Everyday Harassment

A safe space for women (and everyone else!) to share their stories and to educate others on the nature and frequency in which sexual harassment occurs. This blog frequently contains stories involving sexual assault and abuse and while those things will always be tagged with trigger warnings, it is important to be aware of this before following or reading this blog.

CEOs and large corporations are the real welfare queens 👑.

Working off of the labor of others, only there because of being born into capital and pre-existing familial or business relations? Yep

my day so far

i think the most horrifying thing about these stories is always the first line, "i was 5-6/10/13 years old" "I was with my friend/sibling's SO/relative/someone's parent" I just scroll through these stories and feel sick because there is literally no safe space. It can happen at any age, with anyone, anywhere. There is no guaranteed harassment/violation free place, how do we live like this??

This honestly disturbs the hell out of me, and the fact that so many people who don’t experience harassment just write it off is disgusting.

Are White People Discriminated Against for Scholarships?

Only 5.5% of undergrad students receive private scholarships.

Of the private scholarships available, less than 5% of scholarship programs and less than 10% of the total number of individual scholarships take race into consideration.

The scholarships that do take race into consideration have other criteria that they look at, such as grades, extracurricular activities, and community service.

White students are 40% more likely to receive scholarships than minority students. 

Only 3.5% of students of color receive scholarships even partially based on race.

So, no. They aren’t.

Scholar 1: *writes a thing*

Scholar 2: Here is my review of his thing. In closing, it is shit.

Scholar 1: It has come to my attention that Scholar 2 referred to my work as shit. I have for you now an essay on why my work is NOT shit and why Scholar 2 is henceforth dead to me.

Scholar 2: It has been brought to my attention that Scholar 1-

I'm bothered by this and Idk I just need someone to explain. These guys at lunch say things very sexual things while I eat my food like "awww you can do that to me anytime." "Suck on it next time." I told them I do not like it. Should I tell on them?

Wow that is absolutely unacceptable and gross! I would tell a teacher or a faculty member if you can. It’s not okay for people to be sexually harassing you while you’re in a learning environment (or anywhere tbh).

Hey friends! I’m posting a bit of a different kind of video today in response to all of the misogynistic YouTube comments I receive on my channel. I’ve been working on this for awhile and I’m super excited to finally share it! It would mean a lot if you could share it or if you are a woman online who has dealt with this, use the tag #YouTubeMisogyny to share your experiences.

But seriously having appearance or ‘sexual attractiveness’ brought into irrelevant situations (eg. Being called ‘gorgeous’ or strangers saying ‘thanks for the view’ when you give them directions, being honked at etc.) leads to this really persistent and uneasy feeling of being watched everywhere you go and it amazes me that people still don’t understand how constant and negative that feeling is

when i was 12 years old in gym, 5 of the boys in my class took me behind bleachers, pinned my arms and covered my mouth. they then proceeded to see who could touch my ass and boobs for the longest, some of them lingering on the waistband of my pants. i eventually got away and tried to tell my story to an adult a few days later. they did nothing. the same group of boys followed me around the school, shoving me against lockers and touching me for the rest of that year. public school everyone.

Oh my god that’s fucking disgusting. I’m so sorry that happened to you :(

Ex-Harry Potter podcast host accused of harassing female writer on social media

Mugglecast's Ben Schoen decided to use his powers for evil.

We are horrified by what we are seeing from a member of the Harry Potter community. Ben’s actions toward women online are never okay and we are proud to see how the Harry Potter community is coming together in support of each other against manipulative, dangerous, and toxic actions.

Please know that you are not alone. You never have to accept that kind of behavior. If you or someone you know needs help, please take a look at our resources.

We are so proud to see women and allies around the Internet standing up against this kind of behavior. Keep the conversation going. We have a lot of work to do but we can do it together. 

And if you would like more information about what has been going on in the community please check out the Daily Dot article linked above.

so apparently a user by the name of razorxbluexeyes is going around sending girls of various ages (yes, minors included) disgusting messages about how he wants to fuck them or asking for nudes. then when they reject his advances, even politely, he becomes a victim, whining about being treated badly, and calls them dumb sluts and whores and threatens physical violence, and says they deserve to be gang raped. he is also incredibly racist and a hitler supporter, just look at his blog, its either porn or some kind of hate. he is breaking nearly every rule on tumblr. we dont need this type of garbage on here. please share this and report him, get this scumbag off of tumblr.

When i was about 9 a full grown adult man made many comments to me about sharing his mattress and always tried to talk to me, when i was doing my homework would sit rly close next to me lean in ect get into my space. im 18 now and just figured out today that this is why im so afraid of men flirting with me and stuff because my first ever experience with male attention was taboo and scary and unwanted. This has affected my life and happiness substantially not sure how to proceed now
