seems a bit heavy to make this my first tweet, but fuck it,, in a group chat of me and some of my female friends (about 10 people), pm every single person shared an experience that happened to them relating to sexual harassment. whether this is finding their social media and-
sending fucking CREEPY AS SHIT messages, or taking action in real life to make girls feel uncomfortable or like they are somehow an object, everyone had an experience to share. this is disgusting. it’s ridiculous. in an ideal world, none of us would have been able to share-
any experience of this kind, because it SHOULDNT HAPPEN. however, around 10 people, in this group chat ALONE gave an experience which made them feel uncomfortable, or victimised. It isn’t just something women make up for sympathy. it is something that happens every single day-
in schools, in the street, in bars and clubs, on the internet, in families, everywhere. it isn’t a rumour, or a myth made up by the female population. it’s facts.
Something we have all heard people say before: “it isn’t all men. only the bad ones”. shut. the fuck. up-
OF COURSE it’s not all men. we aren’t that stupid. of course there are those who support women, who wouldn’t do these things because they are inherently good people. but have you heard the number of accounts women have to offer?? have you heard how many boys have been mentioned?-
we don’t “hate all men”. i have several friends who are boys. but honestly, with the amount of accounts i have heard of this kind, it is probably sensible to assume that a man has bad intentions until proven wrong. unfortunately, assuming that men only have good intentions-
is one of the things that puts women in these places in the first place. that as well as, wHaT tHeY aRe WeArInG, hOw ThEy AcT, and whatever else it is that screams TARGET to a man. it’s silly that this still has to be explained to people, but incase you are still completely-
naive to what women go through: please know that it does happen. it does make women feel scared, and alone and uncomfortable and it is fucking weird. a women’s clothing isn’t an invite to touch her up. if she is being polite, it’s not an invite to send her messages about-
what you would like to do with her and her body. it’s not all men, but until it’s hardly any men at all, i don’t think anyone has the right to make a girl feel like it isn’t a significant issue.
