I am so tired of the "women invite sexual harassment from men because of the way they dress" line.
Dogs may hump your leg because they don't know any better, but they can be trained not to. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that we shouldn't expect less of adult men than we do our household pets - the concept is not difficult. And when WOMEN lay the blame on other women? Oh man, that ticks me off.

@malice this line is so disrespectful to men
@amynowacoski LOL
Typical, first response is someone complaining that what I said is disrespectful to men as opposed to being concerned about women being sexually harassed and some women blaming other women for it. Yeah, my comment that even pets can learn better is the problem, here...
@malice wait, I don't think you get what I'm saying... the notion that women are responsible for covering up or dressing right means that men are uncontrollable animals and can't control themselves. Its gives them an easy out and a whole set of excuses to force power over women and makes women always responsible for mens behavior
@amynowacoski I feel like a lot of narratives are unintentionally damaging to their subjects by treating them as though they have no control over their own lives or behaviors. Reinforcing helplessness is never a good idea.
@malice exactly, men are not helpless victims of there all powerful and magnificent johnsons
@amynowacoski @malice who are these Johnsonโs of which you speak? I will destroy them an seize their followers as my own
@BlackMage @malice
Oh sorry, I was trying to be ladylike. I mean COCK
@malice yeah, see, you're not here, in my head, where there's an almost entire book written on the patriarchy with a whole chapter of how we infatalize men to keep them in power. So you know, I probably wasn't complete with my original comment Because I assume everyone can just read my thoughts. like duh and stuff.
