  • “My mistrust [of men] is not, as one might expect, primarily a result of the violent acts done on my body, nor the vicious humiliations done to my dignity. It is, instead, born of the multitude of mundane betrayals that mark my every relationship with a man—the casual rape joke, the use of a female slur, the careless demonization of the feminine in everyday conversation, the accusations of overreaction, the eye rolling and exasperated sighs in response to polite requests to please not use misogynist epithets in my presence.”

    This. This this this.

    Also, this + legislative actions that curtail my human rights and demean my worth as a human being. 

    But you know, no biggie right? Just get over it!

    I have wanted to say this for so long. thank you for giving me the words.

    (via lyrabelacqua)

    Agreed. Thank you for putting words to this.

    When I consider it, I have, to whatever degree that one can, let go of the violent acts done to my body. It was a long time ago, and with a lot of work I found my own peace.

    What I am not at peace with are “the multitude of mundane betrayals that mark my every relationship with a man.” My fucking gods, no, I am not at peace.

    Nor am I at peace with the way my country - its legislators, its so-called leaders - betrays me as a woman, as a mother, and as a human being.

    And every time one of these things takes place: the rape joke; some old white man deciding that he thinks he knows something about women’s bodies and how they should be regulated; the characterization of women as drama queens; the prolonged stares; etc., I am reminded of the physical violence and humiliations that I have suffered.
