"Sometimes when I get home, I tell my boyfriend about the persistence of interactions like this, the pervasiveness of it. He seems aghast, but I get the feeling that he, like of a lot of men, think I’m exaggerating.
I can’t entirely blame him; most people have a hard time grasping the gravitas of a situation until they, themselves, have experienced it. He’s never seen this happen in public. He’s never had it happen to him.
And, of course, he has told me to just ignore it because that seems like the most logical approach. When you ignore things, they go away, right?"
"“Seriously, stop being nice to him. You’re making it worse.”
This conclusion exhausts me because we have been over this and he should know better and I am tired of holding the hands of men in my life while also keeping my fists clenched as men I don’t know penetrate my space and expect my time.
It’s also decidedly untrue. He doesn’t know what makes it worse, because he hasn’t lived it every day. He has gathered much less anecdotal data than I have."
"It happens regardless of what I’m wearing, regardless of how I feel, regardless of how I move through the world. It’s not what I do and it’s not how I act. It is my presence — and just that!"

Selling this to build something else.
It's a 57 square but i normally ride 55s, and this was fine. it's on the small side of 57 (i know i know).
This was originally a total ratbike, dodgy DIY gold paintjob and rusted components. I stripped it, got Cole Coatings to nanocoat it (wasn't keen on traditional MBK loud 80s double fluoro fade and it was a bit of an experiment, but it's been a year now and only some slight discolouration - see pics) and put some new components on it.
MBKs have an annoying seatpost quirk - no clamp, but a screw, hence keeping the original (and slightly battered, see photo) seatpost. Forks are Bianchi carbon 1" - I taped over the logos but you could easily peel that off. Got the original forks somewhere too.
Asking for £500 to cover the paintwork, virtually brand new wheels and second hand but good nick 105 groupset. Keen to sell whole as I need the $$$ but would spilt if necessary.
Any questions please let me know!

i'm still down with the sickness (tm) and given my famed poor immune function being out in the rain all day tomorrow will be a bad idea. i'm dragging myself (probably walking, at this rate) to ladies' drinks tonight and getting a good nights' sleep though so fingers crossed i'll be alright tomorrow. annoyed because i've been looking forward to this for weeks!

remember your mudguards.
