I am not an Object.

I do not enjoy getting catcalled. 
 
I do not want to be called "baby" when  I walk down the street.
 
I do not deserve to have to feel uncomfortable when I am just walking minding my own business and I get repeatedly called on by two guys to come up with them and drink.  
 
I do not deserve to have sexual comments made about me by two complete strangers.
 
 I do not desire to hear how some guy who has seen me for 2 seconds wants me.
 
I do not know you.  
 
Why would I want to drink a beer with you?
 
Who are you?
 
Why would you want to invite me up there to drink with you?
 
I am overweight, I don't look that pretty, I'm not desirable by today's standards.
 
I'm just the only one out walking on the road at 11:30 that night.
 
So when I ignore you because as a lone female walking at night, when you're making sexual comments and offering me alcohol, I have every right to ignore you. 
 
You seem preditory. 
 
Out to get me.
 
You seem to be a safety hazard.
 
 I do not deserve to be called a bitch when I feel very uncomfortable by everything you've done and I have not been given the opportunity to say hi back.
