Often, us girls can get jealous of the things guys take for granted. For instance, they can just put on any clothes they feel like wearing to any event and be on their way. For us girls, we can't always dress as cute as we would like to, or wear whatever we want to in general because we have to think about if some creepy man thinks that the clothes that we are wearing is an open invitation to sexual harassment or even sexual assault.
This is just one example of things we girls and women have to worry about that guys can easily take for granted. Girls have always had it harder all throughout history, and even though we have more rights than ever thought imaginable just within the past few hundred years, we still face many social injustices that we shouldn't have to, yet is a daily struggle for most.
1. Wondering if what I'm wearing will get me harassed or if it's just safe in general.
2. Wondering if it's safe to go somewhere alone
3. Clenching tight onto our keys on the walk to our car
4. Every now and then having to ask someone to walk us to our car
5. Making sure that you always have pepper spray in hand if you are alone anywhere
6. Feeling pressure to wear makeup
7. Being afraid of rejecting a guy because you simply aren't interested, yet knowing they will inevitably get mad and call you a bitch anyways.
8. Properly shaving basically your entire body because society has told you that you have to.
9. When you're legitimate reasons for being mad at a guy, then just being labeled as 'crazy'.
10. Sitting near women in public to avoid being harassed.
11. Calling your friends when you don't feel safe in public just in case something happens.
12. Dressing as ugly as possible so creepy men don't bother you when you're simply going to get milk from the grocery store.
13. Whether or not we are being seen as "leading a guy on" when we are really just being nice and really just want to be friends.
14. Constantly keeping an eye on your drink to make sure that no one is trying to roofie you.
15. Trying not to be perceived as a bitch by making your voice be heard and standing by it.
