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...
