Goddess! Women are our own worst critics sometimes.

I was walking with a friend in Boston and a guy started following me and making sexual comments. I mentioned to my friend that this happened a lot and she said, “Why don’t you get a breast reduction?”

I can’t imagine what she would have suggested I do if his comments were directed at my legs. Have a double amputation, maybe?

The implication was that I — not the creepy guys who made catcalls — was somehow at fault. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take an abusive man to make women feel shame about our bodies.
