"So many men just don’t understand this issue and a lot of men have trouble putting themselves in the shoes of women in these situations. For them, they see one instance of it happening.

But what they never see is all the other guys that are doing the exact same thing and none of them get to experience what that collective weight feels like to have that happen day in, day out — being judged and talked about by complete strangers about your hair, how you look, how you’re dressed and just being objectified like that day in, day out."
