For those of you out there that don’t see a problem with catcalling and street harassment- This is for you.Imagine you are walking down the street and for some reason, owls just love to swoop at you during your day. You never know when it’s going to happen. They fly very close over your head and make a loud noise. Sometimes it catches you off guard and sometimes you were expected it because you saw that owl up on the light post looking at you. Even though none of these owls have ever actually made contact with your head, you always worry that one day an owl might just attack you. This causes you to try at take different paths or maybe even skip walking in general. Even walking with a friend won’t stop them from swooping at you, so it just becomes your way of life. You’re told that owls swoop at certain people’s heads and nothing can be done about it. You have to just learn to deal with this for the rest of your life.I don’t know about you, but owls swooping at my head would be annoying and would make me a bit stressed out. I don’t really see how anyone would take an owl swooping at their head as a compliment. So maybe just keep this idea in your back pocket the next time you want to defend catcalling and street harassment. Think of all those owls, watching you ready to swoop.(awesome artwork by: Claire Quigley- click on image to take you to her inprint) -- source link
