ART HELP:
Cutting to the chase I am doing a project for my art class that requires me to do a piece that is 60ftx1ft long.
60 feet is a HUGE size.
Long story short, I need your URLs, and if you reblog/like this post I will write your URL down on my piece.
I NEED 60 FEET OF URLS AND I HAVE SMALL HANDWRITING. PLEASE REBLOG FOR ONE REASON, AND ONE REASON ONLY:
I wanna see the finished piece
Some men who want to compliment random women on the street are genuinely good guys who just don’t understand why their comments might be unwelcome. Some men who want to compliment random women on the street are creepy predators. Most are somewhere in between, and guess what? I don’t know you, I don’t know your life, and I have no idea if you’re going to leave it at “Hey, you look good in that dress!” or follow it up with “But you’d look better without it! Har har! C’mon, where’re you going? I know you heard me! Fucking cunt, nobody wants your fat ass anyway, bitch.”
When you compliment a random woman who doesn’t know you, no matter how nice you are about it, there’s a good chance she’s going to freak out internally because for all she knows, you could be that latter type. And I get that it’s really unfair that women would just assume that about you. I get that it sucks that sometimes, expressing totally reasonable opinions like “hey you’re hot” will make women terrified of you or furious at you. That’s not fair.
But if you’re going to lay the blame for that somewhere, for fuck’s sake, don’t blame the woman. Blame all the guys who have called her a bitch and a cunt for ignoring their advances. Blame all the guys who may have harassed, abused, or assaulted her in the past. Blame all the people who may never do such a thing themselves, but who were quick to blame her and tell her to just get over it. Blame the fact that if she stops and talks to you and then something bad happens, people will blame her for stopping and talking to you.

A follow up to Kaitlan’s bullying issue.
Looks like the police suddenly realize they should do something. It looks like when a lot of people get together and speak out against something, things DO happen. Thank you to everyone that did anything about this, whether it was contacting the school, making posts about it, or just reblogging. It’s starting to look like something is ACTUALLY going to get done.
I’m so happy that they are taking this seriously. If she lives on campus she should also make the university aware, they can be held liable if they know this is going on and she is harmed. I would also be in contact with the apartment complex that she lives on if it isn’t on campus, they should be making sure people are not harassing her in her apartment or people who do not live there having access to her, especially if there is security that people need to get through in order to get to her apartment door.
I’m glad to hear it. I would still suggest Kaitlan try to record pictures of whoever is doing this - can get cameras inside smoke detectors or electrical sockets on Amazon (be sure to check reviews). If the cops are involved it may be easier to do.
