I can't imagine missing men ASSuming that women owe them anything.

Not a conversation, not our bodies, and not a second of our precious time, felllas.

Men might as well shut the hell up. After all, a woman who's been hooted at, catcalled, and insulted with sexual slurs all day is not going to be interested in her partner when she gets home.

If more men made that connection, the harassment would stop. They'd stop it.
