We expected these results, but that doesn’t make them any less disgusting. Living in a country that is fueled by racism and hate is exhausting. You lot would literally sacrifice a better life just because, deep down, you’re all incredibly racist.
i feel so guilty for being able to live normally while being aware of the fact that there's people dying to exist. there's literal people who are being killed for nothing.
My coworker used to take the long way home every night. Two extra bus stops, more walking, more money, more time. One day I asked her why she didn’t just take the shortcut alley behind our building.
She laughed and said, “Oh, because a guy followed me there once and told me he could ‘do whatever he wanted’ and no one would hear me scream.”
So now, every night, she calls a male friend and pretends she’s on the phone with her “boyfriend.” Sometimes she even laughs loudly and says things like, “Yeah, I’ll see you in five minutes, babe,” even when she’s completely alone.
Not because she wants attention.
Not because she’s dramatic.
Because sounding “taken” and “protected” is safer than sounding like a woman by herself.
Men cannot even begin to understand the calculations women make every day just to get home alive.
