1) It is PERFECTLY okay to talk about how beautiful a woman is. It
is okay for you to talk about how she’s so beautiful, or hot, or smokin’ or
even fuckable! that you want to fuck her for hours and hours (yeah, right) with
your amazing penis until she is converted to another religion and changes her
political views. Perfectly okay.
2) It is FINE for you to talk about boobs and pussies and legs
and feet and whatever else it is about women that makes you so horny you can’t
even think straight! Talk away! Have fun!
3 ) It is acceptable to talk about the woman you fucked the night
before and describe it all in detail to your bros. Women talk about that kind of
thing, too, believe it or not, with our friends. Woo hoo!
4) It would be LOVELY if you would also discuss the mind of the
woman you fucked the night before. Not the stupid fucking bitch you nailed, but
the hot smokin’ woman with the quirky laugh who was kind enough to let you
enter her body so that you could experience sexual relief. It would be really
cool if you talked about women in that way, because not only do we deserve it,
but it raises the level of our worth in society. It’s not required, but if you give a flying fuck about your daughters, it
absolutely should be.
Here is
what is categorically NOT okay, even in “locker room talk”:
“I’m automatically attracted to beautiful women — I just start
kissing them, it’s like a magnet,” Donald Trump told Billy Bush while taping an
interview for Access Hollywood. “I don’t
even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.”
“Grab ’em
by the pussy,” he added. “You can do any of that.”
When you hear “locker room talk” of that nature, you have
just heard and witnessed a PERSON reduced to a PIECE OF ASS. You have also just
heard a man discuss a potential crime. A crime that is worse than disgustingly
worse than any theft, because it is a complete disregard of a woman’s bodily
autonomy.
Follow? When another man in your presence talks about women
in that way, he has turned a human being with rights and thoughts into an
object. We all know you’ve heard it. Maybe from that acquaintance of yours … Let’s
call him Don. Maybe you’re thinking, “Yeah, Don is a disgusting pig, but oh
well, that’s just how Don is and what can I do about it?” But every time you give Don a pass on his behavior, every time you write his words off as “just a
joke” or “no big deal,” you are complicit in empowering the Dons of the world a
little bit more. They’re reinforced in their belief that women aren’t equal to
men. That we aren’t really people. That we’re just objects to be done with as
they please and discarded after they’ve ejaculated.
When that kind “locker room talk” happens in places when
women aren’t around, we need you to call it out and correct it. When it happens
in locker rooms, and on basketball courts, and when you’re playing HALO, and
behind closed doors in office buildings. Because every time you let Don, or
Harry or Bob slide on that behavior, you are complicit in putting women in
danger. Your mother, your sister, your daughters, your cousins, your female
friends.
Let me break it down further: When Don or Harry or Bob
thinks that it’s okay to talk about women like that, that’s it’s okay to think
about women as though we’re just jackoff machines covered in flesh, and that it’s
okay to treat women as such, then your mother, your sister YOUR DAUGHTER become
potential victims to the Dons and the Harrys and the Bobs of the world.
And that shit needs to stop.
