Why can't I just walk the dog in my neighborhood without being accosted? I'll grant you, that yesterday, the weather was sunny and warm and I sported my shorts for the first time this spring. I hadn't gone more than a block, when one of the neighbor ladies walked to the end of her driveway and said, "You just have to tell me what you have done to lose so much weight?" I responded that I really hadn't lost a significant amount of weight. She replied, "Oh yes you have! It must be all the walking you do! I saw that you are making an addition to your house. It really looks nice!"
This morning a middle-aged woman came to a stop at a stop sign in the neighborhood. She rolled down the window and said, "Hieeeeee! Good morning!" Nobody, and I mean nobody, stops at those stop signs. These liberated women are getting brazen.
Can't I just take a walk with my dog in my neighborhood in peace? Ok, I'll grant you that I look pretty hot in my cargo shorts, but why must I be ogled like a piece of meat? Can't I dress comfortably in public without all the unwanted attention? Must I start wearing a burqa?
