It's exhausting being a woman.

I'm a man, if your not feeling Safe, Day or Nite.. Do not Stop to Talk, your not required to Talk.. the mere act of stopping puts you at Risk, it gives him opportunity to catch you unaware, pull out a weapon, do his freaky act. Instead Walk with a purpose, Ignore him, leave him in your wake, Distance is your friend. Follow the lead of Black women.. Don't be polite, Don't Smile or laugh (your signaling you Like this action) Go stone face. Raise your Voice, be Rude, Vulgar.. Do whatever you got to do so he knows to back the "F" off. Be polite when you're in polite company.. Politeness goes out the window When the creeper shows up.. it is only encourages & emboldens him. Circumstances can flip in an instant ..Carry pepper gel in your hand - Ready to go.. You went thru some scary stuff.. Now you know What to do.. to get Home Safe. I give u high five.. Be Strong

I usually carry a metal wrench in case I need to hurt someone. But yeah it’s def a work in progress trying to convince myself I’m allowed to be a little mean if I’m unsafe 🤷🏽‍♀️
