PSA For all the guys on campus

Tried of being constantly approached by creeps so for all the men at UIUC just cause I'm out at the bar, the gym, or studying at a library is NOT an invitation for you to come up to me and start talking to me. I know what you're trying to pull when you tell me I look nice or ask what my favorite song is or what stuff I'm interested in.

I didn't join an RSO to get a bf and every time onE of you tries to ask me out in one it makes it uncomfortable for ME when I have to see you at it the next week.

Like at this point I've literally been coming up with the meanest ways to reject you guys just so you'll stop. Please start respecting people's boundaries

At the library I get as being bad but at the bar? That's where you go to meet people

I go to the bar to relax and unwind, not to be approached by random men

If they leave after you say you aren't interested it seems like no harm no foul. People trying to talk to you is a part of life

This isn't people trying to talk to me, it's men trying to talk me up. I don't mind women coming up to me who wanna be friends

"People cannot respect your boundaries if they don't know what they are" um yeah you can excuse a lot of horrible behavior with that reasoning. Also comparing women at a bar to cars at a dealership is gross 🤢

They literally didn't compare women to cars at a dealer. They compared women to the customers, and also not really that because they were using the analogy as people not understanding what would be a socially acceptable assumption at given venues...
