Violet, 18 years old, Sone, Diamond, and Bana, blatant tumblr addict as I just described myself by my fandoms, somehow manages to be simultaneously an eighty year old crazy cat lady, drinking tea, knitting, and tripping over all of her cats, and a five year old peterpanchild, playing dress up and having tea parties. I’m a lost little girl who’s trying to find her place in the world, but somehow manages to always end up back in her own head, that’s always stuck in the clouds. This is my pastel, fairy, dreamy wonderland. It's not particularly interesting or particularly unique, but it does happen to be mine, and that's all I need it to be. Enjoy.

We were discussing homosexuality because of an allusion to it in the book we were reading, and several boys made comments such as, “That’s disgusting.” We got into the debate and eventually a boy admitted that he was terrified/disgusted when he was once sharing a taxi and the other male passenger made a pass at him. The lightbulb went off. “Oh,” I said. “I get it. See, you are afraid, because for the first time in your life you have found yourself a victim of unwanted sexual advances by someone who has the physical ability to use force against you.” The boy nodded and shuddered visibly.“But,” I continued. “As a woman, you learn to live with that from the time you are fourteen, and it never stops. We live with that fear every day of our lives. Every man walking through the parking garage the same time you are is either just a harmless stranger or a potential rapist. Every time.” The girls in the room nodded, agreeing. The boys seemed genuinely shocked. “So think about that the next time you hit on a girl. Maybe, like you in the taxi, she doesn’t actually want you to.”

Homophobia: The fear that another man will treat you like you treat women. Andrew Sullivan.
