TRIGGER WARNING: Assault

thought i’d tell you dames about something that happened to me in school. I was just in the corridor with some friends and a boy came up and poked my breast. I didn’t really know what to do but basically told him never to touch me ever again and he was lucky I didn’t report him because I wasn’t going to take that. Then, a few days after he grabbed my breast so I slapped him. He cried because I slapped him quite hard. Then all these girls had a go at me because he was their friend (cont)

(cont) and because it was ok for him to touch my breast for some reason that I really didn’t understand. But anyway, I think I did the right thing and I was hoping you guys would agree because you’re my feminist icons! thank you

Hi Anon,

Thanks for sharing your experience. We think you did the right thing too. No one has any right to touch your body without your permission to do so. And don’t let anyone make you doubt that.

Sorry about the lack of videos lately dames, times are weird at the moment. Anyways, what kind of a feminist education did you have at school? Would you like to see more/less of it in the classrooms? Is this hippy shit upsetting you? (if that last one is the case, then you are in the wrong place, friend.)

This week, the father who blogs at “Adult Onset Atheist” got a phone call that his 14-year-old daughter had been sent to the principal’s office, a punishment that meant she had to miss at least one class period and wait in an office with large windows, on display to all of her peers who would know she was in big trouble.

What was her crime? Dressing inappropriately. What was she wearing?…. Click the link to find out.
