most of the time when someone says “if the roles were reversed” it means they’re about to strip the situation of relevant context for the sake of their argument and you should disregard what they’re saying
Sometimes I sit with the reality of how unkind this world is to women, and it breaks my heart.
It is one thing for the world to fail women.
It is another thing entirely for people to organise cruelty against women and give it a cultural name.
That is barbarity!
That is evil!
All these men will disperse after this and integrate themselves back to polite society, and tomorrow someone will say women are being irrational in their fear.
Every day it’s don’t wear A, don’t do B, don’t say C, meanwhile nobody is telling men to just be DECENT HUMAN BEINGS. Like why cant you all just be fucking normal.
The men sitting and recording these acts feel like they’re better because they aren’t joining in, but you did NOTHING to help that woman you’re recording. You are a disgusting person and you’re just as bad.
And I need y’all to note that this isn’t just lyrics but a form of male socialization where violence against women is normalized. One listen is enough to convince boys that women’s lives don’t matter. This is rape culture
The whole―
“I wrote you letters”
“what letter” is actually the most violent plot twist known to mankind. because wdym character A poured their hearts into letters which character B NEVER received???? emotional terrorism.
i always say this and men will try to act like i’m being extreme. please get fucking serious. do you know how intentional this shit is? stalking her, cutting her, and STILL texting her to laugh in her face about her not being able to get justice?? in fact, we’re not angry enough
