Why are people so wary of spiders? Spiders are misunderstood, they eat mosquitoes, and most of them don’t bite humans. I used to be afraid of spiders but then I held one in my hand and I lost my fear of spiders, and now if I see a spider, I won’t kill it, I will give it respect. #spidersareawesome

I am a happy woman and I tend to smile at people as I walk past.
I was warned by my husband that sometimes men will take a friendly smile as much more. (smile=lets get together)
He tends to be the voice of reason so I tried not smiling at men so much. I passed this info along to a coworker who tends to attract ’stalkers’. She said it’s not her place to keep herself in check, she can smile when she wants to. It’s not her job, yadda yadda. And she’s right.
So this is a rant.
Why do WE have more dress code restrictions than men, WE need to walk together in case of bad men. WE can hardly show our bare legs without getting cat called. WE turn down a date and WE get labeled a btch.
My ten year old daughter was ‘dress coded’ for wearing a shirt with skinny straps. The horror.
A man recently told me “you’re sexy” I said thank you, my husband thinks so too…and HE got mad at ME for having an attitude. What the heck!! It’s 2023. Teach your kids that people aren’t objects.
Also if someone shoots their shot, give them an answer. Don’t ignore them. Just a ‘no thank you’ might save you from a stalker…and that really sucks.

My best friend has known me for a decent amount of time, and we have a strong friendship. Her family is… very Christian (not in a good way), so she has some different views. We used to always talk about dumb stuff like boys we liked lol, but now I’m not really sure if that’s who I am anymore. She has said some kind of homophobic things, and I’m worried that she won’t support me and I’ll lose my best friend. And it’s stressing me out because I barely know who I am, or who I like. Idk if that’s dumb or not, but thanks for listening to my rant.

What’s the point of being like this when we could instead be hunter gatherers? It’s not like earth or the universe cares if we prevent war or something like that
