I want to go grab a snack at the corner store, but last night when I went a man approached me and did the “why aren’t you smiling/smile for me” routine and now I’m afraid that the same thing (or something worse) will happen again, so I’m probably not going to go. I’m 22 and in Detroit. Made me feel helpless, like a prisoner in my own home.

I rarely have problems with the smile police because I am a naturally smiley person. I smile pretty much all the time....

The smile police are one of the most overlooked instance of misogyny that happens in everyday life, in my opinion....
