#socially acceptable

You know what I want? I want boys to stand up for themselves.

I want to see boys who wear fingernail polish the color of firetrucks and give people the finger when they say something sexist about it. I want boys who grow long ass hair and braid it and shit because they fucking can. I want boys to wear shorter shorts because fuck that knee-length shit. I want boys who wear provocative clothing because they like feeling sexy just like we do.

I want boys who interrupt conversations to remind misandrists that label themselves feminists that, just because there are rapists who are men, doesn’t mean men are rapists. I want boys that stop the tirade of hate raining down upon them just because they were born by reminding these women that they’re fighting against the same thing they’re doing, but vice versa.

I WANT IT TO BE SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE FOR BOYS AND MEN TO STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES THE WAY WOMEN DO.
