Thin privilege is not being bullied by strangers

I was spending time with some of my friends in between classes at college and we were talking about some cute guys in our classes. When I mentioned that I was considering asking one out, two guys who overheard our conversation started laughing. One of the boys said “no one would ever have sex with a whale” like me and to “man the harpoons.” My friends told me to just ignore them and I pretended like it didn’t bother me but I really went home instead of to my last class.
