Assignment 21- Sam Underwood

A problem I'd like to solve? Sexual Harassment.
Really, Rape Culture as a whole.
I'm tired of hearing inappropriate comments made about myself and the women around me.
I'm a seventeen year old girl. Old enough to drive, have my own job, and stay out late exploring the world. I've grown accustomed to catcalling as I walk down the street or feeling concerned for my safety at gas stations. Walking to my car I hold my keys between my knuckles in fear of what may happen and what has happened to so many other women. It disgusts me. It disgusts me that I live in a world that we teach young girls how to avoid rape rather than teach young boys not to rape. I wish for a world where my friends and I could say that we weren't afraid. I wish for a world where I can walk to my car in peace.
