This is how you lose her.

You lose her when you forget to remember the little things that mean the world to her: the sincerity in a stranger’s voice during a trip to the grocery, the delight of finding something lost or forgotten like a sticker from when she was five, the selflessness of a child giving a part of his meal to another, the scent of new books in the store, the surprise short but honest notes she tucks in her journal and others you could only see if you look closely.

You must remember when she forgets.

You lose her when you don’t notice that she notices everything about you: your use of the proper punctuation that tells her continuation rather than finality, your silence when you’re about to ask a question but you think anything you’re about to say to her would be silly, your mindless humming when it is too quiet, your handwriting when you sign your name in blank sheets of paper, your muted laughter when you are trying to be polite, and more and more of what you are, which you don’t even know about yourself, because she pays attention.

She remembers when you forget.

You lose her for every second you make her feel less and less of the beauty that she is. When you make her feel that she is replaceable. She wants to feel cherished. When you make her feel that you are fleeting. She wants you to stay. When you make her feel inadequate. She wants to know that she is enough and she does not need to change for you, nor for anyone else because she is she and she is beautiful, kind and good.

You must learn her.

You must know the reason why she is silent. You must trace her weakest spots. You must write to her. You must remind her that you are there. You must know how long it takes for her to give up. You must be there to hold her when she is about to.

You must love her because many have tried and failed. And she wants to know that she is worthy to be loved, that she is worthy to be kept.

And, this is how you keep her.

I suggest all females watch this.

*i suggest all humans watch this.

THIS SHOULD BE REQUIRED WATCHING FOR ALL HUMANS

I’m a 17 year old white guy living in middle class America. I’ve never exactly been a supporter of feminism because that kind of thing has never really affected me personally. I don’t notice it and I don’t care about it. But in nine minutes this video has made what is truly a serious problem extremely apparent. Those “why I need feminism” posts or those slut-shaming or rape culture campaigns never convince me of anything. But this video actually did I think.

tl;dr This video kicks ass, just watch it.

Stop what you’re doing and watch this

“I’ve never exactly been a supporter of feminism because that kind of thing has never really affected me personally.” See, it kills me, because while I can’t fault him for this obviously, it’s a notion that so many men share. When the western world really does consider you the default to understand when your differences from that default become your niche, your marginalization. On one side, I want to agree that some folks just haven’t been confronted with this information and never noticed it before… but, today, when I see a resurgence of misogyny against third wave feminism, things like rape culture or the friendzone’s blame shifting, and other tools, I think… there really isn’t an excuse anymore for you to not have had this epiphany yet. I can’t really lend credit to anyone who says that they didn’t ever bother to seek out the truth before. We as a culture have moved beyond that now, and if you don’t understand already, we are running out of options to show you, especially when these things happen again and again on the news, in media, more and more flagrantly and yet despite an entire internet full of women still people seem to be shocked, hmm, I don’t know.

in cartoons, children’s programming, my field, the worst was when I was told in school point blank that despite master successes that cross or totally ignore the gender division like The Legend of Korra for example, the executive decision was the safe one that “girls will watch boy programs, but boys won’t watch girl programs” and as such they market in that direction. As much as we fight to bring equality and equal representation and fight for women to have any kind of legitimacy or to be taken seriously, we need the help of those on the other side to at least open their eyes and take a look without feeling like our standing up for ourselves is not a direct attack on you. Things like the jokes about feminazis and frigid bitches who must only be protesting their role in society because they’re too ugly to get a man to buy you things, that needs to end. I want to say that the closer you get to defeating a foe the more violently they thrash, and that this resurgence is only the overly vocal death throes of a dying cultural cancer that won’t be here long, but the biggest point of this word wall is (and I say this to all the men reading this right now)… just because you are a guy doesn’t exempt you from this battle. This isn’t just a battle of women, it’s a battle for women. You might be comfortable in your spot, but are you really? I refuse to acknowledge ignorance on these matters anymore. That excuse is gone in this day and age.

Anyway, watch the video, and watch the documentary- there’s more than one of them, I believe there’s actually a series.

My own mother doesn’t understand that these things are a problem, and that’s so fucking frustrating. I try to explain the issues about the way women are presented in the media to her and she tells me, “Oh, well, it’s too deep for me!”, like this is something she doesn’t have the time to think about or do anything about.

It makes me so fucking angry, because when she says that, it makes me feel like I’m the stupid one for taking it all so seriously, when I know that I’m not, and I get the impression that that’s part of the problem with getting this message out there successfully. If my own mother, another woman, is unintentionally making me, her daughter, feel stupid for taking feminism seriously, imagine what men who want to take feminism seriously have face.

Men are already told repeatedly that doing or being or thinking anything even remotely womanly is shameful and laughable - because being a woman is shameful and laughable - and that’s bound to be an enormous roadblock to making them understand how important this is. It could be that a lot of men have wanted to have an interest in feminism but they’ve been made to feel as though they can’t, because it’s a women’s thing and that makes it silly and inconsequential, the same way that fashion is considered to be silly and inconsequential.

I guess it’s kind of a catch-22; feminism is the answer to clearing this roadblock because it teaches us that women’s things aren’t silly or inconsequential, that it is not shameful or laughable to be a woman or to be like a woman, but we need to get that through to men before we can get feminism out there and into the mainstream.

Watch this fucking video if you haven’t already.

Calvin wins the game of life.
