It’s easy in all of the turmoil of the Presidential election to forget that there are local races that will impact our lives as much or more than that of the Presidency.
like that of our State Supreme Court…

Topic: Just words
I have to start off saying that I’m extremely nervous posting this on here. But I’ve been encouraged, being that this was an upsetting thing that happened to me in our community, so I’m going for it. This is not a rant, and I would personally appreciate it not being treated as so. I hope that it will only bring about contemplative conversation and maybe some minute change for the better.
On Wednesday, (just the day before hearing Michelle Obama’s speech), I was verbally harassed pretty badly by a man in a vehicle, while I was out running on Alki. It was definitely not the first time this sort of thing has happened. I stood up for myself pretty well this time, actually. Specifically, after the second time he cat-called me in 2 miles, I stopped, turned around, and said, “Cat-calling is not a compliment, it makes me feel objectified.” He proceeded to yell some pretty nasty things at me, and later catch up to me in his vehicle and follow me for about a block continuing the yelling and name-calling. I didn’t stop, but yelled back, “If you keep talking to me I’m going to call the police, you’re harassing me.” And he eventually drove away. There were a bunch of people around the whole time. I was scared and angry, but felt I had to do my best not to show it. Because they were “just words.” I think it’s got to be hard to really understand the impact of such words if you have not had them said directly to you in a moment of true fear and threat. Even as I write this, I automatically think of all the potential reactions: “Why were you running alone? What were you wearing? What did you say or do to provoke him? What exactly did he say? It couldn’t have been that bad. You got lucky. Take it as a compliment. It could have been worse. He just didn’t know what to say to you. Boys will be boys. Men just can’t help themselves. Can’t you take a joke? He probably just thought you were hot. He was probably trying to impress his friend. Do you think you accomplished anything by standing up for yourself? You know you can’t change how he thinks, so why say anything? Forgive and forget. I guess all you can do is let it go. You probably made it worse. You should have ______. Etc.” I like to think that most people don’t want this to be the reality of daily life for women, so the easy reaction is to explain it away. It’s also shocking, and most of the time I think people don’t know what to do or say. This is just part of an overwhelmingly huge and extremely long-term problem. Problem-solving requires action. Words are actions. Please don’t excuse words when they hurt, humiliate, objectify, threaten, or belittle people. They’re not “just words.” Some things to say instead: “I’m sorry that happened to you. I’m sorry you have to deal with that. That’s not right. You’re right, it isn’t fair. You don’t deserve to be treated that way.” It’s a start.
