EVERS

To simplify my feelings:

Shinoa is whipped. She has a hard crush on him. Probably gonna end up with him. I give my condolences for us Mikayuu shippers. Its been a good run.

Also, Yuuichirou is dumb. And oblivious. But will still fall for her. They’re basically gonna be a Guren and Mahiru thing. Except probably less toxic.

And I haven’t seen enough of Mika nor Shinya. This ain’t it, chief. Where they at??? Well, we probably won’t see much of them since Kagami is focusing on this Yuunoa/GurenMahiru parallel thing.

You know, since this is all happening, I pray to God that at least Shinya and Mika end up happy. They’re both best friends to guys that’ll probably be with these girls and no one for them. Well, let’s get real, Shinya is most likely about to die. So I guess Mika is gonna be the only one left. Poor babe.

to go out at night, alone

to go you alone during the day, because nobody can protect me then

to go out during the day with others, because that doesn’t stop men from their entitlement and maybe I’m with my mother when a man stares me down from his car at the age of 14. his young son is in the back seat

to live on the first floor of an apartment

to be home alone with the windows open. the blinds will stay closed, just in case someone decides they like what they see (or maybe you’re out and an old man pressed his face to the window to stare at you. next week I will be afraid of windows)

to leave my drinks unattended, even if I’ve never step foot in a bar

to walk around in headphones, what if I don’t hear someone coming up on me?

to walk around without headphones, because I am terrified of what I don’t hear on the daily. the words I am ignorant to are 100% less likely to hurt me than the ones I hear, yet they are still 100% the reason I can hardly breathe when a man walks by me

to stand up to men

to look strangers in the eye

to catch the bus home by myself. what if someone follows me home? what if they memorise my stops? I vary my travel paths almost daily, just in case

to go to class because what if he’s there and what if he sees me or follows me or even waits outside

to express that I am a lesbian because I don’t want a man to think he can “change my mind” because my love for women can be seen as a challenge or a fetish when I am just trying to exist without the threat of death at the cause of who I love looming over my head

to wear what I want. the thin line between safety and assault lies in the 1cm hem of your skirt

to say ”no”, because two letters can cause acid attacks and gunshot wounds and in the worst case the word ‘no’ can be a direct link to a cold grave that does nothing but pave the way for the next. the girl laid to rest next to you made the same mistake

as a girl I am afraid to breathe because my very existence in this world means I am to be objectified and demeaned and intimidated every second of the day causes the thoughts that if I wasn’t alive maybe strange men wouldn’t look at me like that or say the things they do

I am terrified to talk back because sometimes they don’t like that and their car pulls over and you have to run, because your life might depend on it

I am afraid to come forward because even the cops sworn to protect don’t take you seriously and in a world where I can’t carry pepper spray at least I can rely on my intuition that has been saving my ass since I was 12- no 10 years old when those boys in the year below me did that one thing that meant it was time to grow up and smell the assault in the air

in every sense of the world, I am afraid of existing in this world as a girl

• Going out alone at night in general is scary and you shouldn't do it. Even for men its dangerous.

• Going out alone during the day shouldn't be a big deal as long as you're aware of your surroundings and have something to defend yourself with. You don't need to have someone there to protect you but its always better to have someone there.

• Staring in generally is rude. So is calling one whole gender entitled. I get that some men do it and so do women.

• That's an irrational fear.

• Being scared to have the windows open is reasonable. Not because of peeping toms but because there's criminals out here who'll steal anything they find worth it. That's what you and everyone else should be scared of.

• First off, I would never leave my drink unattended at bars. Who would? Not only will a man (or woman) spike it, someone can mistake it for theirs and drink it or maybe you crossed someone and they spit in your drink to spite you.

• First off, your irrational fear of men shouldn't be the reason you don't wear headphones. You need to always be aware of your surroundings. Anything could happen in this shitty world.

• Again, anything could happen. You're choosing one out of different scenarios to explain your fear of men.

• Standing up to a man? What the hell? I don't know what you've been through but, damn, it must've traumatized you. You should always stand up for yourself be it a man or woman. Him being a man is not an excuse. Because if he puts his hands on you, you call the police.

• Well, you might be introverted or socially awkward. Looking someone in the eye is a sign of respect. Or just be traumatized by a man.

• These what ifs are good questions but this is what happens when people watch too much Lifetime. Let me say, being alone in general is unnerving and you should always look out for yourself. You're only naming the few to fuel your reasons to be afraid.

• Then he can get transfered out of your classes and you can file a restraining order. You can legit sue the school for this type of stuff if they don't follow through.

• Its kinda vain to say that once any man finds out you're a lesbian, he'll automatically want to "change your mind". And some women have a fetish for gay men and see it as a challenge as well. Both genders do that shit. Being gay in general isn't all that accepted. Its not just women or lesbians being attacked for this.

• Wear what you want. No man or woman should be the reason you don't. And if they touch you, you spray them, taser them or shank them with anything in reach.

• Only a psychopath would do that. It happens to men too. Or are you saying just because one man would do that if you said no that all men will do it? Either way, its not a reason to not say no. Most people on this planet wouldn't harm you because of it.

• That's sad. You shouldn't feel that way because of these things you fill your head with. How'd you know if men are looking at you like that? Don't you think you're doing a lot of assuming? And if you can prove they're these creeps, why not call out for help? People will help you. And, no, just because you're a girl doesn't mean you're automatically objectified or demeaned. That's victimizing yourself. Hell, women are actually judged more by other women. And anyone can demean you, actually. Its just the individual, not the whole gender.

• What kinda horror films do you be watching? Again, only psychopaths would do that, which doesn't mean all men will do it. You're generalizing heavily. You're really reaching. Just speak up. If they do that, that's when you should worry about it (which most likely won't because men aren't these crazy demons who'd wanna bury a bitch over one small thing).

• Not going to the cops will only hurt you. You need to at least have it on record. And I refuse to believe a man is guilty until proven innocent. Evidence is crucial. That's what wrong with this world. Some woman, in America at least, wants to believe they're oppressed and some how, all men are these pigs who'll murder them. Which is not true. No, don't believe all women. Because some women are liars and vindictive. I don't want to live in a world where people can get thrown in jail with word alone.

• In every sense, you're projecting your fears onto men.

And, yeah, men should be afraid the metoo movement. It calls on a witch hunt and crucify any man just because a woman said so. Do we not remember the Salem Witch Trials? Its a reminder of how unsafe doing this is. Just as you're validated to fear for your life, so are they.
