darthvatrix:auntiewanda:celtyradfem:radfemfrappe:thatfeministkilljoy:Stop teaching little boys that this shit is cute or okay. Men are not entitled to us, no matter how nice they are, no matter how long they’ve known us, no matter how “good” they might be. Teach little boys that, so they don’t grow up to be Nice Guys™ or even worse, the kind of man women are afraid to reject.This is so terrifying from the female perspective. Girls her age have no point of reference for how behaviour like this escalates. It’s really disappointing that no one stops to intervene. A girls coming of age story shouldn’t begin with a sexual assault. Why isn’t this boy being taught any boundaries?The girl is being set up for abuse.Why is no one looking out for her?Well every single movie he’s seen since he was a kid and will continue to see as an adult tells him he is the main character of life. If he likes a girl he’ll get the girl, even if the girl is disinterested or outright hostile at first all he has to do is be persistent. Because he’s great. And she’ll come around and he’ll get his prize that he deserves for being him. This is basically what men are told their whole lives from various aspects of society. It’s not cute.This seems to be another example of male socialization. This kind of indulgence, is what makes a % of men dangerous.And the girl is “a little dumb”?? -- source link
