Give Him The Finger & 8 Other Responses For The Guy Who Told You To Smile

Just Say No

I could get really deep and say that strange men ask us to smile on the street because historically women have been relegated to a position of service, and not just service, but service with a smile. I can almost hear the generations of pre-feminist, maternal coaching. Fix him his dinner! Bring him his plate! Just lay there! And do it with a smile, baby. It sounds ridiculous, but we all well know that there are men who yearn to have those days back; and any woman who is not walking around with a smile plastered on her face, is a woman who is a threat to the system, the good ole days. We can’t have that, now can we, tell her to smile! When he does that, tell him NO! Flat out. That’ll teach him. (By the way, I’m just kidding about the feminist/patriarchal system thing…or am I?)
