This isn’t for anyone else. This is for @quirly but (for obvious reasons) I can’t message her directly unless she follows me.
I just sat and watched you get talked over and dismissed and TRY to say what you needed only to get dismissed.
I recognised myself. I recognised every girl I’ve ever met who has laughed off a comment or a vibe out of fear. I admired the fuck out of you for calling time and leaving.
I feel it. So deeply. I’m almost 30 and I can’t imagine having to deal with this shit so publicly. I would break. I would have never had the courage to say ‘fuck this. I’m out.’
I’m female. I sure I don’t need to explain to you or to any other female that I put up with this kind of shit almost every day of my life. I doubt I need to clarify I have been SA’d.
Grace, I hope to fuck you see this. I hope you know I’m here - at fucking 2am on a Thursday - and I know, I KNOW - that this will be so much harder for you being in the public eye. But please know I support you, I’ve got your back, and I’ll take on internet trolls to prove it.
