Cat wrote a letter for those times you’ve been called a tease or a bitch by men with motives other than friendship.
This makes me so sad, because we (women) are brought up to be the gatekeepers of the sexyfuntimes and berated for leading guys on. We can’t let our guards down. We can’t meet a new, single guy and jump into being friends. Always, always caution and forever disclaimers. No person, regardless of gender, is on the planet for you. No one is obligated to give you anything. So if you receive kindness or love, or any manifestation of those things, they are blessings and you should treat them as such.
I love it when you approach me and
say something about my body or
something about what you’d like to do it
especially when you have the nerve to
walk up and touch it
I especially find the next part interestingyou guffawing at my nerve
when I tell you to fuck right off
I forgot I owed you something
Predictable: you say
“bitch”
and walk away
Deeming me useless
And no longer worth your timeAnother good one:
Even worse, because this time
you weren’t a stranger:
The few months we kicked it
and got along
And well it was alright
Friends are cool
Turns out you were expecting
me to eventually want to fuck you
and when I said
“what?”
You were angry
And you had every right to be!
You had spent months
tolerating a woman
And how dare she waste your
time by not wanting your penis
in her mouth or vaginaYou once again deemed me useless
And the friendship ended
Women aren’t worthwhile
Unless they’re putting out
Seems to be the general consensusThe perspective is mind-blowing
To write off half of the population
As girl-mechanisms
Here to compliment you
Here to listen to you talk about yourself
Here to fuck you
I mean you did treat her like a human and,
by god, you guys even got along alright!
And shit,
that means she
owes you her body
