Lyrics: I'm a Barbie Girl living in a man's world. They think I'm plastic it's fantastic. They think that they can stare, undress me anywhere. "It's just romantic, stop being dramatic" I'm a Barbie Girl living in a man's world. I should feel lucky just being their understudy. I'm a Barbie Girl don't stand a chance in this man world. Imagination life is your creation. Come on Barbie let's go party wear whatever makes you happy. Come on Barbie need no army do whatever makes you happy. Come on people let's be real I'm not saying you're to blame. Come on people let's be real, the world is ours to change I'm a Barbie Girl living in a man's world. You're a Barbie Girl if not then it's still your world, to make a difference, it's our existence.
In my country one man said on TV that woman can't be free, and they exist to listen to Man and be their object, now he is the most hated Man in my country
Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women. And you did that. Thank you so much.
being sexually assaulted for years in my own household made my mind corrupted. i thought that making myself look ugly would change their perspective of me. but no, whatever you look like, if you're a woman or even if you're a man they would do such absurd things to you just to satisfy their desires.
I don't know how to comfort but I hope Allah gives you lots of strength and love that you rightfully deserve. Also Idk why and how would anyone assault a girl in the same house they live. I hope they get punished for what they did to you and never have access to meet or talk to you 💜.
At my old apartment complex, they hired security to scare off lurkers. One late night I get home and the security guard approaches me, questions me, and I think, "alright, standard stuff, just wants to make sure I'm not lurking." At this point I've confirmed I'm a resident, but he starts shifting the conversation to "are you single?" and "do you live alone?" and "can I come over?" He started pressing me for my number and I realized I couldn't give him a fake one because he was standing right there and he wanted to confirm I was actually giving him something. I went back to bed and held a knife under my pillow, just thinking because I couldn't sleep, scared of the possibility that he would waltz right into my place and do something really scary. As a guy it was this one experience that really put it into perspective for me how awful women are treated. Thankfully this was the scariest situation I've been in and it never really amounted to anything in the end, but it really takes tough skin and incredible mental strength to deal with this every single day of your life.
You probably would've been okay if you just politely declined. And ya'll might be surprised that there was a professional poll finding that most women don't think they're being approached =enough=. That's right, most women want to be hit on more. Be careful about listening to the biggest complainers on a subject.
1. She as an amazing voice , frickin amazing. 2. Her lyrics are awesome 3. She is so damn beautiful like a real barbie. 4. She knows how to play Piano as well.
Barbies are all mostly white blonde hair girls who are all skinny. There getting better by putting different races and like wheelchairs and different body types but still I feel like they can do so much more 😭😭 ( she is pretty tho :) )
“It’s just romantic, stop being dramatic” Exactly what was said to me when I tried to report a boy who was stalking me when he wrote me 3 page long letters in red ink and attempted to break into my house. The police said it’s just a crush. I was refused counselling. He also dragged me into an empty field and attempted to rape me when I was 15 and he was 17, when we were friends in high school. After that I refused to talk to him, he would show up at my first job and wait for me outside, send me letters and stalked me on social media. My mums reaction was “What did YOU do for him to act like this?!” It’s a pretty horrible feeling. I recently learned from a girlfriend of mine that he is a maths teacher at an all girls school. I don’t know what to do. I feel like if I say something now, no one will believe me, just like before. But if I don’t do something, what if he does something to a girl at his school? I feel myself slipping.
wtf thats so messed up, police are useless istg.. its better to still try, who knows maybe there will be a time where something will happen and you will save a girl's life
@@murdermostdownunder3562 stay safe and make sure not to confront him alone or make your not alone with him and confront him when you do in a crowded place so he can’t hurt you. My story with such toxicity by adults was only Limited to elementary and middle school. I feel so disgusted even thinking about it now. There was this boy that used to bully me and when ever I’d tell an adult or teacher the responses would be that I was being dramatic that he maybe wanted to be friends with me or had a crush on me and didn’t know how to talk to me. Like this boy was calling me all sorts of humiliating names and bullying me and I was being dramatic. It really sucks that society Validates such behavior, like I now know that he was young and immature but those adults and teachers should’ve sit down with him and talked to him how his behavior was bad instead of telling me to stop being dramatic etc.
