How dare I call my self a feminist when there were so many moments where I kept my mouth shut. So many times when men in my family have said some pretty fucked up things and I just sat there and laughed not knowing what to do. How dare I call myself a feminist when I don't say anything when men in my family sexualize every woman, they see making comments on other women's body's and me just sitting there. I can't say I'm in shock because I know it's coming. I am scared of the men in my family I don't like how they act around different women I wish I had the courage to say something. But these men have power over me they are able to make me sit in complete silence and not complain. I am scared of these men and what they will do to me. But I'm trying to be a feminist fuck that I am a feminist I am just one who's still trying to find her voice.
