My grandmother said, “A woman shouldn't be too independent because men don't like feeling unnecessary.” I asked her, “Why should a woman make herself smaller just to make a man feel bigger?” She said, “Because relationships require compromise.” I said, “Compromise is meeting halfway. Giving up your independence so someone else feels powerful isn't compromise.” My father then said, “But every man wants to feel needed.” I looked at him and said, “Then be the kind of man someone chooses even when she doesn't need you.” Nobody said anything after that. And honestly, I think that's the kind of standard more people should have.
So, if men can’t control themselves around women that are wearing revealing clothing, or women that get drunk and pass out at parties, or little teenaged girls…why are they allowed to control the world?
A conversation with a man:
Me: All men
Him: Not all men
Me: okay. You have a daughter, right? Would you be comfortable with her going to a party with a bunch of other girls, with no boys present?
Him: yes (without hesitation)
Me: cool. Would you be comfortable with her going to a party with a bunch of boys, with no girls present.
Him: no (without hesitation)
Me: why?
Him: Cause there will be at least 2-3 boys who are a problem.
Me: cool. So if those 2-3 boys do something horrible, will the other boys step in? Say something? Tell someone?
Him: (hesitates)....
Me: exactly. All men.
Accusing women of “sleeping their way to the top” is admitting that most men abuse their power for s*xual favors. They don’t wanna talk about that part though it doesn’t suit their patriarchal narrative.
i find it really fcked up when you have to ask men “what if she was your sister, daughter or mother” in order to make them see women as valuable human beings
Damn sex must be the dullest and most pedestrian reason for cheating. Sex? You cheated for some sex? That's it? You weren't looking for a great companion? You weren't looking to be spiritually and mentally nurtured? You weren't looking to be listened to? You just wanted sex? 🙄
I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
You think an immigrant at the ER is stealing your money?
Not the billionaires with 5 homes, 3 yachts, 2 private jets, and a golden toilet?
Congratulations. You’re living proof that propaganda works.
