He asked me if I was "one of those feminists"
the kind that protests everything
the kind who don't wear bras
and purposely don't shave
I was embarrassed/angry, because no, I am not, but...
maybe I am.
I hardly ever protest. I have very strong opinions on sex, the wage-gap, slut-shaming, nipples, and everything in between (DOWN WITH THE PATRIARCHY), but besides a rambly Facebook post every once in a while, I don't typically protest in the traditional terms.
I love not wearing a bra, and I am so into the nipple trend, but unfortunately I have larger breasts and they get sore if I don't wear a bra all day... so I can't also free the nipple.
I definitely shave. Not sure why, but I remember my dad being really grossed out when I wouldn't shave in high school because none of the other girls were on my basketball team. i thought it was funny, but I was kind of grossed out by myself after he mentioned it. So I shave, not constantly, but typically I am get my situations situated most of the time.
So am I one of those feminists?
I don't think this is fair. And I don't think this is wrong.
After Donald Trump was elected into office, I went to sleep hoping it would change.
When I woke up it was official, he was it.
The man who thinks men should grab women by their pussies, mocks women who aren't slim, refers to his own daughter as a beauty that he might have a go at it she wasn't his daughter.
I cried. I felt violated. I still do.
If I wasn't "one of those feminists" before
I am now.
Just fucking wait.
