When I was 5 years old my mom told me that the boy, who pinched me in my kindergarten class did it because he liked me.
When I was 10 years old my father told me that the boy who pushed me on the playground did so because he had a crush on me.
When I was 13 years old my friend told me that the boy who ignored you around his friends but treated you like a princess alone did so because he was shy.
When I was 17 years old my sister told me that the boy who would sometimes hold my arm a little too tight or would lash out when he was upset, didn’t actually love me.
When I was 19 years old the police told me that it was my fault he was too rough with me. That I should have stopped him.
But ever since I was little I’ve been taught that when boys were mean that’s because they liked you. So why is it my fault I’ve been doing as I was taught. Why aren’t boys taught that being mean isn’t an act of love. Why is it the girls fault for not realizing he doesn’t actually love you.
Boys need to be taught that being mean does not qualify as love.
aggression is not an act of love /// t.f. (via allgedonic)
