“[TW: rape culture]
And when we frame all women as being someone’s wife, mother or daughter, what are we teaching young girls?

We are teaching them that in order to have the law on their side, they need to be loved by men. That they need to make themselves attractive and appealing to men in order to be worthy of protection. That their lives and their bodily integrity are valueless except for how they relate to the men they know.

The truth is that I am someone’s wife. I am also someone’s mother. I am someone’s daughter, and someone’s sister. But those are not the things that define me, or make me valuable in this world. Those are not the reasons that I should be able to live a life free from rape, sexual assault or any kind of violent crime.

I have value because I am a person. Full stop. End of argument. This isn’t even a discussion that we should be having.

So please, let’s start teaching that fact to the young women in our lives. Teach them that you love, honour and value them because of who they are. Teach them that they should expect to be treated with integrity because it’s a basic human right. Teach them that they do not deserve to be raped because no one ever, ever, ever deserves to be raped.

Above all, teach them that they are people, too.”

- I Am Not Your Wife, Sister, or Daughter. I Am a Person

This post is soooo good at articulating why it’s so harmful to have to relate women to men through their relationships with men

whimsywoo:

This man Charles Ramsey helped rescue the 3 women and a girl that were missing for 10 yrs, although he is being held as a national hero for what he did. He says “I’m not a hero, I’m an American that just did what anyone else would have done if someone needed help.” When asked about reward money he said “I don’t want any reward money, I work for a living, give it to the victims.”

God Bless you Sir, just think if he would of heard the scream and decided to ignore it and walk away, these women would still be in that house. A valuable lesson is to be learned here, when you hear or see someone in danger or needs help, Make it your business to do the right thing. Don’t turn the cheek and walk away, because you just might be that persons last hope!
