Raising boys who respect women isn’t enough.
Raise boys willing to lose male friendships over the way their friends treat women.
A man's principles mean very little if they disappear the moment enforcing them might cost him his place with the boys.
Raising boys who won't commit sexual assault is NOT enough. Raise them to be the man in the group chat who texts back: NO, stop this, and I'm calling the cops.
Was in the candy aisle at dollar tree yesterday and a guy bumped into me and said "I'm sorry, I'm trying to find my old people candy" and I was like, "I saw werther's down there on the end" and he was like "damn, I'm not THAT old! I'm looking for York peppermint patties"
accepting that I am a greedy demanding brat has liberated me so much in love. like, I respect your effort, and yet, I am not satisfied. I am left wanting. I want more.
and there’s no shame in that 🥰
A man followed me home once. I file a police report, but they couldn’t do anything . 2 hrs later the guy I was dealing with calls me on 3-way with the man, told him he had his work info, wife’s #, criminal record & address and if I saw him again to call him instead of the police.