apparently we're sharing stories here so, here's mine. i'm a 13 year old female born, non-binary person. i live in a pretty bad neighborhood. near where i live, is a seven-eleven, on a street corner. across from that on one side, is a liquor store, and on the other side, is a bar. so, one day, me and my best friend, we'll call her sarah, were walking to seven eleven to buy some snacks and coffee, to pull an all-nighter since we had a bunch of homework. so, we get to seven-eleven, and i can immediately smell some sort of alcohol outside. there's about 5 middle-aged men, all outside. all drunk as sh*t. i decide, it's fine, i've been here a million times before, and nothing real bad has ever happened. just some comments, english and spanish as where i live there's a lot of people who speak spanish and porteugese, luckily i know spanish. so, in previous experiences, there were comments, and sometimes i would get brushed against on "accident" or a few times i've had my a*s touched or my bo*bs groped which was "just an accident" which i would always just go home immediately. so, this one time, with sarah, we go inside, and i notice a guy in a green shirt following us around the store. it's a pretty small store, maybe 4 or 5 small isles. we walk to the back, grab 2 iced coffee's and i again see the guy around the corner. i have very good eye-sight, and she doesn't. i just pay attention to detail more, and can listen to multiple conversations at once (very bad adhd). so, we get the coffee's and i hear the guy say something. "ven aqui, ninas" (come here little girls) and i panic. she doesn't speak spanish, so i just cough slightly. "c'mon! let's go look at some snacks!" i say, and we walk to the snack area. we grab some snacks and then go to the checkout, and he's right behind us at this point. we hold a conversation, as he starts to touch my shoulder and back. i try not to make a big deal, and just keep talking with her, because i don't want to freak her out. he grabbed my *ss, and i flinched slightly, and he says "sigueme" which means 'follow me'. i just ignore it, and we get up to the checkout. so we pay for our things, and quickly start walking home. i notice, i dropped my wallet in the store. so we walk back, and i grab my wallet, and we go back home. but this time, i've bent over, and it's caused him to idk want to touch me more, because i was wearing a skirt. so we start walking back home again, but this time he's following us. so i start to talk and make jokes with sarah, to make sure he knows we're not scared, though she still doens't know what's going on. so we're laughing, and eventually, we make it to my house. i notice he's still following so i turn down the road and keep walking, telling sarah 'i wanna walk for a while'. she agrees, and we keep walking, meanwhile, i text my dad. *hey dad, somebody's following us, we need help. just turned onto belmont.* (street name). so he runs out and yells at the dude, who is clearly really drunk. we run inside and i explain everything to sarah who starts crying, apologizing for not noticing it was happening. we end up having dinner and i've never told anyone since then. this was about a year ago, when i was barely 12, maybe still 11.
I saw this on tiktok and the comments were absolutely disgusting, literally... But here, there are kind and supportive people which makes me feel more comfortable being a female and having to relate to this This is amazing tho ✨
Black women, white women, Asian women,American women when any woman speaks up we know she has spoken up for all women,from all races,from all beliefs. This comment section breaks my heart,I'm sorry so many of you went through all that. One thing is obvious,every woman ever has faced something or something with it. Stay strong, sending love and prayers!!
"It's just romantic, stop being dramatic" - sexual harassment and rape is not romantic. people need to understand. No matter what the circumstances are, consent is important as hell. People need to understand that. edit: A comment below said "and being of the age to even consent" - precisely
@@jacekstepinski5245 Sadly but just talk about marital rape and you will see that a lot of people dont understand sexual harassement and rape is not romantic
It truly is terrifying living in the kind of the world we live in today being a teenage girl. I am lucky I live in a safe area, but anything can happen anywhere. I just wanna say that my heart goes out to every single person, (mostly girls) that live in areas that aren't as safe, and people that have gone through scary things like that.
@@JeanDeLaCroix_ yeah, I honestly didn't think about that, girls were men's toys, and there were people like Jack the ripper that went around killing them as well
Yeah this is definitely the best it's been for women, it was much, much worse. Seriously bro I'd rather be a chick the worst areas now than the safe areas then
@@josephjoestar953 One should not exaggerate either, it depended a lot on the context. In the countryside, everyone had a hard life and women just had different tasks than men. In the bourgeoisie as well, women had power over the children and the home but no public influence. The real improvement is that now when there is a scandal we can act, whereas at the time I think domestic violence was considered rather normal.
I think the original barbie girl song was not unfemisint itself. I see it as a satyre, a woman playing into a man's view of her, the ultra-feminine and submissive eye-candy. Playing as if it's a happy reality when in fact it's "life in plastic" - it's fake. (This is not a critique of this version, this is really good!)
agreed, i feel like if you just listen closely to the lyrics you can easily interpret it as very satirical and actually a very sinister song clearly condemning what is talking about by making it sound ridiculous in the juxtaposition of the theme and the cheeriness of the rhythm. Kinda like "springtime with hitler" and such
I agree that to a grown-up might seem satyrical if you take a deeper look. But Barbie Girl has always been a catchy song for young girls and for sure they don't have the ability to see beyond the surface of the lyrics. And I don't think there are lots of adults who would consider either explaining the real message or just ban the song completely to their children.
@@mariacg8016 I guess but also, I didn't think a man could "undress me everywhere" when i was little. i took it literally and thought she was singing from a perspective of an actual barbie doll, who's clothes you can change in a middle of a scene you're playing - undress her everywhere.
Not even the song but Barbie herself was a really strong women. She was rich asf, had all sorts of degrees, by no means plastics, she was pretty, privilege, but also educated and extremely intelligent, she could compete with men and even out smart them and beat them at their own games, the main theme song may have been shitty but Barbie herself was anything but a fragile girl and could handle herself and would by no means sing such a disgraceful song.
Since everyone is sharing here it’s mine, I was 14, I’m 15 now, I was going to take out the trash, I noticed a truck with two guys in tit that looked at me to see where I was going, I tried to stay calm and go to just take out the trash and come back home, however when I was doing it I saw the truck again (since they were going at first the opposite direction, they had to come back again doing a complete circle around my village, that’s why I knew they followed me) I started getting really anxious because I was some minutes away from my house, I left my phone home and I was in flip flops (Trust me, u can’t run fast with that) I tried to be calm and then I saw when I turned around how the truck blocked the path (as they saw me going out of my house, they knew were I lived, and that still creeps me out a lot) as I didn’t know what to do I just ran pass them while one tried to catch my arm and the other was saying gross things to me, They thankfully couldn’t take my arm so I started running as fast as I could, when I got home I was crying, shaking and I couldn’t breathe because I was having a panic attack. Be safe please!! I'm okay now guys ty for the support!❤
Next time that happens act like you don’t see them so they don’t think your suspicious and your just walking home normally also call the cops and get there lisesne plate
When I was 11 years old I told my mom, there was a (adult)man following me and giving me inappropriate gestures. My mom scolded me saying I must have done something to get his attention and if I was a good girl I would have learned to hide my presence. So yah this is the word we live in.
