it’s a comic based on a scene from a book called “the hogfather” it is a novel by terry pratchet in the diskworld series wherein santa (the hogfather) is being audited, so to keep people believing in irrational but symbolic constructs death takes over for him and isn’t very good at it, but he does his best.
This is exactly my sense of humor and exactly why I love Terry Pratchet.
so last week I was walking downtown and a girl leaned out her car window and yelled “YOU LOOK LIKE A PRINCESS” and today a girl walked past me on the sidewalk and said “I love your socks” (they have birds on them) and I suggest we replace all cat-calling with girls complimenting each other on the street because honestly I have never felt more pretty or into girls in my goddamn life
Catcalling is a compliment when women do it
no, complimenting isn’t catcallng because it’s actually trying to make the person happy as opposed to deliberately harassing someone as a power trip
one of the best moments of my life was biking past this group of late-teens girls and one yelling “I LIKE YOUR BIKE,” and i smiled and waved, and another yells after me “and you’re pretty!”
women supporting other women is pure and will always be a good thing; men harassing people because they feed off of asserting dominance over people without power will always be trash
If men want to yell things like your socks are cool and I love your hair, that would be well appreciated. But instead they’ll just bark at me from their cars.
I am totally here for people of all genders replacing catcalling with gentle drive-by compliments.
Let’s make drive-by compliments the trend for 2017.
