Hello ladies (current and former) of Lemmy (current) - I’m curious how your experience of the male gaze has changed as you moved in and out of young-woman-hood.

How has your opinion of being seen changed through this process?

    The times I got the most cat calls and people in cars harassing me was when I was extremely, clearly, underaged. Now I’m much older and fatter and invisible. I fucking hate being looked upon by anyone though. Let me become data inside a small spikey robot ball.

      I’m sorry to hear that. My wife was booted at and catcalled as she walked to school, so she has had a similar experience.

      I could be happily be a robot, but if I could be anything I think I’d be a new world monkey like a Spider Monkey. Having a tail would be dope.
