Any man randomly contacting you for sex right now is threatening your life. They are essentially saying that they do not care if you live or die, they want to get off. I'd like to think men were different before the pandemic, but unfortunately I think this has always been them.
I'll be honest, this pandemic has made me realize how little men truly value my body. It's one thing to get these messages before this whole thing happened, it's a totally different thing now. Even worse because when I say no, the reaction is so negative.
I've long suspected that the men who contacted me for sex despite all of my profiles, starting with "NOT LOOKING FOR A HOOK UP" didn't respect my body, but that's so much louder now, given the circumstances.
I'll be honest, I'd like not to be bitter, but i'm coming out of this with a far less favorable view of men as a whole. The way men speak to me through this is all so ghastly. Maybe we're all inside and they're acting out, maybe this is just who they really are.
I'm constantly battling with being openly sex positive and recognizing that I can't trust men with that. That i cannot trust men to respect me even if I should be able to say that I actively enjoy sex.
I think a lot about the degree of consideration I've given people who hurt me and how that hasn't served me quite a bit in isolation. I'm kinda tired of saying "well they're not all that way" or being hopeful that men won't inherently disrespect my body. Nah, that's them.
That's just them. I see myself coming out of this being far more sexually modest in public. I know that won't stop them, but it will at least decrease them.
The fact that men are trying to fuck me right now and they get so upset when I advocate for my own health has me realizing so much about men.
Obviously not all men are this way, but tbh, fuck the space I give men. Fuck the grace I give men. I'd rather be over protective than open myself up just to see how little they respect my body.
Oh and just to make this gender equal, I suppose this also applies to women as well. I have to remind ya'll that I don't often say these things about women because I do not date them. Also, in my observation, women haven't been doing this, but I'm not gonna say they don't.
