After Taylor Swift
revealed
she was voting
for Kamala Harris
in the US Presidential Election,
Elon Musk
posted
“Fine Taylor …
you win …
I will give you a child
and
guard your cats with my life”
Many of us
deal with this type of sexual harassment
every d@mn day
and we’re f*ckin’ tired of it.
And it IS sexual harassment.
The person saying it
knows they’re committing verbal violence
against a woman.
The woman targeted
knows it is an act of verbal violence.
The people listening
and saying nothing
know it is an act of verbal violence.
The only people who think
it is a joke
are other sexual harassers.
The goal of the comment
is to dim the woman’s light.
It is to stop the woman’s momentum.
It is to punish her
and to make her think twice
about using her power again.
Often, it is successful.
Which is why
so many men do it.
Don’t allow it to stop you
OR
the women around you.
See it for the tactic
it is.
