“So yeah, it’s just a shirt.
And it’s just an ad.
It’s just a saying.
It’s just a TV show.
It’s just the Internet.
Yes, but you almost make as much as a man does.
It’s just a catcall.
It’s a compliment!
It’s just that boys will be boys.
It’s just that she’s a slut.
It’s just that your dress is too short.
It’s just that we want to know what you were wearing at the
time, ma’am.
It’s just it’s just it’s just.
It’s just a death by a thousand cuts. No one cut does the
deed. In the end, they all do."
"You can’t talk about one in three women experiencing
violence at least once in their lifetime, in intimate partner relationships,
and say it is other than an epidemic. "
What does it mean to be a good man? A good man does not have
to beat a woman, he seeks consent for sex, he wants his partner to have access
to a nurse and a doctor during pregnancy, a good man wants his children to
understand their bodies."
