2. Glasses over contacts: When I wanted to try contact lenses (and especially when I began wearing the colored ones), I'd have to wear sunglasses that looked like prescription glasses or regular sunglasses over them whenever I am in certain areas or at a bus stop.  If not, then there are extra leers and inappropriate comments.  They go apeshit over gray eyes as if they've never seen any eyecolor other than pitch black before.  If I'd known contacts would cause this much trouble with men, I'd have stuck to glasses.

3. Mannish Clothing--I used to be a real girly girl, but now much of the time I wear oversized unisex clothing.  Men talk all of this junk about how they want a woman to "be a woman", but when a woman leaves the house dressed and adorned like a woman, there is much harassment.  This is especially true in black and Mestizo infested areas.

4. Oversized clothing--I don't have particularly large breasts, nor the bubble butts that black men love.  But yet, I have to scrutinize my wardrobe before I go out as if this is Istanbul or something.  No clothing can be fitted.  Shirts must be loose to hide the shape of the breast (imagine....a female over 13 with breasts!  Monkeys act like they've never seen this before).  All pants must be loose, past the knee (even the cropped pants).  Shirts must also be long enough to cover the behind.  Remember the "skirt finger tips" test in grades K-12?  Yep, I still do that folks, except it is not with a skirt, it is with a shirt.  Shirts cannot be shorter than my fingertips when my arms are at my side in certain areas and bus stops.  Shirts must be buttoned up to the highest button at the throat...no collarbones or necks please.  I must not wear sleeveless tops...I made the mistake of doing this once (with an oversize long pair of capris and the top itself was long and baggy) and was still harassed to the point where I thought I'd have to call the police.  It's like I'm Muslim or something with all of the care I have to put into my wardrobe.

5. No Makeup

6. Hats: This backfired...the monkeys seem to love the mystery of seeing what's behind the hat....especially if it is a baseball hat...they love these.  I've even been harassed in old redneck man bucket hats.

7. Scarfs: When I go to the bus depot in a certain neighboring cities (which is often as I go to school in that city), I always think about wearing a scarf to shield the hair.  Monkeys seem to think you're free game for lewd comments if you have hair past neck or shoulder length.  Even if you have shorter hair or the hair is worn in certain styles whereby its true length is concealed, these certain styles draw them out.  The trick is knowing which style will do this...figuring it out is not an exact science.  You never know what'll set 'em off.

8. Not doing the hair: It's just like what it sounds like....wear the same bun for days on end.

9. Being mindful of the hairstyles I choose: This was discussed earlier.

10. Fake Wedding Rings: Monkeys young or old have no respect for marriage so this too backfired on me. 

11. Coats: When the bus feels particularly unsafe or if I am wearing clothing that doesn't conceal me as I feel it should (i.e. my oversized stuff was in the wash) or if I am  at certain bus stops, I put on my long jacket even though it is not cold.

12. Headphones: So you can drown out their "hey shortayz" and the beeping and screaming out of car windows. You see they need you to notice them in order to do their "harassment" properly.  The sunglasses and keeping my head straight keeps the eye contact down.  The earphones keep the sound contact down.  If they believe I cannot hear their crudeness they will not do it (at least theoretically they shouldn't).

13. Sunglasses: Hides the eyes.  Monkeys love any eye color than their own.

14. Fake Cell Phones: just pretend to be talking on it.  They usually need your attention, visual and audio, before they harass.  The sunglasses take care of the visual.  This or the walkman will take care of the audio.

15. Sitting at the front of the bus: young buffoons are more straightforward.  Older men are just as nasty, if not more so, they are just sneakier.  I've learned this the hard way. If you don't sit where they and their do nothing middle aged buddies can make fun of you without the driver or others (such as older women) seeing and rebuking them, then this cuts down on harassment.
