Former Harvard Sex Blogger: My Ex-Boyfriend Leaking Nude Pictures of Me Changed Who I Am—Forever
THIS:
"...to be honest, I don’t want to be on TV explaining why young men today can be driven by romantic rejection to kill, why women are afraid to use the Internet, why I no longer feel safe in America. What happened to me was not an occupational hazard of feminism. It’s an occupational hazard of being a woman. Men’s bodies are not used as weapons against them, and shame is a language that women have learned from birth. We are told that sex is something that can hurt us, that we have to constantly be on the defensive lest we attract negative attention. If we are criticized or attacked, we are asked what we did to deserve it."
This is a huge reason I don't want to even discuss feminism or women's issues at all any longer. The only people that argue how hard it is to be female in this world are men, and none of them think it's hard at all. Or if it is, it's not their fault...enter #notallmen...no one actually wants to be empathetic, and until more people do, this world isn't going to change.
