Instead of teaching girls to cover themselves up in public, why don’t people just teach men how to respect women instead? I hate how they would always defend that “prevention is the better solution”.

The thing is that, you can still get harassed even though you’re covered from head to toe. The problem isn’t the victim’s clothing, it’s the lack of decency of sexual harassers.

Exactly! Though it’s not just in the parents, but also the society they are in… which can be controlled by the parents too lemaw.

I really resolved to the thinking that I shouldn’t blame the parents because the society they are in exists too, but, bro I just can’t… like whichever path I choose to go, I’ll always end up with the parents.

I agree. I absolutely loveeee expressing myself through my clothes. What I wear shows my personality, I have a bunch of cute clothes, but sometimes I get so afraid to wear it because I noticed that when I do wear it, old men stare at my butt, they check me out, and make me really uncomfortable, so sometimes when I go somewhere I cover up—

But it’s never about clothes, it’s about the person. Because if clothes were the problem, (trigger warning) then why do pedophiles sexualize little kids?

yes! its not the victims fault, no matter what they were wearing. Its the predator who should go and learn how wrong it is

Its high time to end blaming women for what happens to them. Why can’t the men be taught how to be decent enough not to touch someone without their consent?

Another thing that I extremely loathe are cat-callers. This is why I hate walking alone on places where there are a group of men hanging around, particularly near constructions sites.

I don’t take the words “beautiful”, “pretty”, and “cutie” as a compliment in this case. The way they say it makes me feel violated.

Due to personal experiences, I never wear shorts, no matter how hot it is :unamused: some people need some serious reorientation on what’s right and what’s wrong

do you know sometimes the women are actually told that they didn’t really resist the man, so it’s not rape? honestly smh

YESYES :sob: I was walking in public in a really cute outfit and got catcalled so many times… I was only 16 and all the men looked 30+. It made me so uncomfortable so if I were do go downtown to the city I cover up or try to make sure I don’t look “extra” or too out there :sob: it’s so hypocritical of me because I always preach not to care about what other people do or think, but it’s just the way parents don’t teach their kids—

STORY TIME

I was waiting at a bus stop and all of a sudden these two guys in a car roll down their window and are like “You’re kinda cute”. I wanted to run over there and key their car :slightly_smiling_face::upside_down_face::upside_down_face::upside_down_face:
