You’re clothing says “NOT INTERESTED GO AWAY” and you’re literally verbalising it. As always this isn’t a misunderstanding, it’s harassment and it’s wrong.
There’s a certain breed of male (I won’t say “man” because they’re not: they’re boys at best) that sees a woman sending signals they’re not interested and take it as a challenge. Wearing loose-fitting, frumpy clothing? Let’s see what she’s got under that! Tell them you’re queer. That’s because she’s not been with the right man yet! (Note: they think they’re the ones who can “cure” lesbian or asexual or whatnot people. Because they’re so special. 🙄) Tell them you’ll stab them in both eyes with a pair of crescent-bladed knives if they don’t back right the fuck down? I’m going to complain to the manager!
Can’t win for losing. The only thing they sometimes respect is “my boyfriend wouldn’t approve”. Because now you’re another man’s “property” and “property” rights are paramount. (Except for a small batch of them for whom even this doesn’t back them off.)
There’s a reason why there’s always a knife or two on my person.
“If you ask me one more time I will stab you with this knife.”
