KFANYC2: Notes from my talk about “Yellow Fever”
August 13th, 2009
I was videorecording it, but the camera was knocked over (you can hear it within the first 10secs) and then the picture was all weird afterwards.
So, I put the mp3 up with the picture of my iBook desktop wallpaper.
Attempting to pass my kvetch as a semi-intelligent argument…
Asian woman are constantly sexually harassed in America.
White girls, black girls, Latinas…sorry, I love y’all but what Asian women go through is ridiculous.
I mean, even my mom gets harassed. And she’s a slightly frumpy middle-aged woman who walks around in golfing clothes. Although, yes, she has a cute figure and looks really youthful.
Anyways, I’ve had strange men proposition me on the street (this is a thread I started on FetLife)
Just walking down the street -- I have a sense that all the boys think I’m the modern-day reincarnation of this chick:
I mean, when I came home from post-KFANYC2 partying, some guy tried to follow me into my apartment. This happens more often than it should -- to me, to my fellow Asian female friends.
And I don’t even want to get started about the racist harassment that happens on social networking sites.
But y’know how we deal? Or at least, how I deal?
You’re gonna harass me anyways? You’re gonna send me creepy messages with pictures of porn Asian chicks?
Fine, I’ll wear short skirts. I’ll put on ‘ho gear. Because the fact is, I ain’t fuckin’ you. You’re hurting yourself waaay more than you hurt me.
Ok, end of bitter rant.
Back to regularly scheduled programming of rainbows and kittens.
