Men, I have a question for you, female to male.
What makes you think it is okay for any of you to wantonly harrass and rape us?
Every day I see it, I live it. Men everywhere approaching, talking to, standing close by and looking at women without our goddamn permission.
Why? Why do you do this? Is it that much fun for you to hurt us? Do you think you own us?
Women never hurt anyone, we try our goddamned best every single day to please absolutely everyone, all we ask in return is some basic fucking empathy.
Have the empathy, the kindness or even the sense of duty to do these small things for us, as we constantly live to consider your feelings:
- Keep your eyes pointed downwards, we did not ask you to look at us or in our direction.
- Keep your distance from us, we cannot tell which one of you is going to be another rapist, if you care at all about our mental well-being you will do what you can to stay far away.
- Do not, in any circumstance, talk to us without being spoken to first. If we do allow you to talk, please keep it to answers only. We spend our entire lives being told what to do by men, even though we never do the reverse.
- If a woman is standing anywhere near where you need to be, please just give up and find something else. Especially in supermarkets there's 'aisle-harrassment' where men think it is okay to get close to you only because they 'need' something from the aisle we're in.
These are just the basics, but I see men fucking this up all the time. Please mind these simple rules and help make the world a little more equal.
