it's wild how even the most progressive men who openly support women and women's issues will continue to joke about the horrors women have to consider every single day. it makes me feel very hopeless and defeated
to the dudes wondering how he was pushy or creepy - literally not a single woman in the world wants to be approached on the street by a random guy telling her she's beautiful. it's not a compliment. if you listened to women you'd know how afraid we are of all of you
I've never once felt controlled by a friend protecting me from a creep. I'm shy and have trauma from men abusing me and don't speak up out of fear of getting hurt. I love and appreciate every single friend who protects me, which they do out of love, not jealousy
it's literally breaking my heart so much that men REFUSE to listen to us when we beg y'all to stop approaching us like this, I'm being called slow and dumb and a whore literally for fearing men because y'all have shown us how quick y'all are to kill us for saying no
you could say those things, but it's risky when so many women get murdered just for rejecting a man. which is why we either have to be scary and unfriendly to hopefully ward them off or give them fake numbers so they don't stalk and kill us
and we are taught to be polite so that hopefully if we're nice they won't murder us... meanwhile our hearts are beating fast and we're wondering how we can get away from this guy or is he gonna kill me
