I am tired of being told that “a key that unlocks many locks is a good key, but that a lock that can be unlocked by many keys is a bad lock”. I am tired of the fact that nobody who says this has ever been able to tell me what it is that needs to be locked up. I am tired of being told “your boobs are awesome, you should show them of “. I am tired of being told that “that looks a little slutty”. I am tired of being told that I shouldn’t be a prude, but I shouldn’t be slutty. I am tired of that nobody seems to be able to explain how to do so. I am tired of being told that I can just say no, and I am tired of being told “come on, you know you want to”. I am tired of being told “But we HAVE equality!
I don’t want to be a feminist anymore.

Rape is not aggressive sexuality, it is sexualized aggression.

Slut-shaming enforces a sexual double standard in which boys can engage in sexual behavior freely, whereas girls can only do it when it’s part of transaction that includes ‘true’ love or marriage - it’s illogical and confusing to a girl who’s been told she can do anything a boy can do for her whole life until that point.

About

Spread the word! Reblog us, retweet us, and tell your friends, families, classmates, and coworkers!
