July 25, 2005 The other day, I was putting fuel into my vehicle and at the pump behind me was a younger man. All of a sudden, he calls to me and starts to tell me what he wants to do to certain parts of my anatomy! Mind you, I was wearing my Dale Earnhardt #3 baggy t-shirt, and a pair of pajama pants that are black and white cheetah print with a pair of floral print flip-flops and my hair pulled into a ponytail. I was not dressed to the nines and I didn't think that I looked like a fashion model. But that didn't stop Mr. Jaguar from yelling at me about my behind and what he thought about it. What goes through men's minds when they do this to us women? Do they honestly think it makes us swoon? Are we to drop everything and run into their arms and do the things they are screaming at the top of their lungs they want to do to us? I think not! All this sort of behavior does to me is make me irate and I yell back about how they should go and kiss their Momma with that mouth. Of course that doesn't stop them. Then thoughts of grabbing something hard and smashing them in the head dance through my brain. As long as I think about it and not actually carry through, I'm ok and stay out of legal troubles. I really wanted to drop the nozzle and go over and just slap this guy in the face and tell him off. Or better yet, call the cops on him for verbal sexual abuse. I really didn’t need to be told about my attributes early in the morning or at any time in the day. In fact, I don’t think that any woman deserves this sort of sleazy treatment. Do men that catcall women think this is sexy and make them desirable? All it really does is make them look ridiculous. I have YET to hear a story of a couple meeting because he shouted at her on the street. I have heard of couples meeting through dating services and couples meeting through chat rooms on the Internet, but never because she was putting gas in her vehicle or she was walking down the street and he was making obscene comments about her features. In fact, the day I do hear of a couple meeting that way, I will write a column taking all this back. But until I do, I am going to stay angry at men that think that we women think that they are sexy for yelling at us about our anatomies. If we women turned the tables and yelled at men the way they yell at us, it would make men think that we are serious and they would flock too us like the Swallows flocking to Capistrano. It would NOT make them feel the shame that we feel, in fact it would make them feel that they are special. So women, do what I do, bark at them like the dogs they are! ------------ About the author: Kaycee Nilson has completed her first novel, "Night Falls on Chicago."
