Stop it: CATCALLING

Stop it: Catcalling


Have you ever sexually harassed a girl before?

Do you know what catcalling really is?

Catcalling is a shout, whistle, or comment of a sexual nature, usually made toward a woman. It should be stop.

According to yougov.com, 31% of 18-29 years old said that catcalling is NOT a sexual harassment, and that is not okay! Why do you even catcall a girl?

What can you benefit from catcalling? Satisfaction? Do you feel satisfied?

It's not a joke to talk about a girl's boobs or butt! It's not even a compliment. You have issues if you think it's a joke or compliment. You don't know her, why do you even call her "baby" or "babe"?

Why would you ask a stranger if you could take her home? Why would you tell her to give you a smile? Why would a girl smile to a stranger who stares at her like she is a piece of meat.

A lot of boys catcall. Not just strangers, but also those who are with you in school.

When I was in 11th grade, a boy from another section was always catcalling me. I thought that if I ignore him, he would stop.

But he didn't...
He went to extreme. He came closer and started touching my body.
It happened for a few seconds.

People say a lot of things like fight back etc, but when it happens, you really don't know what to do.

I was scared, so I was just standing there, frozen.

His friends were laughing as they left...


Never talk, yell, whistle, etc. to a girl as if she is yours, because she's not. You don't own her and she doesn't owe you anything, not even a smile.

If you're attracted to her, catcalling isn't gonna start any kind of positive relationship. It just shows that you could be a rapist.

When you catcall her, you're scaring her. And that is not funny.
You are giving her a reason not to leave her house or to walk in the streets again.

When girls are being catcalled, most of them are intimidated.
They feel unsafe.

It is not a girl's fault if she is being catcalled, she is not the one who is doing the shouting of sexual or scary comments.

If a girl wears something nice, it doesn't mean she is inviting you to have sex with her. It means she feels good about her self.
Every outfit is not an invitation.

And silence doesn't mean "come closer and touch me!" NEVER TOUCH A GIRL, BECAUSE A GIRL'S BODY IS NOT SOME PUBLIC PROPERTY! SHE IS NOT YOUR PROPERTY! YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY RIGHT TO TOUCH HER!

The person with issues is the one who catcalls, because he is the one who has the intentions of scaring a girl.

Stop catcalling. It's not a compliment, it's sexual harassment.
Stop it, because it doesn't make you a man.

Best Part Of Me.

When people ask me, "What is your favorite day of the week?", my answer will always be "Sunday" which is a day with God. The rest are "Stressdays". A day that I would spend my time listening to lectures at School, or maybe doing an activity at School. I'm not complaining, I love School! But we can't forget the fact that the day ends with tired-panda-eyes. When I get home from School, I would be greeted by house chores! There is almost no time for myself, when I wake up in the morning, I would never have the "yay" feeling for choosing what to wear for School. A shirt and jeans matched with hackneyed sneakers would be fine, but isn't that way too boring? I don't know what your side is, but to me Fashion is suppose to be in my best friend. A quote by Nina Garcia, made me realize the "power" of accessories. It can either make or break a look. Few days ago, two people gave me this boring bracelets. ...

Haters?

"Haters?" ft. REAL TALK Hi to my lovely, amazing, beautiful, handsome, and wonderful readers ! *kiss kiss emoji* So, this is going to be an early update, wasn't really expecting this to happen. So I heard the news from my cousin few minutes after my latest blog update last night. I found out that some people were bashing her on Facebook, through chat and post. Yes, it is very immature to do such a thing. I didn't wan't to defend her in a way would make me a bad example, but I wasn't really able to hold myself to stay down because, well, first of all, she is my cousin, she's part of the family. My cousin and I are cousins by blood, but best friends by choice. So I was the one who replied to all the trash, honestly, I knew I went too far and it wasn't smart to do such act. I sincerely apologize to those who have read my trashy post on Facebook. It was really wrong to do it. I also felt guilty because yesterday I posted a v...

Iligan City Community Church, inc. spends this special moment with a touch of gold in a magical yet spiritual night. What is an anniversary?

Jeffrey Rd., Pala-o, Iligan City(Between La Salle Academy and ILPI.) Why would people celebrate "anniversary"? What is so special about it? For me, this was really hard to relate. I didn't want to go and be with everyone at church, but a part of me was saying, "GO." To be honest, I was like a crazy pers...