I don't want to say anything bad to You're mom but damn, I feel very sorry for you. You're mother just isn't right, she's so wrong she has to understand her damn mistakes and make things better. It pisses me off when even parents sometimes are against you're problems and don't trust you enough. Fucking ridiculous
This person deserves to be the next singer activist. I am amazed by the thoughtful and powerful lyrics she has chosen to sing. Ps. Thanks for all the likes I really appreciate it 😊
the fact that so many women relate to this really is heartbreaking. As someone who doesn't, my heart goes out to everyone who's gone through this. I'm really sorry, you didn't do anything to deserve this, it's not your fault, our world is just cruel. " *You don't have to change a thing, the world could change it's heart* "
@@aishwarya5663 thank you so much for your kind comment! I can’t complain too much coz plenty of people have it worse off etc 😅 mental health is a battle though, love and light back to you and anyone else who’s going through it 💓😽
Yeah that was supposed to be the men or boys being like "it's romantic stop being dramatic " even when its something that ur uncomfortable with and its sad bc that does happen in real life
This is one of the truest songs I’ve ever heard. She managed to turn, in my opinion, a “man’s expectation” into an encouraging song. Just because you don’t think that you can make it in this world doesn’t mean that you should stop. Every female in this world has a voice and opinion and should share it. Who knows. Maybe you could change some young girls world by speaking up.
okey but this... no words✨❤️ "It's romantic"... no it isn't.. Boys... if she doesn't want it. She doesn't want it!! Start to respect women!, not break them.
Same goes for men though. I’ve seen plenty of women do the same but if the guy complains he gets made fun of for it. I as a women appreciate the women throughout history who fought hard for our rights but current feminism isn’t about equality it’s become “men are predators and should be hated”. I want equality for both men and women where our daughters AND sons can be treated equally.
just to let you know, the 97% isn’t out of the entire population. it’s out of 1400 people that took the survey. it’s actually 30-40% of a women that have been sexually harassed
@@sophshelx1943 its not just sexual assault. Its sexual harassment if ANY kind. Being cat called, sent nudes, asked for pictures, and alot more. So it is pretty much everyone.
" It's just romantic stop being dramatic " The saddest part is that I've seen many women saying the same . " Catcalling is just they're appreciating your beauty , stop being a snowflake . " I feel like smacking their head to make them see the truth if they're being ignorant about it purposefully , and kick those who harass them. Edit : Because I totally forgot about the point of how some are brought up to think harassment as " appreciation " and " it's gonna happen because you're a woman "
@@ROSIE-sp1wx cause those people only watch porn and Hollywood shows and movies filled with sex scenes. They don’t know how to be romantic. It is taught behavior. I wish people would be more open to Asian romance shows and anime. You will see that Asian romance is poetic and sweet, no sex involved. Only words and sweet actions. You got English subtitles because Chinese and Korean dramas are getting very popular overseas. Especially older women love watching those shows I saw. Edit: the comment under mine has nothing to do with the Asian dramas and anime romance. Those dramas and anime are open minded and even Boys love anime/Donghua and drama are getting popular in Asia as the romance is super sweet and the story is amazing! Example: Heavens official blessing(Chinese animation. You can watch it on Netflix). It is a Boys love(gay). Very popular in Asia and overseas in the West. Another sweet good romance which is popular overseas and the story is amazing: THE ROMANCE OF TIGER AND ROSE. You can watch it on UA-cam for free with English subtitles. It is about a girl who writes scenarios for series and suddenly she faints because of overwork. She suddenly got transported into her own novel and meets the handsome main character:a high general which is her enemy in the novel(she reincarnated as a villainess). Best drama ever, definitely watch it as your first Asian drama.
@@truehappiness4U But as an Asian living in an Asian country, i gotta say, here a lot of people, especially the older generation, see women who have sex before marriage as sluts. So that's not exactly a healthy mindset to have either.
They think that they can stare, undress me anywhere. "It's just romantic, stop being dramatic" This line is the most realistic line and the one that hit different
UA-cam algorithm is absolute shit that mostly favours content farms. This comment is not to be taken in anyway as a criticism about this particular video or channel but only as criticism of the algorithm
@@NWinchester1984 maybe and that's really sad. But you don't have to say every woman is in this situation (which is completely wrong) to make it important
@@NWinchester1984 there's probably 100's of millions of men out there who want to do sickening things to woman, but the way you wrote it is signaling that half of the human population is that way. Example: woman are manipulative. It's the way it's written that puts you in that category.
