blackladyjeanvaljean:rarestandfairest:shayera-librarian:feminspire:situpsandfruitcups:I wore this shirt to the bar last night. I received noticeably more distasteful looks from women than I did from men. One woman went as far as to make eye contact with me and shake her head disapprovingly. And for a brief moment I sat on my bar stool and felt embarrassed, like I had made a mistake by announcing I’m just as good or bad as any man here. I had broken the unspoken rule and people were noticing. While drinking my scotch and feeling mildly insecure, it hit me in the heart. I was embarrassed for walking into a room wearing a shirt that establishes ‘I believe women* deserve equality and I fight for them’. There is NOTHING in this statement to be ashamed of. Upon this affirmation, I suffocated my self-doubt and my evening was reborn. I complimented the head shaking woman on my way out of the bar and a look of genuine flattery with a hint of guilt washed over her face. Spread love, compassion and the concept of ‘no lesser person’ to all. And fight the fucking patriarchy every chance givenBeautiful and well done. *applause* I want to be her friend. Hey looks it’s the post that got me disembowlment, death and rape threats. An anti-feminist blogger publish my home address. 4chan shared this post and attacked my blog. Someone sent my boss a link to this. I shut down a 20k blog out of fear that someone would comb through it and find more details on me I thoughtlessly posted. Sharing this experience two years ago introduced me to some wonderful women but also validated how scary the internet can be, how nasty threatened men can be, and how badly we still need feminism. Stay safe and stay smart on the internet!all that because she wore a shirt smh Where can I get this shirt -- source link
