Someone on my RSS shared a fascinating blog entry about slut-shaming, and her personal experience with it.
I really wanted to copy this quote somewhere I could look at it again and think on it, so you are the lucky recipient:
See, the thing is this: when people try to make you feel bad about something that you didn’t do to them, when people try to make you feel bad about behavior that has nothing to do with them, when people try to make you feel bad about behavior that never hurt anyone else, those people are showing you who they are. And who they are is small, petty, frightened, angry and threatened.
I think it goes without saying, but I’m pretty relieved not to experience this very often in my daily life – and I sincerely hope that I am past those days, myself.
I like it… thanks for sharing. I’m gonna keep that for future pondering as well :-)
OMG that’s a fantastic, short, perfect description, yes. Mind if I cross-post somewhere myself, so I can have it later too? (I’ll need it for my girl. ;)
Please do. :)
that is awesome. i’m totally stealing that :) <3