I hate those men who say “if I were a woman I’d take it as a compliment” like I’m sure most of us wouldn’t mind it if someone said we looked nice once, try having it every time you go out, feeling like you’re literally just something to entertain builders whilst they’re doing their work
I was catcalled when i was 13yo(5 time consecutively) by creepy men and they were staring at me and my hm , being catcalled by a goddamn old geez , what's worst it still is traumatisating me m 17yo rn i stopped going out since those days nthg feels safe anymore
Honestly as a boy, men have too much problem with girls because of them watching (explicit) videos and thinking they can just do it mess free. It needs to stop. It is terrible for this generation having places were they can post stuff and it’s so sad because of the cyber bullying that happens to young girls and with all the depressing music now getting exposed to TERRIBLE things that they should not have gone through. I’m 11 and I’m standing up for #equalrights
“It’s romantic, stop being dramatic” sexual assault is NOT a joke or something to take lightly. It is NOT romantic and you should NEVER take it. I’m so sorry for every person that’s had to deal with sexual assault/rape etc. No one should deserve that. Sending love to all of the people that have had to deal with it 🥺
@@nathan-rt9fe Love, I am sorry that happened you. You’re very strong💞 but they never said that women don’t do it, it’s just that 99% of the time it’s a man.
@@aaliyah4150 not really, a large amount of people who get sexually harrassed/assualted are told that they are being dramatic, or that they should've enjoyed it. it's a very relatable lyric. also being called a feminist isn't really an insult 😅 , "you think all genders are equal? you idiot"
@lalalalisa m I think what アリーヤ wanted to point out is that this line is nonsense and that Natural Bby x is one of the fake annoying feminists who don´t understand the concept of feminism and equality in the first place (one of the people who releases biased views on that topic). Regular feminism is good, unfortunately we suffer these days from "feminism" that practices a witch hunt instead aiming at equality.
I have no other words than "this sadly describes today's world". Thank you for making this song. EDIT: Of course in the past it existed too, I am sorry that I first did not mention that I meant that I find it sad that it still exists today and that that is why I just said "today's world". ❤
As a boy, I don't think it's fair for women to go trough this, no means no! The boys can't understand it, no it's not romantic! It's sad and broken! You break lives, but don't fix lives. You were carried in your moms belly for 9 months! She carried you strongly and guess what she's a woman! Not a man, you may love your mother, but why not others, what gives you the right to do that to other women? Everyone stay safe.
While I agree being a woman I want a world where my daughter can feel safer amd can be herself, but it goes both ways I know plenty of girl that do the same with men they don’t understand no means no and the difference a guy won’t typically get sympathy for the situation they’re going through they will probably get made fun of. Violence against men by women should be taken seriously as well (as it is on the rise)and not seen as a lesser problem. I want my daughters as well as my sons to be treated with equality and respect.
@@hanac5586 Yes but unfortunately the current feminist motion isn’t pushing for equality anymore. It’s pushing female superiority. Well at least here in CA.
I’m literally over here crying over the people sharing their stories. It’s so sad that i feel lucky nothing happened to me. It shouldn’t be a matter of luck. What a disgusting world we live in....
I really don't know if this changes anything, I'm a 12-year-old boy, and I'm proud to say that my generation, at least all the boys my age I know are proud to call ourselves feminists, and to support women and are disgusted by the way many men treat women, thanks for reading
As a 14 year old dude, I'm proud to say we absolutely despise modern feminism. It's absolutely outrageous and stupid. That said the concept of feminism at it's core is something we should've had forever. What I mean by that is feminism is slowly devolving into sexism against men. As a very defensive individual my reactions are a tad bit over the top but if you look at feminism anywhere you can kinda see it. That being said the idea of gender equality it beautiful.
@@jasminegrados3700 Everyone who gets this comment knows what you’re saying is just blatantly untrue. Men have been in power and are in power. They have always been powerful 🙄 Girl Power empowers women because they continue to show everyone else how powerful they’ve always been.
@@jasminegrados3700 uh no she's not. Men have been powerful for so long, when we equality we are not being anti - male we are saying that we want a society who respects us just as much as males
As a male, I was taught to respect women & to ask for consent by my mother. However I went to a christan school until I was in 4th grade, at this school boys were taught to NOT listen to consent. Women were talk rape isn’t real, and they should shut up about it. I am in public schooling now, and there are various boys my age who have that mortality. I honestly feel so bad for women who have to deal with this daily. You guys are so strong to put up with men.
i am currently in a christian academy school ( K-12). they never really said anything all they talked about was sex and just making children not talking about how men/women need consent to plant that seed or just have sex without planting a child. schools r so shitty with talking about consent it’s one of the things that needs dire recognition
there was one time where my dad was drunk and we were taking the train home. he's not a bad or creepy person when he is drunk which is good, but obviously, any drunk 40-year-old man in public will scare you. when he got onto the train there was a whole row of seats (there are usually 6 that go along the side of the train) and he sat one away from this girl that was alone. i knew he wasn't really going to do anything bad, but as a girl i understand how its common to feel uncomfortable around men, so i sat in between them
My dad was also a drunk, he would do things that were horrible when he was drunk but he was a great man when he was sober. He stopped drinking last year when he saw how toxic he really was when drunk and how it was effecting my family. We were scared of him. He stopped drinking and smoking in October and I am so greatful for it.
i hate it when guys will say: "why do people always make men seem like such perverts" and "why do people keep talking about sexism" basiclly being ANNOYED because girls are sticking up for themselves..
@@rl6321 did anybody say they don't? You're getting triggered by women standing up for themselves? You just can't stand that not everything is about you, not everything is about men.
