A COMMENT IS NOT A COMPLIMENT.
‘You look prettier when you smile’ is a comment.
‘Your smile is beautiful’ is a compliment.
Know the difference. Be aware of when you’ve crossed the line between the two.
Here’s a very colourful campaign with a not so colourful message.
This one goes out to everyone who thinks an unsolicited di*k pic is a way of flirting, that car beeping should be seen as flattery and catcalling should be appreciated - because, attention right? No, a line has been crossed. Check yourself.
COMMENTS ARE NOT COMPLIMENTS.
Making a remark on someone is not a compliment.
Catcalling is definitely not a compliment (fu*k off).
Making someone feel uncomfortable is not a compliment.
Forcing an action on someone is not a compliment.
Addressing someone as a dog is not a compliment.
Placing blame, sexual harassment, cyber flashing is not a compliment.
Being patronising towards someone - you guessed it - also NOT a compliment.
