I used to do a lot of long distance running near an old house I used to rent. Everyday that I went for a run, I would have at least one car being driven by a man honk their horn at me, or yell out their window at me. I wasn’t running on the road, but on the footpath for pedestrians. I felt huge amounts of shame for trying to exercise and stay fit. It’s not fair that this becomes a normal part of a woman’s life, that just because she may be attractive, because she may be fit, or running in leggings or shorts, or because she is a woman, that it is acceptable for men to jeer and harass them.
