Women

There is not one woman out there who has not experienced unwanted sexual attention. A woman can decide to express her sexuality however she likes, not by how society tells her to. 

So, why is it when a woman shows her breasts it is perceived as obscene and provocative? Yet if a man shows his chest, it is perceived as normal? The double standards is absurd. If a man can show his nipples, then why can't women?

I believe women should feel just as capable as men; everyone should be equal. If a woman decides to show her breasts, she is not a 'slut', she is owning her body, owning her right to say no and owning the empowerment of not sexualising the female body - women are more than their bodies! It is barbaric to strip a woman of her identity and turn her into nothing more than a sexual object. Society sexualising breasts gives it that unwanted sexualisation; if a man can show his chest so can a woman! Breasts have no sexual purpose.

Along with society sexualising breasts, it is beyond obscure when people cat call women; it is not flattering and is unwanted attention. Men describing women as "thick" are words to describe meat; using language like that literally degrades women to nothing more than comparing her to a slab of meat, instead of comparing her to an intellectual. This type of behaviour is not "guys just being guys" it is sexual harassment.

Furthermore, within a sexual harassment, it is vile to blame the victim. "Were you wearing something tempting?" A woman does not have to be modest in order to be respected! It is never the victims fault. Women should be able to feel empowered in whatever we wear; a woman should be able to wear whatever she wants and not feel endangered for her life, it is actually disgusting that woman feel the need to cover up because of the unwanted sexualization labelled onto us.
