WOMEN ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE PREFERENCES
WOMEN HAVE A CHOICE IN WHO TO DATE/SLEEP WITH/ETC
WOMEN DON’T HAVE TO LIKE YOU
WOMEN SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE TO JUSTIFY THEIR PREFERENCES
WOMEN SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID TO REJECT SOMEONE FOR WHATEVER REASON
BEING “NICE” DOES NOT MEAN A PERSON IS ATTRACTED TO YOU OR OWES YOU ANYTHING
SERIOUSLY
I
AM
SCARED
AND
IT’S
NOT
FAIR
Because I can tell you for a fact, I know many black women who are loud and ratchet and wear weaves. I know black women who are attending law school and choose to wear their hair naturally. I know black women who are single mothers, working multiple jobs in order to support their families. I know black women who are shy and introverted and listen to alternative music. I know Claire Huxtables and Olivia Popes. I know Nene Leakes and Sweet Browns. And the one thing that they all have in common is that they all deserved to be loved.
"not all men!" but all women are bad drivers and all women are moody and all women are emotional and all women get to be painted with the same brush but don’t you dare generalise men that’s unfair!!!!!!!!

We call ships ‘she.’ We call our war machines ‘women.’ We compare women to black widows and vipers. And you’re going to tell me it’s not ‘lady-like’ to scream, to take up space, to fight and demand respect and do whatever the hell I want. You’ve looked at nuclear bombs and been so in awe that you could only name them after women. Don’t try to down-play my power.
I want to frame this and put it next to my computer.
’Slut’ is attacking women for their right to say yes. ‘Friend Zone’ is attacking women for their right to say no.
