Ok so we know about pretty privilege but can we talk about Ugly Privilege? 😅

I’ve been solo travelling for the last 3 months and while I’m travelling I’m in comfy clothes, have my hair tied back in a messy bun (usually hasn’t been washed in daaaaays) and I don’t wear make up. I very much go unnoticed. And omg is it amazing when you’re a solo female traveller! I don’t get hassled as much/don’t get stared at (except in India but classic lol) and generally get left alone which is a privilege in itself. Now that’s not to say I think of myself as ugly but I haven’t been attracting the male gaze while I’m in my traveller aesthetic and it’s felt FREEING.

Anyone else relate? 😂

Edit: This post is not intended to perpetuate victim blaming at all - harassment is the fault of the harasser and not what those on the receiving end are doing/wearing etc. This is a personal experience I’ve noticed about day to day interactions while travelling.
