tw // rape

since tomorrow is april 24th, 1) i want men to think about and understand why women are so scared for tomorrow. i want you not only to not participate, but to educate and stand up to other men around you, whether they’re serious or say they’re joking.(more in replies)

2) i want women to know that you’re not alone and that there are those around you willing to be there. there’s always someone to talk to (my dms are open). so to anyone that identifies as a woman/anyone that’s affected by this “holiday”, i’m sorry i have to say this, (cont.)

but please be careful tomorrow. stay inside if you can, but if you’re not able to, make sure to carry a weapon of some sort and learn some self defense basics. it’s sad that we have to tell women to defend ourselves but for now, it’s necessary.
