“
Men who want to flirt with women have to realize: Women live in a state of continual vigilance about sexual safety. Itās like having a mild case of hay fever that never goes away. Itās not debilitating. Youāre not weak. Youāre not afraid. You just suck it up and get on with your life. Itās nothing thatās going to stop you from making discoveries, or climbing mountains, or falling in love. Sometimes you can almost forget about it. It doesnāt mean itās not there, subtly sucking your energy. You learn to avoid situations that make it worse and seek out conditions that make it better.
If a female stranger is wary around you, it is not because she suspects you are a rapist, or that all men are rapists. Itās because a general level of circumspection is what vigilance requires. Donāt take it personally.
If this frustrates you, try to remember that women are blamed for lapsed vigilance. If a woman does get raped, everyone rushes to see where she let her guard down. Was she drinking? Was she alone? Was she wearing a short skirt? Did she go to a strange manās room for coffee at 4am?
A woman must be seen to be vigilant as well as be vigilant. If she is deemed insufficiently vigilant, she will be at least partly blamed for any sexual violence that befalls her. If sheās regarded as downright reckless, that āevidenceā can be used to completely exonerate her rapist. If it comes down to a he said/she said dispute over whether sex was consensual, as so many rape cases do, the dispute becomes a referendum on whether the woman seems like the sort of reckless person who would have sex with a stranger.
If a woman does go back to a strange manās hotel room at 4am, even if she only wants a coffee and conversation, sheās more or less given him the power to rape her. No jury is going to believe she went up there for anything but sex. So, donāt be surprised if a stranger reacts badly to that suggestion.

I wish I didnāt need to reblog stuff like this. I wish people *got it*. But judging from the ridiculous response to these posts, stuff like this clearly still needs to be repeated.Ā

I grew tired of arguing with people, getting mad at people, and explaining myself to people. Iām too much of a kindhearted fuck sometimes because I can so easily see both sides of a position and effortlessly let go of my frustration. I have too much empathy, too much tolerance. If I reach the…

BEYOND THE BEAT is the first annual benefit dance competition of its kind! Presented by Beat Jerkeez Dance Crew, BEYOND THE BEAT carries one clear mission:
To motivate talented, passionate individuals to serve and improve their community through dance and performance.
Each competing team in BEYOND THE BEAT will represent a charity of their choice. The prize money for first, second, and third place teams will be donated directly to their chosen charities.
IN HONOR OF MEMORIAL DAY: During World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt pledged that Filipinos who fight for the United States will be granted citizenship and military benefits. As a result, over 200,000 Filipinos fought side by side with American soldiers during World War II. Shortly after the war ended, that promise was taken back with the Recission Act of 1946. It was not until 2009 when President Obama signed a bill that would give Filipino World War II veterans a lump sum compensation of $15K ($9K for those living in the Philippines) to the less than 18,000 veterans who are still alive today. Yes, such an amount is not commensurate to the benefits they missed out on for over 50 years, but yet to this day a majority of them still have not received such meager compensation. So, LET US REMEMBER THE FILIPINO VETERANS WHO WERE NOT ONLY VICTIMS OF WORLD WAR II, BUT ALSO VICTIMS OF INSTITUTIONALIZED RACISM.
Amen. To the thousands of veteranos who have not received the recognition and justice they so deserve.
Will always be passionate about this cause. Will never stop fighting.
Yes! The younger generation of filipinos need to be well informed of our veteranos. Get educated about our history yall
