Many of my pet peeves have been written down already, but I’ll add one more thing.
“ Men cannot be sexually assaulted.” Like, God, reading things like that makes me want to go on a rampage. It makes me so furious! I’m also not trying to start a war (of course), but a while back I was reading about people wanting a show to be shut down for their sexual assaults on their male guests (it came to light because one of the hosts pulled down the pants of a male guest) and in the comments section, someone had written (not word-to-word), “It’s all for fun and jokes. No need to create such a scene over it.” It infuriated me. If it was a woman, the internet would have been on fire. Why do people think men cannot be sexually assaulted? Why is it okay to touch men without their permission, but it’s a sin when it’s a woman? Whatever your gender is, being touched without your permission, especially with ill intentions, should not be okay.
As a woman, I agree completely.
