Ugh, I'm sorry you had to deal with that. I'm so, so sorry.

Sometimes I slip back into selectively not noticing how gross these attitudes are, because it's emotionally draining to be hyperaware all the time. It's just so problematic and upsetting, especially when you see how unaware young women are of its influence.

I KNOW. And since I'm not sexually active, it doesn't affect me on an explicit level so it's kind of easy not to think about it? But then I have to because it's affecting so many other people and everything breaks my heart.
