Nothing gets me more heated than law enforcement officials and the like who feel the need to expose and humiliate women, probably because I’ve had a couple of encounters myself. One was when I was in the airport last year going through security check-in – the security person told me to take my scarf off, which I did. Then he told me to take my thin cardigan off (I only had a small tank underneath), which I refused – you know, considering the woman who was already in the clear in front of me wasn’t asked to take her scarf or jacket off. So he “allowed” me to proceed. Fucking jerk.
I’m sure some of you have had your own experiences…
