We've come a long way in the war against sexism. Modern women vote, drive, work, and are financially independent. We have our own identities, dreams and goals. Legally speaking, we are equal to men in every way.

I’ve Always Liked Being Catcalled
Before you head to the comments and tell me there’s something wrong with me for liking it when I’m objectified and harassed: I already know. I wouldn’t be writing this if there wasn’t. Hell, I probably wouldn’t be a writer if there wasn’t something wrong with me, period.

The Road To Justice
There was a small part of me that hoped when my old friend, otherwise known as the man who sexually assaulted me, sat in the police station for the first time, that he would admit what he did. Therefore ending the need for me to keep re-living and re-telling my story.

DON'T HURT A WOMAN.
It might take you a minute to break a woman's trust but getting it back takes time.Here is one of the reasons i cant simply just trust anyone with my entire life, this story thought me how to not let things in this life weigh you down till you cat do nothing but depend on others. A few times a lot of men take advantage of the fact that women are considered the weaker vessel and as such should treat a women however they might please. A woman loses her pride and dignity the moment she loses her virginity which is no new thing in our world today even though many might say that it doesn't matter as the world's is no longer archaic but news flash it matters.
