The key though is that I've completely decided to do whatever I feel like doing and discard any pressure/guilt/other emotion society thinks I should or shouldn't have (and that includes the pressure to be "liberated" from hair color as much as it includes the pressure to look "presentable.") This gets easier to do as I age.
As for feeling invisible, yes, it can be frustrating in certain situations, but MAN I am really enjoying walking down the street these days without hearing cat calls or pretending not to be bothered by stares or other comments. Haven't been to a bar or a crowded bus or metro train lately but the reduction of random groping will be welcome when I do.
Short version: trying to look on the bright side, which does exist!
What strange comments. You act like attractive women are harassed more. It's not a freakin compliment, sister. You should unpack some of this crap right here.
