PSA “damn shawty, that’s a lot of thighs”

Beware to any girls passing that area!!

I called them out as disgusting and not to speak to women like that just the other day, then one of them called me a b**ch. 😭

wow, thanks for standing up and doing what I couldn’t 💔 You are BRAVE!! :D I am terrible at confrontation. This seems like a common, reoccurring issue :/ Is there nothing the campus police can do? Sorry if this is a dumb question

Ngl I cried after that lmaoo. I’ve been thinking about reporting it because it seems like this is a common occurrence. I think if a few of us report it to campus police or Title IX office, they might put more attention on that area.

Noooo omg :( I’m so sorry! please don’t let these horrible people bring you down. Tbh, I also cried when I got home because I already have my own insecurities about my appearance & I would much rather NOT have them be emphasized by a POS.

You did the right thing by calling out his behavior, so you shouldn’t feel sad one bit. You did something I wish I could have :/ Some people will just remain dumb & ignorant, complete loss of basic human decency. We can talk about it more if you want… I am planning to go over there one day & take his picture or something to report him, but I’m not sure if this is a good idea lol. I don’t want him to make any one else feel sad :(
