I’d never heard of her and I got more and more shocked as I read on. The sheer number of brilliant people in history who’ve gotten no respect or recognition because they aren’t well-off white men. What a massive loss to us all.
I just got around to updating the old Scrapbook artwork with new “photos”, retouching and re-toning it so that I could make a wallpaper/device background out of it for Patrons. After reformatting it into about 20 different shapes, I figured I might as well do one specially made for Tumblr too.
srsly tho this is absolutely a thing that dudes do all the f***ing time
like where if he knows a girl doesn’t necessarily want to give him a hug, he will trap her in this position in front of witnesses where she has 2 options- both of which are undesirable for her, while simultaneously desirable for him
if she doesn’t want to hug him, whatever she does, it will suck for her.
she can 1. say nah and be the fucking asshole in front of other ppl or 2. forsake her corporeal boundaries and allow unwanted intimate contact
it’s a f***ing trap
F***ing hate dudes forreal.
too many f***ing times ugh
Story time.
One day I was on the MAX (basically a giant street car that goes all over the metro area) on my way to meet up with a few friends. I didn’t look at anyone, I didn’t speak to anyone, I just stood to the side on my phone making sure I wasn’t going to be late to my meeting.
Out of no where, this guy comes up to me and starts to chat me up. Me, being who I am, am absolutely terrified to tell this guy to f*** off. He was at least half a foot taller than me, and was way too bulky for me to fight back. So I suck it up at humor him, say hello. Before introducing himself or asking me for my name, he asks me out on a date. Not wanting to piss him off I try to make light of the situation and I laugh, telling him that my boyfriend wouldn’t like the idea, but thank you for the offer. He just shrugs and says, “He doesn’t need to know.”
At this point I’m scared out of my mind. There’s this guy who, after seeing me run two blocks to catch the train, comes up to me and has made it perfectly clear that he wasn’t going to leave without getting something out of me.
I deny him a second time, saying, “I don’t even know you’re name. We’re strangers, I don’t know you.” He finally introduces himself and asks me for my phone number. I tell him I don’t give my number out to people I’ve just met and he says, “Fine, but at least take mine so we can meet up later.” So he watches me plug his number into my phone (which I deleted as soon as I knew I was safe and away from him) as we’re pulling up to my stop. I tell him I need to leave and switch trains and he tells me, “Oh, I’ll wait with you. I don’t have any plans, so I’m in no rush.” It’s important to note what at this point he had previously told me that he was late to a job interview, but he has all the time in the world because he still hasn’t gotten what he wanted from me; a yes.
I get off of the train and he follows me, and waits at the platform with me for over ten minutes until my train arrives, asking me all sorts of personal questions about where I live and where I was going that day. As soon as the train pulls up he grabs for me and says, “Do I at least get a hug before you go?”
I was terrified. I was embarrassed. This dude, who before even asking me for my name asks me out on a date and then continues to harass me after I tell him I have a boyfriend, asks me for a hug only fifteen minutes after meeting. People around us were staring at me, as if I was being rude for denying him, and every inch of me was mortified. I wanted to run, but I felt like if I had done that he would have chased after me and things would have gotten worse. So I did, and he squeezed me so tight I felt like I was going to burst. It took me a good ten seconds to get him to let go and I ran to the train car just as the doors were closing. He was trying to get me to miss my train so I would have to wait with him even longer. I would have been stuck there for over a half an hour until the next train came by, and the platform (aside from the few buses coming by) was now COMPLETELY EMPTY. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing and he knew EXACTLY how to get me alone with him.
People, if you are in a situation like this do not feel obligated to give in. If someone is making you uncomfortable and asks to touch you in any way, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SAY YES. Make excuses, be blunt, just straight up say ‘no’. If possible, go to someone else near by who you think can help you and ask them to help you. It’s important for guys to learn that they can’t get what they want just by asking over and over again.
I got lucky. But not everyone does. Please, everyone, Be Safe.
SECOND STORY TIME
So I was on the transit bus alone one time. This was my first time riding, and so already I was PETRIFIED. I sit down, pull out my ipod, and begin to play some games. This guy sits down next to me, and begins trying to have a conversation. I don’t really respond, I don’t even look at him, just give half-hearted “mhm”s and “oh”s, as I don’t want to be rude if he was just striking up a friendly conversation. He then asks me on a date.
Now, as I stated before, I already was absolutely petrified. My heart stopped and I didn’t know how to answer. So I just didn’t. He didn’t let up and I could feel his eyes on me. I quietly stammer out a “no thanks” and my stop HAPPENS to be coming up, so I pull the string thing to let the driver know I want to stop there, and once we stop and the doors open I get up and he asks me, “Well, can I at least have a hug before you go if you won’t go on a date with me?”
