The number of examples I have seen of people being told to shut up about their lived experiences with sexual abuse in the past 24 hours on this platform is deeply disturbing.

I am calling on y’all to take a deep breath and listen to women for once. There is a time and place for tone policing and it’s never the very minute a woman speaks up.

Be humble, understand the dangers, and have thicker skin when people tell you unpleasant truths.

Imagine saying that to a woman being catcalled.

Are you being catcalled right now?

I didn't realize this discussion was happening outside of your house. Is there a garden I shouldn't be stepping on?
