New Comic Day! Add your own alt text for panel 4.

The original text for that last panel was: “Ugh. Society dictates that I sit here and put up with you until you get bored or interrupted, because asking politely for you not to bother me might make you aggressive. However, playing along despite having no interest in pursuing this conversation would make me a ‘tease’ and therefore worthy of insult. Even though I’ve never met you and you’ve invaded my personal space without my permission, asking for the basic right of privacy would be considered ‘causing a scene.’ I hate you for putting me in this position, and you don’t even realize it.”

It didn’t quite fit.

I have lived through Kate’s elaborated text description to this comic so. many. times. Especially in the last twelve months, my Unwanted Scary Male Attention encounters have been through the goddamn roof. It makes me fucking terrified and furious (but secretly, because I’m afraid of bringing out the offending guys’ aggression against me or ‘making a scene’ if I tell them to leave me alone)

May have reblogged it before, but that’s no reason to stop now! It doesn’t even have to be something as aggressive as “you look sexy, you’re cute, tell me your name”, either. When you’re sitting quietly and drinking your coffee, maybe reading, enjoying time by yourself, and a dude starts making conversation with you when you’re obviously not interested, he’s saying “my interest in you is more important than what you want”. That is some bullshit. Fuck you, guy.
