tw// rape, sexual assault, etc.

so many people in the comments saying “y’all act like this doesn’t happen to men too”. STOP. yes, men can also experience paranoia from past experiences as well but ALL girls have had to wake up and smell the roses because so many of us have- 1/?
experienced attempts at rape, sexual assault, molestation, and EVERYTHING in between. god, it’s so sad to see how many of us have gone thru things like this. so, yeah sure it can happen to men, no denying that, but BECAUSE we’re women, BECAUSE we “show off our bodies, 2/?
BECAUSE we are “the embodiment of male temptation” we have to experience extreme paranoia and guard ourselves WHENEVER we go out? do you know how fucked up that is?? just because we’re women. because we’ve been oppressed for centuries. because men think we’re inferior 3/??
all because we are “below” them. and yeah, not all men karen, but ENOUGH men. too many men think this. there is so much fucking misogyny in this hell-damned earth its so sick. and don’t even TRY to come at me with “you’re just overreacting” ESPECIALLY if you’re a man. 4/?

questioned when they did nothing wrong? like, if she wore a crop top would that be more provocative and maybe that man would get a shorter sentence because other males sympathize with him? all because of what she wore? FUCKING CUT IT OUT. i hate it. even in school, 8/
girls are taught from a young age to not show their shoulders, don’t wear shorts too short, don’t wear shirts too tight. do you KNOW how many times i got called a slut for doing nothing when i was in MIDDLE SCHOOL? i never understood it. not even one bit. so don’t try to sit 9/
there and tell me “this happens to men too girls aren’t special” because you have no idea what we have been through. so shut UP. anyways this is why i am lesbian end of thread