@@rl6321 then make your own fcking post and stop bringing that up when we're talking about women because men have issues too but so do women and that's not an excuse to silence them. Also, most issues are caused by men wether it's men or women issues
Also I love it when people are like "oh there isn't any sexualising anymore" Like what? I want to know where they got the idea from that no gender gets sexualized-
I honestly relate to this song a lot. In middle school, this boy had a crush on me and I knew from my gut that he was not a good person. I was right. He found out where my grandma lives, and I felt uncomfortable, so I told the teacher in private. My toxic best friend (we are no longer friends, thank god) thought I was being dramatic and the teacher thought it was cute. All throughout middle school, he harassed me, stalked me, and even isolated me from the students. Once I got into high school, he somehow got ahold of pictures that were in my Snapchat account (and not from my phone camera roll), and my phone number. He threatened to come to my house and confront me because I didn’t want to accept his apology for what he did in middle school. I still get nightmares from what happened. I just hope I never see him again and I never ever interact with him again. Edit: Thank you guys for the support I really mean that 😊 I’m doing ok now. This happened a few years ago so I’ve moved on for the most part. I just wanted to point out that I decided to reveal something more personal for the first time because this song related to me in that way. Also, no one ever says that men can’t go through harassment, and just invalidating my experiences with sexual harassment and stalking is disgusting. Shame on you for that.
oh my gosh 😟😟 i’m so sorry that happened to you. you’re so strong and i hope you know that. i’m sending you virtual hugs and love. i hope things get better for you and that boy rots in hell and gets the karma he deserves. keep your head up love 🤍🤍
I’m so sorry this happened . Just know we are here to support you and love you and you are such a strong amazing person❤️❤️I hope you never do see him again and you should get a restriction order on him.
When I was about 9, I traveled to visit family in honduras. One night my cousin walked me home around 10:00 and the front door where I was staying at was locked and it was because there was a party. She walked me the backyard so I can enter from there but she wouldn't leave until she saw me go inside. While I was walking I heard someone call out for me being 9, I stopped and didn't think much of it. A man way older than me came behind and held my arms and I could get out of his grip. I heard a belt being undone but my cousin jumped in and I was able to run away. Apparently it was my fault. I was wearing a dress, at night. I was leading him on, that's what my aunt told me. For the longest time I thought that it was fault and I didn't really understand the situation. Now I do, and now I can say freely that it wasn't my fault. I just wanted to say thank you for the endless love and support I wish you all the best🤍
The fact that it waas your aunt. Another women that told you. Man, sorry that this happened but glad that you have realized what actually happened and arent afraid to share it
It’s absolutely disgusting that another woman would put the blame on you, a literal fuckin child, and say that it was your fault for wearing a dress. On another note, I’m glad that the disgusting man who did that didn’t get any further, and I’m glad that you ended up okay. Just remember you always have someone on your side, even if you don’t really know me I’ll support you :)
Hit me on a whole different level. I used to be Barbie-obsessed when I was a kid. My parents worked their asses off to get me the dream house, the different outfits and cars and DVDs. I couldn't wait to grow up and be just like her. Look like her. Dress like her. Now I do everything in my power to not look that way and after the age of 15 I never wore a skirt because of the encounters I'd had with men walking to and from school. I look at girls nowadays and hope they will never have to feel that unsafe.
Same. I’m not pretty, but I’m always sure to cover myself up so nobody can really look at me. And the bad thing is I just turned a teenager and people younger than me are being catcalled and it’s terrible.
@@Izzy-zw3vx that's horrible to hear that it still happens to younger kids. It was the same for me, I'd feel so nervous walking past groups of men in my school uniform and I still feel that way just wearing normal clothes. (Also don't be silly, I'm sure you're very pretty! everyone is pretty in their own way, beauty is subjective 🌸)
@@suna2317 yeah, my friend was just telling me yesterday that she had been catcalled and I was shocked. That’s why I keep my school skirt rolled down, just in case. Also, thank you! I hope you have an amazing day, and stay safe :)
You do not dress for men and what they done was disgusting. You should have been able to dress in what you like to wear and not be sexualised. You should have not had to change the way you dress instead men should learn not to be so entitled and egotistical, instead learn respect.
I'm so f*cking tired of some boys thinking that being hit on un consensually is fun and will booste your confidence it's not it makes u feel like a toy and it feels awful!!!
I agree.. I mean it depends on the context for me. Like a creepy old man randomly coming up to me on the subway or at work when I’m trapped is inappropriate. But if you’re dating someone or getting to know them and they hit on you then that’s of course fine for me.
I agree as a guy. Especially because most guys aren't even genuinely interested in you, and are just looking for an easy pump and dump, (unless the guy is genuinely in love with you, which is rare these days).
Just saw a 6 year old catcall a women on the street. Teach you're children to respect women.We are not objects,we are human like you,we have feelings just like you,we deserve to be respected just how you are.
@@Jake-eh5zl yh teach them to respect everyone but not a lot of people know how to respect women so teach them what they don't know instead of what they know.
Hearing men recognise and share our pain feels so reassuring ❤️ Pls use ur male privilege best u can to give women space and a voice in places where we otherwise lack it
Same, these lyrics hit me, showing how hopeless some people can feel in this men dominated society. The performance is also so great, her impressive use of voice really adds to the delivery of the message.
“Protect your daughters” Why don’t we educate our sons instead? I mean if my little brother (who is 11) understands the concept of respect and consent, why can’t grown men?
