In a culture where girls are told to get thicker skin, lighten up and learn to take a joke, it’s kind of hard to battle those “little things” that slowly degrade women over time.
Why can’t we just find a little humor in dirty jokes or laugh when we’re affectionately referred to as “whore” or “slut”? Or why can’t we just smile and say “thank you” when a guy says “nice butt”? Why do we all have to be so politically correct?
Well one girl narrates a chilling letter to her father that portrays exactly why…
(Warning: This video contains explicit material.)
She starts by thanking her dad for looking after her so well, even though she’s not yet born. She knows he tries harder than Superman, as he won’t even let her mom eat sushi.
“I will be born a girl,” she continues…”which means by the time I’m 14, the boys in my class will have called me a whore, a b****, a c***, and many other things. It’s just for fun, of course.”
“By the time I turn 16, a couple of the boys will have snuck their hands down my pants while I’m so drunk I can’t even stand straight. And although I say no, they just laugh. It’s funny, right?
