Fear is not the natural state of civilized people."
So why can't I go out on my own ? And this I also mean in France. Why can't I go back home from Uni without checking that there is no creep following me to my house to try to trap me and touch me in my own building ? Why can't I wear a skirt without being verbally assaulted by men who think they're in their right ? Why can't I go to a party and just have fun without guys feeling me up like I'm a piece of meat ? Why can't I go to the mall with my friends without being followed by a herd of horny guys who think that being white means being a slut ? Why am I the one who should calm down and go with it as they get away with their dirty hands and a clear conscience ? Can I get an answer for all this ? I'm not even asking this as a woman, although I'll keep fighting for women's rights as long as I live, I'm asking this as a human being. Isn't there a part in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights about dignity ? Should I really be fighting for something that was given to me already ? Or maybe this applies only to men as in France (and not in Quebec so that's not just a linguistic thing), we still talk about "Droits de l'Homme" ?
Can anyone give me an answer before I just go postal ? I swear it's getting harder to believe in the good nature of humans, especially men, when you know that one woman out of four will be physically/sexually assaulted in our world. And that having to go through a little thing once doesn't not protect you from going through worse, because a rapist will never ask you if you're already one of the four. When can we stop living in fear ? When can I stop living in anger ? When can I feel that I have the same rights as a human ?
I need answers badly...

I'm sure they(feminists) will never be happy!
Et le pire dans tout ça, c'est qu'on ne peut pas y faire grand chose, sinon agir chacun à notre minuscule petit niveau de grain de sable... c'est comme lutter contre le vent quand on est sur son vélo et qu'on est en retard et donc qu'on est obligé de continuer à pédaler même si on a du mal à avancer parce qu'en plus on a un prof qu'aime pas quand on est en retard, et même qu'on sait déjà qu'il va falloir se trouver une place sous les yeux de toute la salle de TD bondée ! (comment ça je m'égare ?)
Enfin si déjà tu parvenais à ne pas te sentir "diminished" et "less than human" (oui, c'est super facile à dire, je sais), ça serait au moins un peu plus supportable... peut-être...
Quoiqu'il arrive, George, sois sûre de recevoir plein de bisous qui donnent du courage, plein plein plein !
and she was only concerned of her duty towards her people.
once upon a time, she was a woman in India and her name was Indira Gandhi. and she became a great head of state in the world. and she was only worried about her work. many kisses from Ppa
Mais de toute façon, que peut faire ce genre de déclaration bien intentionnées face à des mentalités qui ne changent pas ?
Pour ma part, je crois que je vais commencer à interpeller les mecs dans la rue pour leur dire 'he msieur, msieur, t'es trop charmant"
