This might seem like a very small thing. This might seem like i’m stepping a little too far. Actually, I thought this of myself when I first decided to start this secondary tumblr page to write this post. Then I asked myself, why am i second guessing myself? Could it be that as a woman I have been told to let things go, to ‘not make a mountain out of a molehill’, that i need to 'lighten up’? Maybe I would have, but the fact that three seperate men ogled my mouth during this one incident, made me change my mind.

Yesterday, I was waiting for a bus in Dublin. I was starving, so I bought myself a bounty. A chocolate bar. I was standing at the bus stop eating this bar, my mind preoccupied. I’d just got news about having some of my finances suspended due to some beurocratic fuckup, so naturally my head was elsewhere.

When I finally looked around me, a man, maybe aged 40-50, was standing about two feet away from me,his whole body facing mine, completely still on a busy dublin city pavement, staring at me eating this chocolate bar. His mouth agape, transfixed by the thought of my lucious lips wrapped around his cock, no doubt.

When he caught me looking at him, I hoped the look of disgust on my face registered in his head, because he removed his gaze and walked away. About three minutes later, another man, similar age, did the exact same thing, then when i Boarded the bus, the man sitting across from me, the exact.same.thing.

This is such a common occurence that many people will probably think, ah, get over it, you must be on your rag, just another 'psycho feminist rant’, or fuck knows what else. But three men in the space of 5 minutes cant be wrong.

I got to thinking. When was the first time this happened to me? The first time I noticed this behaviour was when i was about 13. I cant count how many times its happened since.

Maybe its our culture. God knows those flake ads totally objectify women. The thing that pisses me off is, that it seems women are still ultimately sexualised by men. We cant even eat without being ogled at.
