Shame

Shame



When you’re young, you are so full of yourself. I remember this particular day, this particular dress. It was long, olive green, a tee shirty thing with a scoop neck front, long to the floor. I was very slender and had very small breasts so did not wear a bra with, and it made me feel grand. It was a hot day, my skin was deeply tanned, my hair frizzy and wild from the humidity as I left the house to meet a friend for a drink.

The sidewalks were filled with girls in halter tops, cut off daisy dukes. Men shirtless in shorts. The sun relentless. I was happy, flipflopping my way through the crowds, pausing to look at the stuff the street vendors had out, eager to see the person waiting for me.

A hand on my arm, pulled me to a halt, the flow of the walkers balking. A woman of about 40, with two others of similar age, tightened around me. I smiled helpfully, thinking them in need of directions.

“Put on some clothes” she hissed.

She tossed my arm down as if it were infected. The three marched off, erect, disdainful.

I stood there, unable to move. People who had heard, seen scurried off. A young man, tried to say something but left, lowering his head. The sidewalk began to move again. I was buffeted by people wondering why I stood so still, there, in the middle. I turned, let the flow of the bodies move me along until I came to the cross street that led me to the side street, to the turn, another turn, to home.

I slipped off the dress, it fell to the floor.

I stood in the shower, the water beating a steady rhythm, in time my heartbeat slowed to match.

It is not easy to like yourself. A woman stole from me this time.

ground, time. me

Don't you just love those kind of people.... love to put your foot right up their tight asses.

People go around planting seeds in peoples minds, sometimes they are weeds and sometimes they are flowers. Once in a while it's a tomato..

I used to get an awful lot of that kind of shit from perfect strangers when I was young. It took me so long to figure out why.

Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her infinite variety. Other women cloy
The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry
Where most she satisfies. For vilest things
Become themselves in her, that the holy priests
Bless her when she is riggish. ~~ from Antony & Cleopatra

I'm hoping that you just washed off the filth of that woman touching you and put your dress back on.

But being young, you probably didn't.

People sometimes say things and don't understand how much their words wound others. Those women were awful, and products of their time. That is not an excuse, just simply a bit of an explanation.

If there was a way to ask them what they were thinking, they more than likely would recount how they, too, were accosted by someone in their past, who made them feel the way that they made you feel. That's why many therapists say that there are cycles of abuse, or cycles of shame or guilt.

I wish that had not happened. I know that when I see people being judgmental, I really try to not shirk from it, but try to engage people on why they feel the need to say the horrible things that they do.

i was a hippy, maybe that's what ticked her off. who knows really.

it's more about the feeling of being singled out and alone in a crowd and made to feel "wrong". people do it all the time. in a hundred small ways. to people who are inked, pierced, shave their heads, wear statement clothing. i love to go through Harvard Square and see it all. to me it shows life.

No doubt she was jealous of how young, beautiful, and carefree you were.

This story is a good reminder to me not to judge how younger women are dressed. Not that I would EVER grab someone's arm and scold them, but ya know, sometimes those thoughts float by. Good god why shouldn't they enjoy being young and free?


wickedeasy replies on 4/18/2017 12:47 pm:
my niece is often an attention receiver. she is nearly 6' tall so people notice her. and while she is not slutty per se, she wears what she wants and does draw disapproving looks. the fact that she is with an old lady keeps most from speaking to it.

It might help to imagine her being hit by a bus.
