i’m sorry for people who don’t like cats because they’ll never know what it feels like to call your cat from the bedroom and listening to it meowing as it runs across the apartment to you
My sister lives alone in an apartment near her university. She takes the long way home every night. Once, a man followed her through the shortcut alley and told her no one would come to save her.
She keeps her keys between her fingers when she walks.
Unlocks her car from a distance. Locks the doors immediately.
She runs without headphones so she can hear footsteps.
In parking garages, she checks reflections and the back seat before getting in.
She shares ride details every time she takes a taxi. She usually shares a ride cause being alone feels like a risk.
She lies about where she lives. Never posts her location in real time.
Delivery drivers don’t get her real name. A light stays on when she gets home late. By her door sits a pair of men’s sneakers that don’t belong to anyone. This is the WORLD we are living in where a woman have to go above and beyond to just SURVIVE! Don't try to tell me men have it easier than women.
I'm going to piss some men off with this, but the reason a lot of your parents and grandparents stayed married so long is because the women in those generations were financially trapped. When a woman makes her own money, the only thing a man can truly offer her is how he treats her.
That's why there's a male loneliness epidemic.
“Not all men”
Just 80 men in a small region of France who chose to rape Gisele Pelicot.
Just 70,000 men in a Telegram group rape chat discussing how to drug and rape their own moms, sisters and wives.
Just these men having a “pro rape meet up”.
