We Matter Too (ON HOLD)

Part 1

Question: why do you think that men are favoured in society?

Answers:

1) "Because in this culture when a man says 'no' it's the end of the discussion but when a woman says 'no' it's the beginning of a negotiation"

2) "Because I was taught to yell 'fire' instead of 'rape' because it increases the chances of someone coming to help"

3) "Because having opinions, even when wholly grounded in logic, leads to being 'difficult' and 'emotional'"

4) "Because 'boys will be boys' has become a global excuse for men, as if men can't and shouldn't take responsibility for their actions"

5) "Because every time I become emotional or passionate about something I'm on my period"

6) "Because 'I have a boyfriend' is the easiest way to get a guy to leave you alone because he respects another man more than you"

7) "Because when girls go to college they are buying pepper spray and rape whistles whereas boys are buying condoms"

8) "Because people see a pretty girl and assume she's stupid"

9) "Because I've been taught self-defence my whole life but have never heard a parent teach their son not to objectify women"

10) "Because people think of this as a personal or female problem instead of a universal human issue"

11) "Because what men fear most about going to prison is what women fear most about walking down the sidewalk"

12) "Because 'slut' is attacking women for their right to say yes. 'Friend zone' is attacking women for their right to say no and 'bitch' is attacking women for their right to call you on it.

13) "Because a boy can squeeze my butt in public and get away with it"

Author's note: this is the first part of my somewhat book, I guess.

Feel free to add your own answers and you can also share stories.

Stay safe.
