"Stop telling women that we should find ourselves beautiful and that we should love ourselves when you are standing right there, judging us on how our knees look in short skirts and how prominent our boobs are in a sweater and how much makeup we are or are not wearing. Instead of us working harder on “love your body” and “find your inner beauty”, the rest of the world should be working harder on “stop telling women their bodies are a shameful place to live but that if they’re strong enough, they will learn to embrace that shame.” This is my body. It’s not “beautiful”. I don’t “love it”. I don’t have to. I don’t have to have any strong feelings about my body. And whatever feelings I do have are not somehow invalid if they’re not glowing reviews."

BEING AN ALLY IS INHERENTLY NOT ABOUT YOU. IF YOU THINK BEING AN ALLY IS ABOUT YOU, YOU’RE FUCKING UP. IF YOU THINK THAT BEING CALLED OUT ON THE SHITTY THINGS YOU DO AS AN ALLY IS ABOUT YOU, YOU’RE FUCKING UP. BEING AN ALLY IS ABOUT THE PEOPLE YOU CLAIM TO ALLY YOURSELF WITH. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU.

"Indeed, the idea of ‘winning the girl’ – of overcoming female objections or resistance through repeated and frequently escalating efforts – is central to most of our modern romantic narratives. (Female persistence, by contrast, is viewed as pathetic.) And the more I think about instances of creepiness, harassment and stalking that culminate in either the threat or actuality of sexual assault, the more I’m convinced that a massive part of the problem is this socially sanctioned idea that men are fundamentally entitled to persist. Because if men are meant to persist, then women who say no must only be rejecting the attempt, not the man himself, so that every separate attempt becomes one of a potentially infinite number of keys which might just fit the lock of the woman’s approval. She’s not the one who’s allowed to say no, not really; she should be silent and passive as a locked door, waiting patiently while the man runs through however many keys he can be bothered trying. And if he gets sick of this lengthy process and just breaks in? Well, frustration under those circumstances is only natural. Either the door shouldn’t have been there to impede him, or it shouldn’t have been locked."

I recently heard MRAs complaining about this. Women get free drinks thanks to rape culture, but “oh the poor oppressed MENS FEELS!”
