i hate men. i hate being scared whether or not i’ll get raped if i leave my house. i hate having to be extremely cautious whenever i go for a walk. i hate the fact women are educated on what to do if a man tries to harass you or attack you. i hate that i can’t go out in public dressed confidently without men trying to hit on me. i hate that i’m the one who has to cover up my shoulders so that boys don’t get “distracted” when they really need to learn how to keep it in their pants. i hate that i can’t go anywhere by myself because i’m more likely to get kidnapped or harassed on my own. i hate that i have to live my life in fear, catering to men’s dislikes so i don’t become a target. i want to express myself and go where i want without wondering, “will today be the day where i get harassed or catcalled or raped?”
