all that glitters

OMFG you guys

I’m feeling extra stabby today and I’m sleep deprived so I’m going to rant.

I was NOT saying in the previous post that no woman ever dresses for attention ever. People dress for ALL SORTS OF REASONS. OBVIOUSLY there are times when a woman shows off her tetas because she wants attention. No shit. 

I WAS saying that it’s bullshit to assume the only reason a woman would dress in a certain way is because she “wants the attention” or is “asking for it.” It’s also bullshit to invalidate women who complain about the attention, because sometimes that attention turns into UNWANTED HARASSMENT. There’s a difference between looking/noticing and between creating a hostile environment in the public sphere. There’s a difference between checking a girl out and trying to fuck with her and there are a lot of people out there who DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT LINE. 

Maybe I’m sensitive because I was followed home two weeks ago by a guy who said “BUT LOOK WHAT YOU’RE WEARING!” but I do not want to have to make my outfit choices because some fucking STRANGER ON THE STREET is going to think I’m dressing “just for him.” NO.

Ugh, maybe it’s the sleep deprivation talking, but I hate everything and it really bothers me that people on Tumblr are buying into some sexist-ass assumptions about women’s decisions and motivations. Hate hate hate.
