I was walking down the street on the middle of a Saturday afternoon when a man, walking with another male, said loudly to me, “girl, let’s go make some babies.” I’m ashamed to say I was too stunned to say anything back. The comment wasn’t even that vulgar, but it made me feel so angry and helpless.
