Dear You:

Dear Semi-Attractive Woman on the Train:

I’ve heard of giving someone “the eye”. I’ve gotten the eye once or twice myself. More aggressive people engage in something fondly known as “eye fucking”. It’s “the eye” on steroids. I’m no “eye virgin”. I’ve been “eye fucked” before.

But a step beyond all of the above is what you did to me the other day on the train. Before that day I can’t say that I’ve ever seen “eye rape”… but all that has been changed. The worst part is that it all began because I was trying to read the subway map ABOVE YOUR HEAD. I wasn’t even looking at you. (But you’ll probably tell your friends I was begging for it).

Uncomfortably violated,

Jonathon
