An Open Letter to the Leerers and Cat-Callers of NYC (And Elsewhere)…

September 5, 2007

Dear ::ahem:: “Sirs”,

Last Thursday, I was not, as they say, “asking for it” in anyway. That is to say, I was not wearing:

  • a tube top
  • a tank top
  • anything showing an inch of my “breast-eges”
  • short shorts
  • hot shorts
  • shorts with words on the buttocks
  • low-ride anything with my thong hanging out
  • low ride anything with my absence-of-underwear hanging out
  • high-hemlined anything with my panties showing
  • high-hemlined anything with my “va-jay-jay” showing
  • a shirt that bared my shoulders
  • a shirt that bared my elbows or wrists
  • a bottom with any skin above the ankle, nay, even up to and including the ankle, showing

To put it simply, unless my wearing a suit with pants that flatter me and a button-down shirt underneath that doesn’t have a button at the collar (yet nonetheless showed almost no skin past my collar bone) is “asking for it”, I strongly believe that I safely skirted this categorization.

However, this did not seem to stop you.
