Every now and again I’m like “why don’t I get the bus more often?” and then I get the bus.

Today there were several guys taking dares to sit next to me and one of them called me his friends bird. 

So, I got off and walked half an hour home. 

A lot of my worst experiences with men have been on buses. It’s like they know any women on the bus probably doesn’t have another way to travel so we have to sit there and put up with whatever bullshit they want to throw our way

Thing is, I don’t think it’s even as deep as that. Men just see women as objects, and in the context of a bus ride, we’re potential entertainment.

If we get up and walk the rest of the way, it’s funny because they managed to push us off the bus.
If we politely ask them to stop, it’s funny because they’ve provoked us but we’re still being small and womanly.
If we get mad, it’s funny because a woman is doing emotions.
And so on.

Men find our emotions and reactions to their harassment amusing, because to this type of trash, we’re not people- we’re objects.
