Creep

I'm sure everyone has heard a friend say "That guy's a creep!" at some point in their life. That is because of how often people (most likely women and openly gay men) are harassed or just made uncomfortable my a man. I myself have experienced several creeps since I reached puberty. Ever since I was about twelve men have honked their horns or wolf whistled or shouted at me from their cars as I walk down the street, both alone and when I was with females. Being a tough kid with a lot of anger and no where to direct it, I dealt with it by screaming "ASSHOLE!" at the passing cars or simply flipping them off. Some of the girls I grew up with would just feel creeped out and mention hating when that happens, but they did not share my enthusiasm for letting those passing weirdos know that you just can't do that. The reason behind that mentality is explained in these articles as well as some personal accounts from women who have been harassed and explanations on how not to be a creep yourself! Even if you think you may not be a creep, you could be acting like one! Even I noticed that I tend to do some of the things creeps do because of a fear of rejection. This is a good list of articles that can help raise awareness about how much women are objectified and how they are often shot down for being concerned about it by people who have never experienced it first hand! Everyone should do themselves a favor and read them.