This makes me break. There are now people staring, as we are the only people standing up and not getting off… So I just start crying. Hell, I am bawling almost instantly. He looks so fucking freaked out and people are now getting up to come over and comfort me/question him. I don’t stop crying, and he keeps trying to comfort me by touching me, and people are yelling at him for that.
AND THEN. AND. FUCKING. THEN. THE GOD DAMN BUS DRIVER. A VERY EASILY 6 FOOT BURLY MAN. COMES OVER TO US. PULLS THE GUY AWAY. AND KNEELS DOWN. HE THEN ASKS, IN THE MOST CALM VOICE, “Did you request the stop?” I very slowly and shakily nod, as I am still crying my eyes out. He then asks, “Do you want to get off?” I give a quiet “mhm” and nod once again, and he offers me his hand. I take it, he stands up, and he escorts me off the bus. He asks me questions such as where I was going next, if I was going to meet someone shortly, if I was going to transfer buses from there. He was very polite and waited for me to answer the entire time, and my friend (who I was going to be meeting there) showed up. He asked me if this was someone I knew, I said yes, and he said alright, have a good day. He then told me- and this is something stuck in my mind forever, so it is word for word-
“If some guy EVER starts harassing you like that again, do exactly what you did there. Cry. Cry and scream and have a temper tantrum. Not only will it throw him off, but it will get others to notice. They might not interfere, they might, but you will have gotten their attention and if you happen to go missing the next day the search for you will be a hell of a lot easier because everyone in that location will have seen you screaming and crying with a guy now very awkward with his actions. They will know. That is what my daughter did, and three days after she went missing she was back in my arms. I pray for you and every other person like you who has this done. You stay safe now, okay?” And after I began blubbering again, I nodded and he left.
So this is the second lesson for yall. If you can not have the courage to say no or make an excuse, cry. Let out those sobs and tears and cry your heart out. Because it is going to make people notice and make people aware.
Reblogging for that second story. This might save a life.
I just wanna note that bus drivers can be really amazing and good ones do look out for their riders.
Also, as an additional tip (in case you cannot cry on command or such), you can say, “No, because you’re creepy/creeping me out” and if he persists or tries to laugh it off, say “I do not want to be touched” and look at one of the strangers/persons that is watching.
It: 1. Gives them a sense of urgency in the situation, as the eye contact is a way to make them feel as though you are personally asking for their help and it is now their obligation to help. 2. Contains words so that if you’re in a public place but people aren’t necessarily watching, then they (as natural evesdroppers) can overhear the attention-grabbing words and then notice the situation. Note, this does NOT mean that they will come for help, but you might be able to look someone in the eye (as previously mentioned) or just get some people’s attention. 3. It shows that you have fight in you. As with rapists, those who are physically aggressive (ie. these huggers) choose women they see as an easy target. The moment you show them you are going/willing to fight them, they are less likely to continue. Sadly, this is not always the case, but every little bit helps.
Hopes this also helps, guys, and I’m so sad that this has to even be a post we need.
Dudes who follow me: 1) reblog this 2) don’t be the creepy guy who asks random women for hugs 3) be aware of your friends or random creepy dudes and call them out if they act gross towards girls/womem
Ok, I wasn’t going to comment about this, because there was no way of doing it without talking about a part of my life I really didn’t want to. But fuck that, there be young girls out there who need a hand.
So I used to be hot when I was young. I mean, model hot, because I actually used to model. Even now, I’ve let myself go on purpose because I was tired of the harassment. But I fit a UK size 6 with a pert ass from volleyball and a cup c breast. As you can imagine, I couldn’t wear anything or go ANYWHERE without being harassed. I sometimes even happened in church.
Anyway, I’m not a shrinking lily, and when I get angry enough I can do some crazy shit. So here are some of my coping mechanisms:
1) find a matronly looking lady, run up to her with ‘aunt may! I haven’t seen you in ages! ’ then whisper ‘please help he’s harassing me!’. 99.9 times out of 100, she will be scandalised and help you anyway even if she’s annoyed or in a hurry. If no older lady is available, find a younger one, or a nun, or a trans lady. We of the sisterhood know what it is to be harnessed, and I guarantee if you look frightened enough, they will help.
2) If you are out alone at night, and someone is following you, spot a house or apartment where the lights are on and knock, asking ‘mum’ or ‘dad’ or ‘john’ to let you in. Even if the people inside are annoyed, odds are they won’t turn you away, and you can phone someone to pick you up, or phone the police from a safe space
3) Make noise. Cry and scream loudly, call them out ‘i don’t know you and you are terrifying me! Please get away from me!’ if there are people around. Even if they don’t help directly for fear of their own safety, someone around you is calling security or 911.
