how dare they

how dare boys tell my gender that sexism doesn't exist they say it so flippantly but they don't know how could they know? they don't have people telling you how you're suppose to look wear makeup pluck this shave that wear this top look sexy but not slutty boys can rape you and you'll still be blamed for it “she shouldn't have been running in the dark” “she shouldn't have been wearing such a short skirt” “she shouldn't have been drinking” how about- he shouldn't have raped her? you leave the house in a pair of shorts because it's hot and you like the feel of the sun on your bare legs and a boy might stare at you because he doesn't care that it's rude because he thinks that you're there for his enjoyment and you'll get blamed for it even though he's the one that wouldn't keep his eyes to himself boys get excused for their actions “boys will be boys,” your parents would say when you run home crying because a boy tugged on your pigtails or made fun of the way you laughed boys don't have to hold responsibility for their actions just because they're not girls. boys don't have people use their gender as an insult no, people are suppose to aspire to be like their gender we've all heard people saying “man up. don't be such a girl.” and you still say that sexism doesn't exist.
