wow. perfectly and poetically summed up the everyday female experience. This is exactly how I feel walking anywhere outside my neighborhood, like i’m on display. Like every person that glances at me is judging not just my outward appearance; but my history, what i’m made of, whether im worthy enough to be a woman. ur definitely going places babes, i’ll keep reading as long as u keep writing.

Beautiful writing, Eve. I love reading your meaningful and heartfelt essays. I can also relate and empathize with the deep feeling of experiencing mirrored femininity. The real life struggles with misogynistic objectification are quite painful. Me too. Seriously though, you’re one of the best authors I know (yes I do have quite a few favorites). I swear your poetic, brilliant, and beautiful stories just keep growing stronger, blossoming and blooming in their clarity, sheer power, and profound sincerity. So good <3

i'm SO taken with your writing style and the way you find a balance between content and form; the poetry doesn't take away from the devastation of the topic at all! the un-look-at-ableness, the performances of femininity that always foreground their effects on the others, the strange and bitter rush of power that turns on its head when walking a street alone at night - all deeply resonated with me. brilliant work!

I feel like you would love Rouge by Mona Awad and Cleo from 5 to 7. Reading this felt like stepping into those same feelings I experienced when I read and watched both.
