I was told yesterday that if I don’t want to be sexually harassed in public, I shouldn’t wear shorts, even in the summer.

Needless to say, I was angry and argued my point.

Some points for all the mansplainers out there:

1.WOMEN DO NOT ‘ASK’ TO BE SEXUALLY HARASSED IN PUBLIC.THIS IS VICTIM BLAMING.

2.SOCIETY NORMALISES AND ENCOURAGES SEXUAL HARASSMENT AGAINST WOMEN WITH MYTHS INCLUDING ’ YOU’RE BEING COMPLIMENTED’ AND ‘IT’S JUST WHAT MEN DO’.

3.WOMEN ARE SEXUALLY HARASSED BECAUSE SOCIETY AND THE MEDIA PERPETUATE THE NOTION THAT WE EXIST TO LOOK GOOD FOR MEN AND SHOULD BE SEXUALLY AVAILABLE TO THEM. (Just look at some mainstream porn, most Hollywood movies, Lad’s Mags, the music industry, television shows, etc and you’ll know what we mean)

4. CLOTHES DON’T CAUSE SEXUAL HARASSMENT; DISRESPECT FOR WOMEN AND OTHER REPRESSED GROUPS DOES.

5.WOMEN WHO COMPLETELY COVER THEMSELVES ARE STILL SEXUALLY HARASSED

6. SEXUAL HARASSMENT IS FRIGHTENING FOR THE WOMAN BEING HARASSED BECAUSE IT CAN SOMETIMES LEAD TO RAPE AND/OR STALKING. 

7.AND PLEASE STOP ERASING MY EXPERIENCES AS A WOMAN BECAUSE OF YOUR MALE PRIVILEGE!

All those who blame women for sexual harassment: Read this and please educate yourselves.
