#women’s safety

[ayaahh00]

Isn’t it so fucked up how men will constantly try to deter any woman’s sense of safety or power? If a woman says she has big dogs to walk with at night, you’ll find men saying “Can it take a bullet” or if a woman has a gun they’ll say “I can just twist your wrist and take it from you”. They’re always intentionally trying to make us feel threatened and unsafe. Men will go the extra mile to find every possible way to antagonize and harm women, if we have the power to defend ourselves, they will do whatever it takes to undermine it because for them, putting women in danger, stripping us of our agency and safety, gives them power and control. And they have the audacity to call themselves protectors and actually delude themselves to believe it. The idea of women protecting themselves and taking precautions angers them, which is why they always feel the need to undermine it.

This is such a poignant fact. I’m not here to say all American women should join the 4b movement. But we should all consider it to some level. I will always believe in true love, but this election has proven that we need to be VERY careful about the men we trust if we choose to pursue a relationship at all. An overwhelming number of men voted to elect a man guilty of SA. An overwhelming number of men are okay with that. It’s not all men, but let’s be better safe than sorry. If you’ve already got a good one, keep him. But for those who are single like me, let’s be very careful. Especially with American men. At least for right now, I won’t officially call myself 4b because I’ve been willing to talk to men from other countries for a while now. I don’t think they’re magically more progressive but many other countries have better gender equality norms than America.

There are still a few good men in America. I know a few men who are good husbands to their wives. But with what has happened in this election, we as women deserve to prioritize ourselves and our own safety. Whether we choose to fully align ourselves with the 4b movement or simply use even more caution than we did before, we deserve to put ourselves first.

Social commentary on the state of women’s sports right now. That last line is gold. 🤭😂

Spread this.

“Men are more likely than women to be involved in a car crash, which means they dominate the numbers of those seriously injured in car accidents. But when a woman is involved in a car crash, she is 47% more likely to be seriously injured than a man, and 71% more likely to be moderately injured, even when researchers control for factors such as height, weight, seat-belt usage, and crash intensity…She is also 17% more likely to die and it all has to do with how the car is designed - and for whom…When men and women are in a car together, the man is most likely to be driving. So not collecting data on passengers more or less translates as not collecting data on women. The infuriating irony of all this is that the gendered passenger/driver norm is so prevalent that…the passenger seat is the only seat that is commonly tested with a female crash-test dummy, with the male crash-test dummy still being the standard dummy for the driver's seat. So stats that include only driver fatalities tell us precisely zero about the impact of introducing the female crash-test dummy.” - Caroline Criado Perez (Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men)

it makes me angry nowadays when i realize how many women will endanger the women and girls in their life because they can’t face their own cognitive dissonance and crumbling worldview where men are (laughs) good. to me it’s the equivalent of parents who take their child to a pastor to pray an autoimmune disease out of them and watch the kid die.

you mean to tell me that in my own house I can’t wear shorts because my brothers and father are there because my body is provocative? you’ve made it my fault that you placed me in a house with males. you want to yap about how your husband and sons are saints and get angry when I say I don’t want to live near men of any kind but then go and tell me to “sit with my legs closed” in my own house? you’ll take me to church only if I’m covered head to toe in clothing and my hips and boobs don’t show and the swear up and down there are only men of god in there and I should want to go there? you’ll tell me how your boyfriend is so perfect and then rip me in two for saying two words in his direction because he’s so fucking loyal? kinda like how my brother will tell me “yes all men” and then get mad when I agree with him and don’t want his pervert friends around. yeah I don’t believe your bullshit for a second. don’t tell me you care about me when you’re chasing the status symbol of having a man or having a son. this has nothing to do with how good he is or how dear little boys are because we all know that’s horseshit and it’s everything to do with your pathetic attempt to boost your ego in a patriarchy.

women must take protecting themselves into their own hands because most people are not qualified or interested enough to do it.

Hey Ladies, men who bitch about women’s outfits with dumb shit like “Men like The Chase™️” & “Women are gifts that should be unwrapped by a special man”, are admitting out loud he’s a predator who sees & prefers non-consenting women as consumable objects for male enjoyment he must outwit & manipulate in order to “win” aka get her clothes off.

It’s never about modesty. Run in the other direction.

My mom is a small woman. Without a Caesarian I would have killed her. People who criticize c-sections can take a long walk off a short pier.

This is a very thoughtful video from AFC Bournemouth. As a woman who goes to games I feel like this is forgotten about. Everyone should be able to enjoy football and feel safe whilst doing so 🫶🏾

For those who say Imane Khelif is a female. He’s a man.

Hate crimes and discrimination would become acceptable under Donald Trump. As a black woman, my life and my future is at stake in this election. I’m pretty light skinned, but my mom? She’s not. I fear for her life and mine. Remember Matthew Shepherd? His brutal murder wouldn’t even be considered a hate crime under Trump’s policies. We must also save Palestine. And I believe Kamala will do that.

But even if you don’t believe her. Please understand what Trump will do to all minorities in this country. Under Trump’s policies women can be raped and forced to carry their rapists children. Under his policies, Women can be discriminated against in the workplace if their passion, education, and training leans towards a male dominated field. Divorce rights for women will be restricted immensely which will force thousands of women to stay with their abusers because not all victims of domestic violence have enough evidence to get a divorce if a no fault divorce is off the table. Even if they do, they can be killed while they are trying to prove they were abused. Police brutality against blacks people will escalate. I could go on and on and on. But just as lives are at stake in Palestine, lives are at stake here. Please, vote blue. Even if you don’t love Kamala, please vote to save the lives of your mothers, sisters, and daughters. Vote to save the life of your friends and family who are not white. Vote to save the lives of your friends and family who are part of the LGBTQ community. All of us knows someone who falls into one of these categories. Or you might be that someone yourself.

⚠️ ‼️ ⛔️ WARNING FOR ALL IPHONE USERS ⚠️ ‼️ ⛔️

There is a new tool with the iOS 17 update. It is called NameDrop. According to the official Apple website: “It allows you to instantaneously send contact information to other people just by placing your iPhone near to their iPhone.” This is similar to the pre-existing Tap to Share toolset, but with a specialized emphasis on contact information. There have been plenty of third-party apps that do this sort of thing, but this is Apple’s first-party solution.

This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! Especially for women, minors, and for LGBTQIA+ people. Domestic violence victims/survivors are ESPECIALLY at risk with this tool.

All someone has to do is touch their phone with yours and they will have ALL of your contact information. Thankfully it’s is easy to shut off, as seen in the screenshots below. I posted another screenshot of my own phone to show you what the toggle looks like. Shut it off and stay safe!

Please please PLEASE like, reblog, and share this to every iPhone user you know; especially if they are women, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, Donestic violence survivors, or minors.
