Since we all came from a women, got our name from a women, and our game from a women. I wonder why we take from women, why we rape our women, do we hate our women? I think its time we killed for our women, be real to our women, try to heal our women, cus if we dont we’ll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies, who make the babies. And since a man can’t make one he has no right to tell a women when and where to create one

I like when people make points about feminism. When they really just promote the point that it’s fucking stupid for a woman to have to ask to be treated like an equal. It should be about people treating every other human being with respect. But unfortunately, we’re not totally at that point in our…
People don't seem to have realized that there's a difference between sexualization and objectification
I can sexualize myself and portray myself as sexual without objectifying myself. I can be as sexual as I want and still command respect.
Sexual person ≠ sexual object.
Owning your sexuality is far from objectifying yourself.

So this just happened to me.
I was walking back to my building from the library. It was 9:15ish, so it was dark outside, but I was on the main sidewalk on McKinley, which is well-lit. I was pretty close to being back, when I saw these four guys walking towards me.
I was wearing a tank top, so…
“Many men who harass women say their intent is to compliment them, but why do they usually not “compliment” women who are accompanied by other men and often only do it when a woman is alone? Why do they tend to object to other men “complimenting” their female significant other (if applicable), female friends, or female family members? Why do some men grow hostile and violent when women do not thank them and act flattered? Why do they feel compelled to compliment women at all? Rarely are they expecting a date. Many times they do not even wait to see a woman’s reaction as they fly by in their car or as they turn to start harassing the next woman. They are doing it to exert their power, to entertain their friends, to relieve boredom, or do demonstrate that they can evaluate a complete stranger to her face, just because she is a woman.”

Stop Street Harassment: Holly Kearl (via completelymoribund)
The thing that so many men need to understand is that women do not consider it a compliment when they are being harassed on the street. Women usually feel either embarrassed or terrified or a combination of the two. So stop fucking doing it.

it’s so telling that men tend to do this when they’re in a group of other men. and i’ve never had it happen when i’m hanging out with dudes, especially not when i’m with my ginormous dad (most men don’t give a fuck about harassing me if i’m with my mom who is as small as i am). so if it isn’t sexual, or threatening, and you just want to ~make me smile~ then why can you only do it when i’m perceived as vulnerable?

I would add that it rarely happens or when I am around men who know that I am dating someone at that time. Many men (certainly not all) are willing to lay off if they perceive that you are “owned” - otherwise, you’re public property, and they’re free to treat you however they like. Any competition that erupts is less to flatter the woman than to establish temporary rights to her, even if they must degrade her to do so.

that or the nature of the so-called compliments will change if youre w a man. they will go from a respectful “you look beautiful this evening” when youre w a dude to some vulgar shit about your pussy, if youre alone. because youre not worthy of respect as just a woman.

the thought that all the liquor/wine/pizza/orgasms/donuts/ puppies/hallucinogens/greatesthits/ Reese's/compliments/goodhairdays/ newnailpolish/money/temporary fixes don't truly make you feel any better is probably the reason people kill themselves.

just sayin’. it’s one thing to be patient, it’s another thing to be in pain. luckily, I have an Rx for both, as well as the temporary.
