“Shrinking Women” by Lily Myers

And I wonder if my lineage is one of women shrinking / making space for the entrance of men into their lives

Amazing poem.

"

What kind of world do we live in when young men are so proud of violating unconscious girls that they pass proof around to their friends? It’s the same kind of world in which being labeled a slut comes with such torturous social repercussions that suicide is preferable to enduring them. As a woman named Sara Erdmann so aptly tweeted to me, “I will never understand why it is more shameful to be raped than to be a rapist.”

And yet it is: so much so that young men seem to think there’s nothing wrong with—and maybe something hilarious about—sharing pictures of themselves raping young women. And why not? Their friends will defend them, as they did in Steubenville, tweeting that the young woman was “asking for it” and that the boys were being unfairly targeted.

Women and girls are the ones expected to carry the shame of the sexual crimes perpetrated against them. And that shame is a tremendous load to bear, because once you’re labeled a slut, empathy and compassion go out the window. The word is more than a slur—it’s a designation.

These people are walking GOATS down the street!

This was actually the best thing that has happened to me ever

"It’s so nice
to wake up in the morning
all alone
and not have to tell somebody
you love them
when you don’t love them
any more."

So this is the dress code of a local bar here in Ottawa called Liquor Store Party Bar and I was startled by how racist it was.

They are not even being discreet.

Here is a link

They are clearly creating a dichotomy between classy&respectable vs. what is not (Black Culture).
