Many women feel the need to explain or justify themselves when they decline unwanted advances or invitations, mostly because men often do not respect the boundaries a woman creates when she says, “No.”

But “No.” is a complete sentence. You don’t owe anyone, especially men, an explanation. Knit this hat and keep it in your bag so the next time they try to give you hell, you can put it on, flip ‘em the bird, and keep on walking.