4) speak a foreign language. If you know it, speak the language to them fast and incessantly, like you have just met someone you knew and you’re just giving the best performance rant of why your OTP is the best OTP. Make yourself ANNOYING. Think about what would be awkward and annoying to you and make it what you do to them. If you make them think YOU are something to get away from they will leave you in peace.
Now beware, the following ones are the CRAZY ones and may not always work. But they are a valid last resort:
5) stare at them. Stare at them like you’re hungry and they are a hapless deer you’re going to tear to pieces. Like yours the girl from the ring emerging from the TV to kill them. Don’t smile, don’t change your expression. DON’T BLINK. Hold their state like you’re Wednesday Adams about to do unspeakable things to a spider, and they are the spider. Even the most courageous of stalkers balk at this, but if they don’t…
6) Use the Hannibal Lector. After staring at them for and extended period of time (imagine all the things that have made you scared, imagine you could get revenge on them for putting you here, that’s the thought you need to have), if they are getting closer to you, whisper something like ‘i would fry your liver in garlic’. Even the hardiest ones will be taken aback, but keep it up while making sure you don’t let the others hear you. Things like, occult star readings requiring blood, wondering whether he is the offering the spirits sent. If you’re on this site you’ve read some weird shit at least once. Tell him that. Tell him you would like him to meet your lord, Vlad the Impaler, who requires much blood to be appeased. Be a stereotypical ‘crazy bitch’ like they see in the movies. Believe it or not, this has worked for me twice.
Above all, banish the notion that you have to be polite.
They were impolite by approaching you. If you can, ignore them. If you are not alone, pointedly put headphones in your ear, and don’t make eye contact, wait for them to realise that ‘youre a bitch anyway’ and move away. If you are alone, evade and find places and ways to fix that as soon as POSSIBLE.
And if all else fails, summon Satan.
Something I have learned at work:
Never underestimate the power of a good “EXCUSE me????”
Legit. It makes people STOP IN THEIR TRACKS. This is the one I whip out when people start swearing at me over the headset and always, without fail, they stop what they’re saying, shocked.
Go for offended, and go for loud. Not yelling loud, but giving-your-best-presentation loud. “EXCUSE me??? You approached me two minutes ago, I don’t even know your name, and you want WHAT? Creep.”
For one, the presentation will shock them. For another, that indignant tone? EVERYONE AROUND YOU IS GOING TO WANT TO LISTEN TO THIS JUICY SHIT.
Now the second key here is, DON’T LET HIM JADE (justify, argue, defend, explain). He smiles and goes “I just wanted–” FUCKING INTERRUPT HIM. Firmly. Irritably. “I heard what you wanted, and I’ve already declined once. Maybe you should go back to kindergarten where they teach you no means no.” Run right over the fucker. He’s not respecting your words, you don’t need to respect his.
A further note: if you’re an iPhone user, you can use Siri to call 911. (I know Android has a similar function, but I don’t know what it is–play with your AI and find out.) If you’re in a secluded area, this works well; I used to walk home from work at 2am and had to do it twice. Make eye contact with your harasser, activate Siri, and loudly, firmly say “Siri, call 911.” Siri will immediately reply “calling emergency services.” (It actually takes five seconds to activate, but there’s a Call Now button if you need it.) Almost ALWAYS the person harassing you would rather take off than wait for you to get a dispatcher on the line.
As they say on the podcast, My Favorite Murder:
Fuck Politeness.
This is NOT the kind of thing I usually post on here, but this is something that every female [or, every person honestly, harrassment isnt a one way street]needs to see. This is a fairly active blog, so I hope to see numerous reblogs.
I’m sorry cuz this post is already long but I have a story too
One time I was standing at the bus station when another girl came up to me looking frazzled, she says “see that guy over there, he just asked me for my number haha but I told him no” I forget where she went after that, I think she got on a different bus, anyway the guy whom she was talking about came to wait at my same bus bay, and he started trying to talk to me. He was shifty and dirty, probably on drugs. He told me I was beautiful. I got on the bus before him and he was in line right after me. The bus was still only half full. I really quick put my backpack on the seat next to me. He walked down and was like, “can I sit next to you?” I ignored him for a minute cuz usually they go away if you don’t answer. He repeated his question. So I put my hand on my backpack firmly to hold it in place and looked him right in the eye and said “No.” and everyone looked at me like I was really rude but eventually he moved on.
I can’t even tell you how many times that backpack has saved me.
It doesn’t matter if anyone thinks you’re rude, ladies, ( and gentlemen for that matter ) which they really shouldn’t if you’re denying some random creep access to you. Say no if you’re creeped out. Your safety is more important than their feelings or anyone’s thoughts about you.
I think we should all celebrate by taking a moment to appreciate Robert Pattinson’s attitude and I’m laughing so much right now.
JUST ALL THAT HE IS.