And thats where the fault is... the assumptions that most men does not understand the concept of respect and consent. To walk around thinking that the minority is actually the majority. Some guy got cheated on so now he feels every girl is a slut. Some girl got catcalled and now all guys are pigs. That makes both the guy and the girl idiots. The fact that some guys in the comments here even feel the need to apologize for what other men has done says a lot about how fucked up all this shit has become. Im very gratful for the fact that not all girls are the same and call me stupid for even thinking this, but i assume most girls understand not all guys are the same.
i just think that we should talk more about taboo topics as a whole. like, teach kids about consent and rape and why it's bad directly and don't just vaguely allude to it, that's stupid.
@@hannahlee5572 99.9% knows rape is wrong. Its not a question of they knowing its wrong or not. Its a question of why they do it and why they tell themselves that she "deserved it or wanted it" etc. These people have psychological issues and questions for how they ended up there is endless. Like.. nobody is questioning the psychological damage that may occur by cutting child's penis at birth. Could it in some cases lead to resentment and violence? Nobody knows and nobody cares because its part of the culture. Same thing with rape.. we think that if we just tell children not to rape its all gonna be fine. If rape is to be banished the society as whole need to change. Good news is that based on rape stats we slowly going the right way.
@@Xirus5 I totally agree with your first comment and I think this isn't said enough. Obviously there are some twisted people (male or female), but we shouldn't assume that because someone looks a particular way they want to harm us. Caution is sure important, but obsession over all men is pointless. Worst, it helps fuel improper thoughts of twisted minds while the majority is blamed and wronged for no reason.
I was about 10 when i heard that Song the first time and i remember i thought this melody has a melancholy within. This cover brings it to the surface, and the lyrics are awesome!
Since everyone is sharing their personal stories and being extremely accepting I was in love with a boy for 2 years, although he never felt the same way back. He manipulated me into feeling this way towards him and he was extremely controlling. One time I was at his house and he began to touch me. I began to feel extremely uncomfortable and violated. I pushed his hands off of me and clearly told him to stop. But he didn't stop he kept going. I felt like I had no power, and he had complete control over me. That day he sexually assaulted me. He made me think that it was normal, and that I did consent. Because of how much I liked him I brushed it over and pretended it was okay A few months later I was at a party in which I was very drunk. I had nowhere to sleep so I slept with him in his tent. I passed out of consciousness while I was with him. When I woke back up he was raping me. I was so scared and confused. I didn't know why he was doing it. Because of extreme trauma and dissociation tendencies I blocked this out of my mind. I didn't remember until 6 months later. Remembering was the hardest thing of my life. I blamed myself for months, tried to justify what he did and that he did because he liked me. At the time of remembering I was still friends with him and currently having sex at the time. As a form of self harm I continued to have sex with him even knowing what he had done to me in the past. One day I came to the realization that is was rape, and that it wasn't okay. I reported him to the police and my school as I go to the same school as him. The police told me "because I didn't make it clear at any point that I didn't want to have sex, it wasn't rape". I was unconscious, how could I say no. To this day, he has not received any legal consequences. I still have to go to school and attend classes with him in it. Everyday I am battling the pain I experience being near him.
You are very brave for speaking out. You had ever have to feel that way, it wasnt your fault. I dont know you, but its very frustrating that you still have to battle with his presence around you, that the people that are supposed to defend you (the cops) just reproduces and normalize that type of aberrant behaviors. Like I said, you are very brave.
Literally police can be so f//cking useless,, I'm so sorry that you have and still have to deal with this, I really hope things get better for you, keep fighting!! Also please maybe tell your principal he deserves at least some sort of consequence
I am so sorry you had to go through that and that the police didn't do anything, but I'm proud of you for reporting him anyway, I know how much courage that takes. You're a very strong woman, you got this. xx
Since everyone is sharing their stories here's mine- I was in a hostel with my parents because, my mum had some urgent duties in another state. Every year since the past 4 years she goes with us in may (excluding 2020). Since it was may this year (2018) I decided to go too. I had missed going in 2017 due to health issues. So there was a lunch room or buffet like area , you're supposed to complete your lunch and leave the plates on the table, I had finished eating. But my parents hadn't completed theirs, I was maybe 9 or 8 and my sister was maybe 4 or 5. Our rooms were in the upper floor, it really wasn't that far. I was too impatient to wait since there was a movie, I had left half watched. So I asked if I could go, my mum agreed. My sister also came with me, while going upstairs there was kind of a sitting place/ sofa. The room sweeper was just sitting on it, he was good in terms with my father. But I always got creepy vibes from him, he was kind of a nose poker and a possessive man, but I really couldn't do much so I decided to roll with it. So while we were going he called me and my sister and asked if we had watched some cartoon he was showing on his phone. It was some Christmas Eve song, I really don't remember. I said,"I don't remember, but we learnt it in nursery." And said that I was in a urgency and I had to go. Right then he pulled my hand and my sister's hand and forced us to sit with him in the sofa. I was really scared and felt something was off but I didn't react much. And be probably in his mid or late thirties with a daughter of his own. I kind of pretended on watching the video he was showing, then he slowly started making some really lewd comments like- "Your sister's kind of skinny, you're a bit plump you know. You should try to make you presense a bit unnoticeable, I think." I was already fukin' done with this man but I kept quiet out of respect and just mildly smiled and nodded. Then he slowly starts dragging his hand towards my shoulder and rubs it. I really didn't say anything, and thought it was an accident but then he slowly starts bringing his palm to my chest and rubs and kind of squeezes it. I was horrified. I quickly pulled away myself and my sister. He was kind of shocked and annoyed, he then asks if we want to watch anything else or we didn't like the "cartoon" he was showing. I refused politely but my sister was fussing and wished to see more of that song or smh. He was drawing her in again but I pulled her and said in a loud and angry voice to him "I have my own phone, she can watch in mine. No need." He was pissed of a was trying to convince my sister but I angrily denied him and returned to our rooms. He tried to follow but I quickly locked the doorand shut him outside. I'm still traumatized from this experience and when I told my mum about this( not the part when he was doing inappropriate things but rather just something else, he was calling us so and so) my mom blamed me and said we shouldn't have come alone.
