another half fleshed out 2:30am thought: i think it’s bad that we are teaching women and girls to be fearful of literally everything. it’s absolutely true that there are dangerous things and people out there and folks who are perceived as women are at higher risk for those things. but i just saw a girl make a video on tik tok freaking out because some drunk guy fell asleep in her apartment hallway near her door and has convinced herself that he’s stalking her. if that’s actually what happened, that’s awful. but what it sounds like is a guy passed out drunk in the hallway and because society has absolutely fried womens’ nerves when it comes to safety she has come to the conclusion that she’s clearly personally in danger. this isn’t healthy. this isn’t a way to live. we have to find a happy medium between acknowledging systemic misogyny and making women and people perceived as women terrified of literally just existing.

Anyone else getting really fucking sick of this support:condemn dichotomy where folks online act like the only two possible responses to anything ever are to wholeheartedly support it or wholeheartedly condemn it?

"Oh you said that you dont think that random stranger should be sent full on death threats and doxxed for their iffy artwork? Why do you support racism" how about we all go outside and interact with real people and see how they react when you say things like that!
