most of you know that i don’t consider myself a feminist but a humanist, and that i fucking hate jezebel and xojane and all that crap that acts like it’s feminist but they mostly condemn other women for not being the kind of feminists that suits their expectations. but whatever, that’s not my point. my point is that i am generally just considered with equality in general.
BUT: if you think that women don’t experience sexism every day, you live the kind of ignorant bliss for which i long. like people of color encounter racism every day. women encounter sexism every. day.
whatever your thoughts on domestic violence, income equality, harassment, and whatever other topic you have made your final decision that cannot be wavered by facts or logic or horror: you must at least acknowledge that women encounter sexism – maybe not on your terms, but on theirs – every day, and to ignore it is more dangerous to women than ted bundy.
i’m not asking anyone to change their mind, because people don’t like to do that. but i’m a truthteller, and that means i will try to give a voice to people who’d rather not. so, every man in the world: this is what every woman in your life would want you to know.
every. day.
