Because when I was seventeen and I told a guy "no" and the next day the word "tease" was painted on my locker.

Because society screams "don't get raped" instead of "don't rape."
Because I am scared to walk alone at 10 pm.
Because being beautiful is the most important thing I'll ever do.

Because the song Blurred Lines exists.
Because no means no, no matter how you fucking spin it.
Because a girl was drugged with a beer bottle and raped, and the boys who did it are out on bail.
Because I owe you nothing.
Because pepper spray is a gift I receive yearly.
Because I'm asked if I have a boyfriend more than I am asked about my mental health.

Because I feel the need to say "I'm not a feminist but..."
