Not THAT Type of CHILL!

"'Ironic Sexism: The Male Gaze of Hipster Spaces’" by Emma Pitman

"I had Insufficient Chill Funds when an older man at the pub harassed me, or offered my platonic male friend (assumed boyfriend/keeper) money for me. I had Zero Net Chill when his friend came to apologise to my male friend, offering him $50 as compensation, without so much as even looking at me. The exchange was a fully envisioned nightmare, an almost a comedic portrait of disrespect, with a gruesome lack of self-awareness."
