So is this the female experience?
So I'm 21f I've recently moved and I've started going on walks and two separate times within the few times I've gone walking the first time this guy honks at me as I'm going on the opposite side then turns around asks if I want a ride I tell him no and he asks again and I say no and walk away and then he leaves and comes back to ask for my number the second time the guy in a pickup truck drives past me honks and I keep walking and he kept going past but I noticed he stopped a little bit away and honked more and I keep walking having a creeping suspicion he's going to come back and sure enough he drives past me pulls into a driveway in reverse and stares at me for a second and I'm kinda just like walking and I feel like REALLY uncomfortable at this point but luckily he just drove past me again so is this how the average female experience?

geez that's awful, sounds about right though (im mtf too but just speaking off friends' experiences). I had my first experience like that recently since I'm only 8 months in and had some creepy ass old dudes staring me down while I walked in to pick up a DoorDash order, I just kept my head down and thank god they didn't say anything to me, instead they just stopped talking amongst themselves to check me out.. in a sense, it was validating seeing as it was my first time being misogynised, but I can see how that would get very old and uncomfortable quick. that sounds awful and if that happens again to you I'd seriously threaten to call the police and/or buy self defense tools like mace. best of luck out there girl 🩷
