A woman talks about her morning commute. "This is what I was wearing this morning as I made my way through a crowded 34th Street subway station, and a man passing by me said, "Damn, you have some great legs." When I ignored him and kept walking, he turned around to follow me, to get closer, even as I was moving away. "Did you hear me, honey? I said you have nice legs. Damn! Thank you.""

Grease: "Even though Danny and Sandy apparently had a perfectly lovely relationship before school started, if she wants to prove she's really deserving of his attention again, all she has to do is change every single thing about herself, from her appearance to her attitude, and take up smoking."
Jurassic World: "Once again, here's a lady who's presumably good at her job, but treated like she's a withholding ice queen because of it, when men who are distinctly not good at their jobs don't get even close to the same treatment. And don't even get me started on the running in heels thing."
An article discussing sexist movies. This one speaks of Interstellar. "If Anne Hathaway's character is that high up in NASA, it's probably that she's good at her job, right? And, when people are good at their job, they don't usually throw it all away — and by "all" I mean "the fate of the entire world" — just because they have a crush on a coworker, right? Unless they're a a woman in a Christopher Nolan movie, apparently."
An article discussing the Jian Ghomeshi trial beginning. "On Monday, former CBC Radio host Jian Ghomeshi will face the first trial for numerous sexual assault allegations made against him, The Guardian reports. In October 2014, three women came forward with stories of abuse from Ghomeshi, with one claiming he choked her almost to the point of unconsciousness.
A CBC employee claimed Ghomeshi had once grabbed her butt at the office and told her that he wanted to “hate-fuck” her. In the following weeks, more accusers, including one male, came forward saying Ghomeshi had groped, punched or choked them without warning. The number of alleged victims had reached more than twenty.
Man weighs on rape cultre on a post talking about how women get blamed for their rapes. "Rapists gonna rape...that'll never change. There is no justifying it, so I'm not sure what the point of this post is. However, there is something that should be brought to higher awareness...and that is the punishment of women who falsely accuse men of raping them. Women who did it for petty revenge or got busted cheating on their mate, so they claimed rape to save face. I have met men who were falsely accused. It ruined their life. Even after exoneration, you lose all credibility in society, can never own a firearm again, and end up staying on the sex offender list long after it's over. If it were up to me, I'd pass a law that made women serve the same sentence as the accused rapist would have if found innocent...but, I'm sure I'm just being a chauvinist."
Another man joins the argument: "Notice how a bunch of bitchy girls get mad when you try to simply help? Its cunts like you who stay single "where all the good guys at" lmao grow up"

A woman writes in a safe space about her experience with rape: "I am 17 years old. At 11 I was put into a foster home to be adopted where I was raped almost every night I was there. I will spare the gruesome details but it has left its scars. When I tried to speak up I was told I was crazy, that it didn't happen."

She talks about her body image after posting a selfie that didn't make her look slimmer, unlike another picture she had: "As time went on, I kept fantasizing about what it would be like to take down that image and replace it with the one taken at a better angle in a few weeks. I had to confront my body image issues head-on with this one. Despite considering myself a body positive proponent, it was truly difficult to not equate my self-worth with this photo that was making me feel inadequate. "
A woman talks about posting ugly photos of herself on Instagram as an experiment: "I decided to start the #uglyphotochallenge on my birthday, of all days. And I found that posting an "ugly" photo of myself with a scowl on my face and no makeup on actually made me feel like shit. It didn't really matter to me what people might say, or whether they commented at all. It just made me feel like I was putting a less than desirable version of myself out there — one I didn't gravitate toward naturally."
