I wish women weren’t so sexualized. They’re unique, interesting, emotion-having human beings. Not objects of interest. Not a one-note, hive-mind of bodies made only for the pleasure of men.
If you’re a woman—trans, straight, cisgender, lesbian, doesn’t matter—my advice to you: raise your standards. Don’t let people, platonically or romantically, walk over you. Stand your ground, know your worth, and teach the men in your life to be respectful and empathetic. Correct your coworkers, call out strangers, stand up for fellow women, and teach your children to be better.
Also I love and appreciate you
