Salute » Harry Styles

Putting An End To The Rude Comments

I'm sorry if any of you thought this was an update but unfortunately it's not. I would just like to discuss a matter that has been happening for a while now but I never bothered to address it.

So I have received several comments (which I deleted) about people calling me rude and disrespectful names just because I'm a feminist and Salute speaks about women empowerment and rights.

This one girl (who shall not be named) decided to think it was okay to comment (and I quote:) "This story is shit. Women don't need empowerment. Everything was fine until you made this story. The plot is fucking horrible and shipping Little Mix with One Direction is disgusting. Women need men, if you haven't noticed so you're stupid for writing this. You obviously don't support love and think women should be alone."

Excuse me? I'm stupid for writing a story that is about a woman who is done being treated like shit and fights for her rights? A feminist is someone who believes in the EQUALITY of the sexes, not that women should overpower everyone.

Like, I don't care if someone doesn't like my plot. I mean, we all have different perspectives and tastes. But the fact that she says that women need men is bullshit. Not everyone out there wants to have a reliable spouse or man beside them to support them. There are plenty of adults who are single out there who are fine with being single. Yes, men allow the human race to keep multiplying and I never said that I HATE men. And I do support love. I'M FUCKING MARRIED IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED. I never stated I wanted women alone. There are women who want to be alone and women out there who want to be with someone.

I wrote this story because I am a hardcore feminist till the end and I have no shame in saying that. I am a feminist so that I can reply to people like that girl who decided to comment on this story. I find it stupid when some girls say that they aren't feminists but they're sick of being treated poorly because of their gender. Like, that's a feminist, babe!

And I added Little Mix because of their empowering song, Salute (and because I love them to the end). I don't expect everyone to ship Harry & Jade, Liam & Jesy, Louis & Eleanor, Zayn & Perrie and Niall & Leigh-Anne. Like, the only people I don't ship are Liam and Jesy, and I'm the fucking author of this book!

I have been receiving other comments such as the one I stated before and I am done with it. I don't care if you hate my plot but if you criticise women or feminists in general then leave because I will not deal with inconsiderate bastards who believe that they can say whatever the fuck they want because it's their "opinion". If you didn't know, hun, there is a fine line between an opinion and being rude and disrespectful. And those people who commented have crossed that line so fucking far.

Some of you may think I am overreacting but I will fight for equality until the end. I feel strong for matters such as this. Especially if anyone offends my idols.

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all.

And if I see another comment such as the one of stated before, the comment will be deleted and if it is that bad, I will block and report the user.

(Sorry for sounding mean and horrible, this was just bothering me a lot!)

On the brighter side, I will be updating Salute either today or tomorrow, I PROMISE!

Luff U ALL!
