Why are us females
expected to expose ourselves? And why do some men feel the right to get upset
that we don’t want to share our bodies with them through texts. It’s disgusting
and unacceptable.
I have a friend that dealt with a similar situation, but not
as extreme. Kyra* was texting her boyfriend, Joe* and he asked if she could “send
some nudes”. Kyra replied saying “No I’m not doing that”. Later that day Joe
called Kyra to break up with her, and he went on a rant on twitter complaining
about how “childish” anonymous was for not sending the pictures.
Joe was wrong to end things with Kyra all because she
didn’t want to send the picture. Why is that so important to him and their relationship? We will
never know. I felt terribly sorry for Kyra, but it was good that she
learned what type of person he was very fast.
This brings me back to the situation with the boy threatening
to kill the girls at his high school, there is no reason he should try to end
anyone’s life over a naked photo. That was a very scary situation, it could’ve ended
VERY badly. Us women are looked down upon and it’s not fair. There needs to be
a change in this society and fast!
Joe* and Kyra* = names have been changed

I really enjoyed reading this post because it is so real. It is refreshing that you talk about this topic without sugarcoating anything. Your last sentence also engages the reader and encourages them to take action.
ReplyDeleteI like that you are not afraid to talk about things that some people might avoid talking about. This situation happens to girls everywhere all the time and it is not fair that we are treated like objects to men!
ReplyDeleteI like how you incorporated both an example from the news, as well as an example from a friend. It shows that this issue is widespread and that if someone feels personally victimized, they are definitely not alone.
