I’m a man and I’ve never been catcalled, but I can believe women who overwhelmingly say it’s a common experience.

A non-black person saying they’ve never been followed around a convenience store, or dealt with adultification (the phenomenon where racial bias leads people to treat black children more as adults, including things like the first row in this comic assuming a young black woman is holding her own daughter).

We all live our own experiences, so trying to deny that something happens based on not having experienced it yourself is just being obtuse.

Either that or chew on its ear. That is normal, right?

The healthcare ones are real. I hear it from my own patients. I have to apologize for my job sector too frequently to women of color.

It's fun when people reveal they don't know how actual education and science works. They must think we just reinvent the wheel every time a kid decides to be a doctor or something.

I complained to the manager about not having a safe space and demanded the smokers be evicted. I caused a huge scene and they called security. I went limp so that they had to drag me out of the casino. I have returned everyday holding a picket sign with a picture of a cigarette crossed out in red ink. I will continue to do so until their smoking policy changes.

I'm trying to work what kind of film that would be.

Probably a mix between a 1950s film noir (read: well-dressed white men in fedoras slapping hysterical dames) and a 1970a blacksploitation film (read: well-dressed black pimps in capes slapping back talking street workers).

The fusion of tropes probably means that the women depicted are even given significant plot armour to endure the abuse, or, more darkly, never make it past the first scene.
