i still remember not posting my body and people assuming and calling me flat,i remember posting my body and getting told i belong to the streets,i remember not sending them stuff and getting callled a prude,i remember sending stuff when they’d pressure me and being called a slag
i remember getting lied to and manipulated and sexually harrassed and them making me stay quite, i remember once i started opening up and talking about things i consented to that i was a slut and whore by boys who didn’t know me, i remember the girls who claimed to be my friend-
spreading shit about me and rumours to make me look a certain way, when i loved them and would never do it back.i remember everyone watching me get harrassed at a party and say nothing,i remember consenting to something at a party and being unable to walk through my own school bc
the boys decided that was something to slut shame me for, after they told me to do it. i remember the boys who filmed and kept things and spread them without consent,i remember being 10 and wearing a scarf and still having a man violate me when i didnt know any better an the list
could go on and on.girls if you are reading this please please do not become a product of the patriarchy that exists to sexually exploit and oppress women.any boy who is reading this please please respect all women,regardless of if they are your sister or mother,they are someone.
i honestly never thought i’d open this much online about all the terrible things i’ve convinced myself is normal. it isnt normal for women to get criticised and shamed for every single thing they do while men get praised. it isnt normal to always feel scared that-
even someone who you can consider your friend can take advantage of you while no one speaks up. i still remember the boy saying ‘you let him touch you’ and wondering how he could ever see me crying and feeling uncomfortable as something i’d ever want, please believe someone when
they speak up because this is scary as shit but someone has to speak up, and please for the love of god can the boys who this include please not try and like it or whatever because you look like fucking idiots and i won’t forget a single one of you who have done this to me
and thats on sexual assualt awareness month, if you ever need to talk i am here for every single one of you and hope none of you have to go through any of these things,or have someone close to you experience them.once again i am begging boys to treat girls respectfully and think
of the impact of what they are doing might have on a girl, some things are difficult to forget and no amount of apologies can really ever make up for it. we need to make the world safer for girls but we have to speak up and raise awareness first, 81%. of women get assaulted
but no where near that amount speak up.if we don’t vocalise injustice how can we ever fight it. also i know a lot of girls on here are 16-19 making you 4x more likely to get harrassed and exploited, deep how fucked that is.FUCK THE STIGMA WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS BC I AM FED UP
