Earlier today, I was having a conversation about "street harassment" with a distant relative who is a feminist liberal type. Basically, every single example of the horrible harassment she cited, I have experienced myself regularly. She would just shrug it off, and try to downplay women's rude behavior, and make her examples seem way worse using language tactics.
When unattractive women look at me when I am trying to work, it's not so bad. When unattractive men look at her at work, I mean when "creeps" are "ogling" her at work, it's a horrible ordeal.
When unattractive women talk to me while I am trying to get work done, that's not nearly as bad as the unattractive men that try to talk to her, I mean the "creeps" that are "hitting on" her while she is trying to get work done.
She did that to just about every single instance, played up her own experience and downplayed mine, attempting to use buzzwords like creep, ogle, grope, etc etc, that describe the same thing, but sound worse.
I am thinking for fun, from now on I am gonna start reacting to the "street harassment" I receive exactly like a rabid feminist would and shame the hell out of them with buzzwords. Could be a fun game.
"This picnic area has been vacant for years, why are you suddenly swarming this area? Are you just here to ogle us while we are trying to work? Fuckin creeps, I am calling the cops!"
"Hey lady, did you just grope my bicep? What the fuck, it's not OK to touch me without my consent you creepy bitch. POLICE! POLICE!"
I have noticed this language thing in many different topics. Take circumcision for example. If you try to call it mutilation, they will try and downplay it, and label it other things. Mutilation sounds a lot uglier, and they would rather reserve that kind of language for dealing with vagina alteration. God forbid anyone protect a baby's penis with as much voracity as a baby's vagina receives.