I mean
LOOK

Can Americans please stop saying that the UK is an Orwellian state? Sure. We don’t have guns. They aren’t essential to democracy. And yeah. We don’t have a codified constitution. But our country is still a parliamentary democracy. We still enshrine the legacy of Magna Carta, the Civil War, and the Bill of Rights. Just because we have different systems doesn’t mean that I am living in a police state.
@histxric Nobody really even thinks about guns when calling the UK an orwellian police state.
Look, I’m genuinely probably one of the most pathetically infatuated anglophiles on earth, but it really looks like that part of your glorious history is well in the past. British history is absolutely bursting at the seams with people – from the bottom straight to the top – fighting tooth and nail to defend their liberty, their personal freedoms, and their sovereignty, and I have spent blissful decades studying and reading about and learning about and obsessing over that history.
But that’s basically all been handed over wholesale now. Democratic principles and personal liberties in practice are not the same, and modern Britain is positively Orwellian. Modern Britons have little in common with their freedom fighting ancestors anymore when it comes to attitudes about rights and liberties.
FFS, when William the Conqueror commissioned a CENSUS, they called it DOOMSDAY – A CENSUS and record of property values!! – and the resulting compilation of records is to this day CALLED THE DOMESDAY BOOK.
– It is ILLEGAL to sell a KNIFE OF ANY KIND to anyone under the age of 18. Oh, but in Scotland – Robert the Bruce would be so proud – 16-18 year olds are allowed to buy cutlery.
– The UK has 1% of world’s population but 20% of its CCTVcameras. Britons are the most surveilled people on earth.
– Nearly 3,400 people were arrestedin 2016 for “offensive” posts online which may “cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another”. ARRESTED. Oh and that’s with under 70% of the departments reporting, so that number is probably really ~30% higher!
– A man was ARRESTED for asking a muslim acquaintance to explain the Brussels attack on facebook.
– A man was SENT TO PRISON for posting about muslims on facebook.
– People get IN TROUBLE for criticizing the horrendous, systemic sexual abuse of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of underage girls – including the victims themselves! – while the police do next to NOTHING about the actual CRIMES and even go to lengths to COVER THEM UP.
– The Snooper’s Charter is a LAW that data providers must keep all records of users’ online activity and make them available to several various authorities at any time without a warrant.
– London has an online hate crime division, specifically created to police online interactions. They are investigating people for such egregious transgressions as telling somebody to “bugger off”.
– Britons can be arrested and even extradited home for simply questioning the published numbers of Holocaust victims online… while in another country.
– The Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act allows local town councils to straight up SPY ON citizens, via phone tapping, hidden cameras, microphone bugs, monitoring online activity, etc., for crimes as innocuous as throwing out trash on the wrong day. Oh, and they use it to spy on innocent teenage girls in sun tanning beds, too.
– Journalists can be arrested and sentenced to up to 14 years in prison for obtaining, publishing, or even re-publishing leaked material.
– Teachers are legally obligated to spy on their students via monitoring their online activity, searching for terms related to potential “radicalization” – defined ambiguously at best, and often including innocuous assigned research.
– The NHS handed over the confidential medical records of thousands of people to the Home Office, without warrant, so that they could be perused for hints at illegal immigration activity.
– Almost forgot about the TV licence gestapo… who are basically mercenary bullies who trespass, kick in doors, break and enter, threaten violence… often at the wrong address, looking for a previous occupant, on people who have declared no TV, and even people who are actively paying. Oh, and that people can be arrested for an unpaidTV bill.
– AND JUST A FEW DAYS AGO, an internet comedian was CONVICTED OF HATE CRIME for teaching his girlfriend’s pug to do a trick to the command “seig heil” even though he made it incredibly clear from the outset that it was all just a joke. He will most likely serve significant jail time. For, effectively, a comedy routine.
How is the UK not a dystopian nightmare??
None of that has anything to do with guns, but it’s still pretty clearly a terrifying police state from where we’re sat.
Jesus :c
What a nightmare.
So I laughed for a good minute because this post was literally underneath this one
It is like watching a beloved relative die of cancer while popping winegums and telling you that they are the cure and that they are not even sick anyway.
How very disappointing that OP decided to delete the post and make a new account, rather than face the truth of the matter.
This encapsulates the cowardice that has beset the uk.
Keep calm and carry on dying.
Ok but i have a question…what if you just visit there? I visit about once or twice a year and dont feel like getting jailed for calling someone a poopyhead on tumble.com
I imagine it will be a while before they start booting tourist for their opinions…unless you are famous and make your living expressing opinions of course. They are doing that already. So you may have a limited window.
And all the while, the government run healthcare system is telling the parents of infants like Charlie Gard, Alfie Evans, and who knows how many others that they just can’t be bothered to properly diagnose or treat their children, and deny them the ability of taking their children to hospitals elsewhere to explore other options, instead simply saying the only thing to do is pull the plug on them.
