As a woman, how can I dress to get harassed less in public?

As a woman, how can I dress to get harassed less in public? I like wearing cute things – not slutty, just a lot of white and pink – but it brings so much unwanted attention that I’m goaded into wearing dark, baggy clothing just to get people off of me. I was thinking of getting blackout shades but that’s just not going to go well with everything.

    lol I bet "harassment" is men smiling at you and saying hi and holding the door open. The vast majority of women somehow manage not to have such an issue that they need to wear a garbage bag.

      Nah, women do that too. I live in a pretty seedy part of town so I am a bit more paranoid. Are you familiar with the rapist stare? It’s like they can’t decide if they want to heck, eat, or mutilate you, or all three. I’ve also gotten this from another woman once, but I’d rather not see it at all on my daily trips to the store.

        Women did this more often when I dropped to 17.5bmi. Something about the increased androgyny that causes them to see me more of a sex object.

        My daily thoughts so all is fair.

    daily reminder that when w*men complain about harassment, they’re really just humble-bragging about how attractive they are
    don’t fall for it

      No. Never assumed I was attractive because was bullied for reasons other than appearance but assumed because I was butt heck ugly. It was only when I readjusted myself during puberty that caused me to realize it was my cobatitive and standoffish personality

    where do you live that you can’t wear normal shit without people looking like they’re going to rape you? are you in a super conservative place where you stand out a lot of you’re not dressed like an elderly lady getting ready for church? anyway aside from moving you should get a concealed carry license, dress how you want, then stare back at them

    XX cromosome here, I dress pretty androgenously, with neutral colors and loose baggy fits so I attract little to no attention. Also no makeup and no artificial hair color. I know it seems boring but it works, my only problem is that every time I go out someone needs to talk to me for directions or random stuff, I guess my face is too friendly but I don’t know what to do about it. No negative interaction though luckily

    Dress how you want and carry pepper spray.
    You can level it up by buying a gun. Learn how to use it and train monthly or don’t bother.
