Revolutionary Idea Of The Day:

Men could be held responsible for controlling their own sexual urges.

You know, instead of the girl who showed some cleavage. Or the girl who didn’t wear her hijab “right”. Or the girl that got drunk. Or the girl who changed her mind about having sex. Or the girl that wore booty shorts. Or the girl that wore red lipstick. Or the girl who accepted a drink. Or the girl who walked home alone.

Basically, instead of any girl having to hold that responsibility for him.

It’s actually insulting to men to assume they are such savage barbarians that they can’t even practice some self control, integrity, respect, or any kind of virtue.

This has literally been a reblogged everywhere. And, while I understand you can’t expect changes over night, and that changes such like these might be hard to implement, I just want to say.

We do spend a lot of time focusing on women’s safety. And that’s good. But making the woman feel like she, alone, is responsible for what happens to her is a lot to handle. It implies that if or when something of this nature does happen to her, she didn’t do enough, and she deserves it. And, that just can’t be true. When you suddenly fail at protecting yourself, it’s embarrassing to come forward and let anyone know it happened.

I think if we took more time to let men know that they are accountable would be beneficial. No woman wakes up every day expecting to be taken advantage of. They don’t know, that somewhere down the road in her life, this is going to be forced upon her. But the men. The men will know how far they’re willing to go to get what they want. In a minute’s time, the men know what they’re capable of. I don’t want men to get away with things because they play dumb. I don’t want men to get looked over because they seem innocent, or genuine, or charming, or trustworthy.

And, I don’t care what anyone says. The girl that flirts. The girl that gets drunk and enjoys herself. The girl that feels good about herself in what she’s wearing. So many times I hear, “That girl is asking for it.” Well, excuse me, but I have never heard a woman ever ask to be taken advantage of or sexually abused. I don’t recall ever asking for it when I flash a smile. I don’t recall ever asking for it when I decide this tank top or dress looks good on me. I don’t recall ever asking for it when I’m drunk, but I still say no. Drunken no’s do not translate into sober yes’s. No is no is no.

This was a rant that was probably poorly organized, but, this is me quite literally not giving a fuck.
