Jesusfuckingchrist Just Fucking Stop

And those who have stopped have to stop excusing the ones who haven't.

Jessica Goldstein at Think Progress:
Funnier women have made comedy over the tragedy that is the never-ending list of things that girls are supposed to be doing, at all times, to protect ourselves. I think we are all over being told that for us to do all of these things—ostensibly in situations, like parties, when we are supposed to be able to relax and have fun; ostensibly in places like the intimacy of a relationship, where the whole freaking point is to feel safe and open with another person—because it is our responsibility to do so, and we are over being told that while that is possible, it is not possible to just have men stop violating women. Because it is more possible for us to do the thousand things than for men to stop doing the one thing, and if we do 999 of the things and they still do the one thing, it will be our fault for not doing that thousandth thing.
