202. thank you for taking it to personal. cause it is not like men do not regularly take it to personal

Dec 2013

here on du.

maybe it is the opposite. maybe i have always surrounded myself with decent men. maybe that is why i so clearly recognize the creeps, sexists, is cause all my life i have been around good men.

forget actually thinking about how men are conditioned to seeing woman as a thing. women are not conditioned all their life to see men as a thing.

forget the fact that for a couple decades we women experience this.

it must be because i am jaded. ya. that makes sense

and in india, the people that made the psa are simply jaded. ya, there is the ticket.

and all the women on this thread are only jaded.

see

now, you are free to continue an obnoxious behavior interfering with a womans right to walk in your space without your perusal of her value, for you, without thought or concern.

jaded? man hater?
