this is a very hard thing for me to talk about and i can’t believe i’m talking about it on here, but i feel like all of the people that follow me on here will be super supportive.

about three years ago, i met this guy on Instagram over our shared interests. slowly our friendship was becoming more and i was totally okay with it until he became possessive. he constantly texted me and followed me on ALL of my social media accounts and he also had all of my passwords. i was quite young at that point and i didn’t really know this is what a toxic relationship is. after a while i told one of my friends about my first boyfriend and of course she freaked out. she helped me change all of those passwords and block him. of course after making all of those new accounts he found me again…

so my 2016 became the worst year of my life. he made me miserable and even though there wasn’t physical abuse, there was so damn much verbal abuse. he constantly told me i wasn’t skinny enough and how i was ugly. i felt like i didn’t deserve anything ever in the world.

finally, i managed to get rid of him and he hasn’t found any of my accounts, i only have, tumblr and tellonym because I’m so damn afraid…

that shit lead to anxiety, depression and depersonalization…

honest question for men this women’s history month, are you doing anything to unlearn misogyny?

when was the last time you read a book by a woman?

have you ever read any feminist theory at all?

do you think you speak to women differently than you do to other men? have you ever thought about it?

would you ever/have you ever discussed feminism or sexism with a group of other men, have you ever voiced your discomfort if they said something sexist?

how much housework do you do? have you thought about if your mother or girlfriend/wife (if you have one) does more than you?

i’m not trying to make you feel bad, this is just a basic things i think all men should ask themselves and remember unlearning ideas we’ve all had drilled into us since birth is hard work and requires actively confronting areas you might think and do them, so it’s important to confront it in yourself just as much as you do in a wider context