Why are so many parents like that Like I just wanted a story time where some girls boyfriend cheated on her with her half sister and their parents allowed it that’s so cruel,like ho sis that right And so many people are saying it’s the victims fault,like how it’s our fault,I didn’t even know anything during mine does that mean it’s my fault for not telling my mom bc I was scared,like why are parents like this,thought they start crying and saying it’s the perpetrators fault when it happens to them but us is another story 🙄
@@ami-stars252 I guess the effects of ingrained victim- blaming, to the point they'd trash ever justifiable claim. I mean according to them before blaming the abuser the victim also needs to be corrected even if they are not at fault. But the irony is victims are held more accountable than the abusers.
I have goosebumps listening to this and hearing everyone's stories in the comment section 😭😭 y'all are so so strong a fighter , respect from the bottom of my heart 💓❤️💜 I'm proud of you
“It’s romantic,stop being dramatic” the fact that men still think this is ok scars me. And I hate how all the words in this song...is true it make me wonder what type of world this is oh yeah...it’s a “Man’s world”
When I was in 5th grade some random guy I didn’t know and who I can only assume was in grade 7 or 8 grabbed/touched my private areas inappropriately when I bent over to take a sip of water from the water fountain. I was really scared and when I confronted a teacher he told me “girls can be so dramatic, suck it up” And it took me almost 3 years to realize what had happened was NOT okay and wasn’t my fault in any shape or form. It’s honestly disgusting that a man in his 40s (this guy literally had THREE daughters and a son) Could say that to a student who’s just been traumatized, I can’t look at guys older then me or just guys in general the me the same anymore. (like I was even scared to get close to my brothers and step brothers for a few months after the incident) And people say to me quite often “it’s not a big deal that happened like 5 years ago” But I can’t just get over it bc I had to see the person who touched me everyday leading up to his graduation and the incident wasn’t reported to my parents I had to tell them myself, and when they contacted the school the person who we spoke to said “it was probably just a kid being a kid, sorry but there’s nothing we can really do about it since it happened a few weeks ago” And then now after all that went on in elementary school me and my friends get told often that woman/girls are living on a high horse and we’re just being dramatic when we say things like “it’s hard being a girl” or “life as a girl can be tough sometimes” Like come on. Society as a whole needs to reevaluate its view on woman and how some of us live in constant fear of, you guessed it. Men
I swear the same happened to me. I was in the 3rd grade. When I bent down to take a sip from the water fountain, a 5th grader hit my butt hard. I literally cried and he laughed at me and ran. I told my teacher but we couldn’t find him it all happened so quick I couldn’t remember his face.
I wish I could tell you it gets better, but it doesn't. That's why it is SO important that women become the strongest allies to other women! As a woman- respect women, listen to women, befriend women, and learn to trust women. Men keep us in constant competition with each other because our coming together is their biggest threat to their power over us! #womenunite
I'm so sorry you had to go through this :(( once when I was in class, wearing a dress(I was around ten and in third grade) and I was writing things on the board for fun cause we were all alone in class, I started hearing laughs and when I turned around I realized one older guy was laying on the floor almost between my legs so he could see my underwear and some of his friends were laughing at it, he wasn't much older but at least three to four years more than me, I remember running and crying in the bathroom, when I told my teacher she got so mad at him, his parents were called, mine too, but nothing happened to him thanks to the good old school advisor who just TALKED to him, and I couldn't wear dresses to school anymore cause he advised my parents that it would be better. Dispite that neither me or my mom felt safe anymore with me going on dresses so she wouldn't let me wear it anyways :/ I hate this memory but I don't think I'll ever forget it, I still feel sick when I think about it and I'm 18 already
its not about the length of the dress its about the length of mentality reading the comments i have realised how lucky i am to the girls who have gone through this i hope u r doing well sometimes i feel that internet is much better than the real world
it's definitely not my heart does go out to these people and the internet allows us to see these stories so I don't even know where some of these people live but to say it's better is wrong the people who are the worst can thrive in ways they couldn't it does also allows those that are good to be able to be seen more so that is a positive. The world I want to live in is one in which we can all respect each other without agreeing a world in which we all had the same opportunity and there is not many places like that in the world I want to be able to walk among people and just laugh and have fun despite our personal grievances a world where joy could flourish and people could be strong and get through life with no wars but that for the most part is a pipe dream and it's not even a little bit possible with people who generalize which happens no matter the ideology the idea that all men are evil is wrong and the all women are evil is also wrong and for some reason the internet you said was better than the world says one of these is right and one is wrong when both are wrong. Sorry for the rant I needed to get this off my chest sorry it was your comment I chose to rant
It is difficult to live with PTSD due to my sexual assult of 3 years . But we just never give up . I also got boys who were corrupt in the name of love.😣 Sometimes it literally feels no hope... But we just never give up . We ourselves don't know why . I can't expect other men to protect us anymore. I govern my body . I will guard me . And i will not let any mfs hurt me again ! My softgirl personality died yesterday and only the man who is safe will only see my true self .
