I am a woman, not a first-prize trophy, not a piece of meat or prey for you to catch. I wasn’t born into this world for your satisfaction or your enjoyment. I will not be belittled, hushed, called sweetheart, or talked over. I will not stand by and watch while my sisters get abused, *****, murdered, and thrown away like a piece of chewed-up chewing gum. “Men get ***** too you know!” If that’s your first thought when I said that then you’re the problem here too. “Men get abused too” if you say that only to minimize the issue women have with abuse then you’re both stupid and a coward. They say her skirt was too short, she was too drunk, she was flirting, and never how he ***** her. As if the amount of skin I show is the amount of infliction I deserve.
