(40,656 posts)we speak. We are being killed because we won't sleep with men, when we do we are sluts, etc. The thread of the women on twitter is NEEDED. Everyone ESPECIALLY MEN have to LISTEN.
Do you men ever consider, men, every time you go somewhere that the chance of getting raped is pretty good? Do you worry when you go out that what you wear could get you raped, that the darkness might hide a predator, that you check your location for danger? How many times when you leave your house to go somewhere are you doing this? When you got to the grocery store at night do you feel fear of the dark when you come out alone?
When was the last time you left somewhere and worried about being raped? Shot by a silly assed entitlement guy? Worried about your drink at a party? I could go on. Read it. Listen to it. This is our reality too often. Sure. Not all men do this but enough of them do to change our lives and behavior and even our expectations forever. I am old. I remember when it wasn't so. I could leave my door unlocked all the time.
Not now. LISTEN! LISTEN!LISTEN!LISTEN!
