Why are you taking this so personally?
Why are you taking this so personally?
This entire piece is an answer to that last question.
When women are bombarded every day from every direction with questions and statements that lessen their worth as human beings, question their judgement, undermine their experiences,
and collectively make the very loud statement that what women say and experience matters far less than how women look and what men think of women, it's damned hard NOT to take it personally,
or to not get upset at yet another person cracking sexist jokes without thinking them through.

You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it.
You say you love sun, but you seek shade when its shining.
You say you love wind, but when its comes you close your window.
So that's why I'm scared, when you say you love me.
