Usually, I put out an article every week about the environment because I think it's important.
Well shit, do I have a rant for you guys this week.
So, someone referred to me as a "Woman Nazi" and a "Raging Woman Protector." Certainly, those do not have great connotations. No one likes a Nazi and when people think of raging women, it is usually a sexist jab at people on their menstrual cycles.
There was this guy, who referred to me to a friend in a sexual way, which I was not comfortable with. This guy also is disrespectful to women and I've seen it first hand. He asked me if I wanted to get on the list of girls that do his laundry during the week. He was kidding around, but the way it was said was not cool. Believe it or not, women are not here to domesticate. I can wash a dish but I can also throw a good punch.
I'd also like to add that he was trying to sexually pursue me and one of my best friends at the same time. This individual was sexually interested in me (only sexually) and I was not interested (neither was my friend). Now, he was so baffled by the idea of someone not wanting to get with him that he had to search for an excuse.
"Wow he was disrespectful and you DIDN'T want to make out with him?!"
Shocker right?
Newsflash: These women are not here for entertainment. The women you are charming into doing your bidding are PEOPLE. I've seen him use them until he no longer needs them and rids of a person like a piece of trash. In reality, he's the piece of trash.
I understand that a few bad apples in the bunch ruins the name of feminism, which is usually why I don't associate myself with such. But I believe in the true definition of the cause: that everyone should be equal and treated well.
In our world, it has unfortunately been synonymous with man-hating. Which I don't think is cool at all. You cannot say every man on the face of the earth is bad. I know plenty of men that have been victims in sexually uncomfortable situations. But, not all people give those situations the same severity or respect that they should. There's just a few assholes who make the rest seem bad.
I will identify with feminism in this case. I don't think it is right for anyone, girl, boy, other, to be made uncomfortable by the words or looks of another. I will not be treated as purely sexual conquest.
Become an adult and learn how to deal with rejection instead of using insults.
If you think for a second I won't stand up for myself and others who are being disrespected, you have never been more wrong. I have more moral fiber than to let someone retract another person into nothing.
This guy juts sees me as a pair of tits and an ass. But, I am a smart, educated, independent, strong, tough-ass woman who won't take that shit. And probably, with bigger balls, too.
If respecting myself makes me a "raging woman protector", then square up.
