"This idea of being like, low maintenance. About being chill. About like, being cool with anything, not standing up for yourself. I mean, I think that we've instilled that in young women just...to make lives easier for the men who want to treat them horribly."

Women – Love each other, support each other, defend each other. It comes at a greater cost to you to attack the women around you than it does to empower them.

I was warned by several dudes to modify my behavior and be careful of leading men on. If I could go back in time I’d have laughed in their pathetic horny faces and waltzed off.

We have come to understand the world as a ‘Man’s space’ and that we women are merely traveling through that space, and although not all people feel this way, it is evidenced in catcalls, street harassment and the constant pursuit of women by strange men.

My answer is this: My body, my agency, & my sexuality are not invitations; they are vessels which I am entitled to use at my discretion. I don’t need an excuse.
