He died to give me life

Hi! My name is Elizabeth. I like the color blue, Peter Pan, Lord of The Rings, horses, reading, friends (and making new ones), picnics, parks, warm summer days, the beach, holding hands, hugs, and lots and lots of music.

No one hears

They continue on their way

No offense but my female ancestors didn’t go through centuries of oppression for me to feel bad about myself all the time

My brother and his girlfriend broke up today. While she definitely wasn't my favorite I'm hurting for him. I didn't like her but he did and if she was going to make him happy then my feelings didn't matter. I don't want him to be going through the pain of losing a love. I don't want that for anyone.

Okay but after seeing this I started doing it too and it’s amazing how many men I’ve run into bc they expected me to move

I work (and walk) on a college campus. I’ve lost count of how many men I’ve smacked shoulders with.

Recently, I was standing outside my son’s classroom waiting to talk to his teacher. I stood on one side of the hallway, not even close to the center. At some point, a man came walking along. I was standing right in his path, but the hallway was empty, so I logically expected him to swerve around me. Instead he kept walking right toward me, got to me, and stopped, as if waiting for me to get out of his way. I didn’t; I just smiled politely at him. He finally walked around me, clearly annoyed that I hadn’t leapt out of his manly path.

Now I’m wishing I’d leapt aside, taken off my jacket and laid it on the floor before him, then bowed deeply and said, “My Liege!”

I also work at a college campus. I smack shoulders sometimes, but I find that if I stare straight ahead and follow the advice below, people get the heck out of the way.

Honestly this post changed how I carry myself when walking alone in public, or in a situation where I’m the one leading. People definitely move for the murder gaze.

Confirmed. I once had to rush back inside a convention hall as the con was closing in order to a retrieve a sick friend’s medication, and I didn’t understand why people in the crowd were jumping out of my way (literally—one guy vaulted a table) until I realized I was dressed as the Winter Soldier and doing the Murder Walk because that’s just how I walk in those boots. I got the meds, got out, and made a mental note.

I repeated the experiment later, wearing the boots but otherwise my usual clothing and mimicking the expression I thought I’d had at that moment. People parted like I was Charlton Heston.

I now wear that style of boots whenever possible. I recently had a man do a double-take as I walked by and ask me, politely, where I had served because I “looked like a soldier.” I’m not current or former military. I was wearing a flowy purple peasant top and looked as un-soldierlike as possible.

Moral of the story: wear comfortable shoes, square your shoulders, and walk like you’ve been sent to murder Captain America.

A guy on a bike went around me because he could tell I had no intention of moving. Thanks to this post.

#make men get the fuck out of the way 2k17

[angryschnauzer]

I do this now. Stand my ground. Men look flabberghasted that i wont move out of the way. The most annoying thing is when i’m walking along holding Superpups hand (he’s 2.5 years old), and people walk right up to us and expect to go between us… so for me to let go of my toddlers hand for the sake of them. One person i actually had to put my free hand out and onto their chest to block the person to stop before they ploughed into us.

[peterpanenvy]

I was supposed to go to a Mario kart party with my husband. Like we actually drove there and everything. But now I’m sitting home alone. Why? Because the first thing he did when we got there was leave me alone with a bunch of people I didn’t know. I felt like I was going to have a panic attack so I just left. I didn’t know what else to do. They were setting up brackets and stuff and I didn’t really want to play and I didn’t feel like I belonged so I just left.

My brother lives with my husband and me and he got some mail today so I went to put it on his desk. Right on top of his desk is a summons to appear for a dui.... I am so beyond pissed at him. He knows better than that... we’ve had family members killed that way. I can’t believe he’d do something so stupid.
