There is a pizza place in the mall that I work at. I love pizza, and it's decent pizza. Not the greatest, but it's convenient and will satisfy a craving.
I hate going there though. I dread it. And if I do decide to buy pizza from there, I have to put my most arrogant, business-like expression on my face.
Why?
Because I know otherwise, I'm going to get hit on.
Isn't that sad? That in order to be treated like a normal human being, and not be objectified, I have to be someone I'm not usually.
I hate that the employees think that's acceptable. I hate that society thinks that's acceptable.
And to all the dickheads who say "just take it as a compliment": compliment or not, it's completely unwarranted. I don't want your opinion on my looks. I want you to treat me professionally and not as a piece of meat to say uncomfortable things to. That's all. Why is that so goddamn hard?
Why is it so goddamn hard to be treated with respect as a woman?
