Hey, so I have a quick question.

There's a lot of stuff in the news about women, how women are treated right now, and I

want to contribute and be a part of the conversation, but I'm having trouble keeping track.

Does anyone have a complete up-to-date list of everything that women are supposed to do

and not do so that they qualify for having their humanity respected?

Like, okay, I know that if women want to feel safe and public, they're supposed to

not dress a certain way, and then if they don't dress a certain way, and they still get

harassed and assaulted all the time, there are other things that they're doing or not

doing to earn a right to safety.

But what are those other things?

I'm having trouble keeping track.

I know that women are not supposed to sleep around all the time because then you're

a slut and you're the reason men hate you, but you're also not supposed to turn down

men's advances all the time or put them into friend zone because then you're a cold-hearted

bitch and you're the reason men hate you.
