I consider myself a nice person but the way certain guys talk to me, feeling entitled to my attention and my time, really brings out the worst in me.

I owe you nothing.

I don’t owe you my time, my presence or my affection.

And the fact that I feel automatically guilty after typing an appropriate response to entitlement makes me wonder how many other girls have assimilated the notion that  they should be grateful for being objects of male entitlement because society taught them that they should be flattered in first place.

All men benefit from women’s reinforced fear of being hurt for saying no.

Understand that this applies even to non-sexual situations. Women are more likely to be asked for favors from coworkers. Regular “can you file this for me” / “can you cover my shift” / “can you finish up this paperwork” workplace favors. Men are less likely to return those favors. Women are more likely to be seen as “difficult to work with” if they refuse to do favors when requested. Being viewed as ungenerous has negative social and professional consequences.

So yes, even gay men benefit. All men benefit from women’s reinforced fear of being hurt, not just physically, but also socially and professionally, for saying no to anything at all.

This is important.

Thinking a lot lately about how this stuff plays out in two circles where I spend a lot of time–the comics community, and the development / implementation of CoCs and harassment policies; and how it intersects with both of those for freelancers in particular.

Two scientists walk into a restaurant. The first one says, “I’ll have an H2O.” The second one says, “I’ll also have a glass of water. Why are you referring to it so strangely? We’re not at work anymore.”

The first chemist goes into the bathroom and cries. His assassination plot has failed.
