“If You Know Someone Who Doesn’t Believe Sexism Exists, Show Them This”
Link here: [x]This is important and it should have millions of more reblogs.
When people ask why this is such a big deal, this is why.
Because people are quiet about their experiences of sexual harassment, of rape, of everyday sexism, because they’re treated with abuse for speaking out about it, it becomes normal and predators are felt more welcome. They feel like this is normal and this is okay.
By speaking out about it, it makes the predators feel ashamed, it makes someone think twice about making someone feel like they are a sexual object. There is so much power in words. And if we speak up about this, others will speak too. And united, we are more powerful than ever.
It’s not just women. Men have it happen too, and they don’t speak up. They feel like they’ll be laughed at or it’s too uncommon to bother people about it. But no matter who it happens to, it’s not okay.
It is NEVER your fault, not even partially. The person at fault is the rapist, the cat-caller, the creepy man on the Subway feeling you up. And if they aren’t given the blame…then why isn’t it okay for them to continue? They will continue if they feel justified in their actions. And blaming the victim, even in the most minute way, gives the predator that power. Don’t be the one to hand it to them. Fight back. Stand united with your fellow person and make the world stronger.
