I might feel differently if the street commentary I get was more complimentary but I have also been groped, followed, shouted at by guys trying to intimidate me and felt the eyeballs on my breasts experience too often. 

I figured this was coming and it is one interesting welcome to the club eh?  I took extensive training and volunteer with our local women's resource center that deals with domestic violence and sexual assault.  The stats and personal stories are horrible but the survivors are amazing.

Passable or not, beautiful or just in the wrong place with bad actors we are wise to be thoughtful about our security, to have a plan and to walk and talk with confidence. 

A smile is complimentary enough for me
