Walk like you have back up. That’s what it means for men.
it genuinely took me a minute to realize this meant “walk sexy so they stare at your ass” and not “walk quickly and/or run because you’re in danger.” men are so fucking stupid and have zero conception of what being a woman in public is actually like lol
Every single woman who reads this immediately thinks, “Walk faster. Change directions. Surround yourself with people. Call your mom/sister/friend, tell her where you are, that you love her. Squeeze the keys between fingers tighter.”
That quote is either a warning or a threat.
Oscar de la Renta marketing team lacks powerful women.
fucking this. my immediate reaction was clenching my fists, just reading this.
I swear all the color drained out of my cheeks just reading this, my shoulders tensed up, HELLO ADRENALINE.
so i’d be pretending i’m on the phone and dropping hints that i’m a judo instructor. IS THAT HOW I AM SUPPOSED TO WALK, OSCAR? BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT I DO WHEN THREE MEN ARE FOLLOWING ME AT NIGHT
I ALSO START SPEED WALKING
GODDAMMIT OSCAR, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT’S LIKE BEING A WOMAN WALKING ALONE???
DO YOU ???
Literally did not even occur to me that this sign could mean anything other than a warning, until this post pointed out what it was actually supposed to mean. Jesus fucking christ.
Truth: One time I used the word “disingenuous” in a sentence and a guy told me he was surprised I knew such a “big word” because “most girls wouldn’t.”
Last night at work a man told me that I look better when I take my glasses off and I immediately replied that he looks better when I take my glasses off too and he got really angry and I think it was one of the proudest moments of my life
i was about to joke about how my political stance is “end lawnmower culture” but then it occurred to me that i actually Am against lawns as suburban status symbols and wastes of land that Could be used to sustain native flora & fauna and grow food for people, but no, instead they are these huge useless swaths of land that need Constant maintenance, the process of which is not only destructive, but Incredibly Loud
You know that actually is the purpose of a lawn? They started as a trend of the French monarchy – the ones revolutionaries beheaded for being self indulgent assholes.
It exists purely as a status symbol that says, “I have land but I don’t have to use it for anything productive. I can invest time, money and resources in maintaining an entirely useless crop on land I’m not farming just because it looks pretty.”
Lawns offend me.
Why have that stunted golf course in front of your suburban house if you can’t even water it? Get one of these instead.
Unite Against the Lawn
Pro tiny house, anti grass lawn. Prioritize practicality.
HOAs hate this sort of thing. One more indication that they’re horrible institutions.
Which is why, while we’re looking for property, anything with an HOA is discounted.
Also, WTF is this HOA crap? The US is all land of liberty and so on, then you get here and there are rules about what colour you can paint your house and what you can plant in the front yard? *looks hard at the US’s land of liberty credentials*
