things and there are things i hate wearing because i don’t feel good in them, it’s unfair that because it will distract the boys, i can’t wear it. the school should be teaching boys to stop staring , it’s not “in their nature” it’s the way they are taught and raised.
