Not surprising, bc I’m a girl so this is my life experience. Guys in my life are surprised when I tell them that this is how women plan their life… when it’s not your everyday reality you aren’t aware of how normal it really is for us. Makes me realize that other ppl have an everyday reality that I don’t know anything about as well!

By asking women and men what they do on a daily basis to protect themselves from being sexually violated, the video highlights the myriad strategies that women are socialized to employ in an attempt to protect themselves. Men, by and large, do not think about the threat of sexual violence in their lives, nor do most men, on a daily basis, do anything to protect themselves from such a threat. This is not to say that men are never raped or assaulted, but to highlight the realities of a culture in which women, but not men, are systematically targeted for acts of sexual aggression.

Great video. Additionally though, we should look at how these strategies increase for trans* folks and the LBGT communities as well people of color. 

watching those men made me feel bitter and kinda resentful, I have to admit

FUCK I want to go on adventures. I want to be able to leave my house whenever I want without being scared. I want to be able to not worry about or think about being sexually assaulted.

I was fucking jealous of those men who could say that. Especially the ones who looked like they’d never even thought about it before

The ending made me feel a little better, though. Everyone who speaks against feminism or denies rape cultures exists should watch this.

Don’t think there would ever be a good time to post this, so I’ll just post it now.

I spent about three months trying to draw this, but due to it’s personal nature, I had to put it down a lot. So there’s that.

— EDIT PART 2 —
I’ve chopped it up as a photo set to see if it would view better here. Here’s the full size if you’d like to see it in one go.