@@divinefeminine9474 feel sorry for you. I know how it feels when you are sexually assaulted. I know how it feels when you truly love someone and they are only using you.
@@afghankitchen2626 "man's world" because idk about you, but I definitely would not consider this modern day where a man can be stomped on and have his life ruined for simply being a man and being mixed up in the wrong thing with the wrong people a man's world, not to mention the fact that when it comes to politics, idk about where you live but where I live there are quite a couple women that are in the government and hold very important positions in other places, as well as in history that have made great changes, as well as the fact that society is constantly changing and people are more commonly coming out and pointing out things that men have been doing and some even slandering those that have not done anything, and these people are getting away with it, and the men ruined, that's what "isn't real." This isn't a man's world unless you make it a man's world
i used to always think that the line "undress me anywhere" was a weird line for a song for a toy like that. and now when u sing it. It now makes me feel filled with immense guilt for no reason. It just shows how great of a singer u are to be able to give off the vibes you're trying to send successfully.
I woke up from my sleep cause it seemed like my brain wanted to uncover a vague memory of sexual harrassment i had from 4 years ago. Then i open youtube and find this first thing on my recommendation. The universe is on to me.
@@souminda that isnt a super good thing to ask so bluntly, it could be triggering for them to talk about it,, i dont think you meant it in a bad way, jus please be more conscious about who your audience is
The crazy thing is that the world was ALWAYS like this, especially in 1997 when the original was released. It's just being vocalized now and thank god for that.
I think this was pretty much the subtext of the original, underneath an ironic layer of shiny pop (although being a pre-teen at the time, I didn't recognize that the irony was ironic).
"stop being dramatic" That's what my bestfriend told me when I was mad at a group of guys in our school, who were sexualizing a girl, in a group chat. Imagine NOT supporting a woman just because she's is not your friend. It breaks my heart that so many young, beautiful souls have went through traumatizing things. But what's even more painful is the society not supporting them or standing by their side. Let's stand for eachother💛
Nobody deserves that, friend or foe, or anywhere in between. We don't build bridges by shutting people out, you are so right. It took me a long time to really learn what I feel, and I know that what I feel is that everyone is worthy of help. Everyone. The best way to help them change or become a better person is to be kind. As a wise woman once said. "Kill 'em with kindness" - Selena Gomez
To be fair "sexualization" is a natural thing that just happens regardless of sex. Women sexualize men and other women ALL of the time and even sexualize themselves on any social media platform they can in the guise of pride. On top of that, they do it in tv shows, movies, and even music. Personally, I don't see the appeal in all of it but to only blame boys and men is ridiculous.
That's Boy/Men talk. That's why women should have their own group of girl groups and guys have their own group. You can't tell men what to do or what to think. That's great and all but worry about you and you only.
@@NunYaBiz1313 i don't understand. Are you telling me that they have the right to sexualize a girl, just because she wore a skirt or because she had a few guy friends? I don't think anyone deserves that. Boy talk or whatever, being disrespectful is not cool.
Trigger Warning: I was assaulted when I was 6 years old by an 11-12-year-old boy. I was in an after-school club playing alone in the sand underneath a playground. This boy I have never interacted with before kept adding sand in my underwear and would "clean it". He did this repeatedly. I was confused and scared I tried crawling out of the playground but he kept pulling me back in. I couldn't scream or yell because I was so shocked and nervous. I was even more disturbed by the fact that he kept sniffing his hands. It's terrible. I had no idea I would still be affected even until now but I still have trust issues. I have not told anyone about this because when I did a few years ago (I am now 21) they said: "Oh, he was just curious haha don't be caught up on that it was years ago. He was just a kid".
Oh wow, I was very scared to tell anyone my story because of the stigma that surrounds minor sexual harassers. Especially ones that are not even teenagers. I’m not sure I can blame a little kid anymore, but I can say it caused me some trauma that I decided to bury. I was also 6 years old and this kid was 9-10. I can’t really process how such a young kid can even think of doing this but it happened and it was scary. Especially when I knew nothing about what he was doing and now when I know, I’m ashamed. I know I shouldn’t be and I don’t blame myself, but I’m ashamed such things happened to me.
I'm so sorry. I just wanted to say that I work with children and that is not normal kid behaviour at all and defiantly not for a 12-year-old! From when children can talk they learn about everyone having private parts and they understand the importance of them being private. This is not natural curiosity, at any age. Your feelings a completely valid and he has no excuse!
These lyrics are powerful. Once at school, some shaved ice truck came. I placed my backpack down where I was standing, and I knew nobody would care if I just left for a second to check the prices. So as I'm looking at prices and seeing which I wanted to purchase, I hear a boy say "Wow, she has an ass..". That grossed me out so much, but I'm not the type of person who likes to confront people, especially since so many people get hurt doing so. I just left and went back into my spot. I wouldn't forget that, cause it was absolutely disgusting. Honestly hate the world we live in.
While I was on the street, a man looked at me and my cousin, and it was terrible. Who knows what went through his mind. Almost every girl experiences this. I hate men. I never trust them, even if I don't know if they're good or bad.
Once when I was 12, I went somewhere (with my mom tho) and while walking back home, I was walking many steps ahead of my mom and there was a man on the street who was going the other way, he started staring at me! I didn't know why, I felt so awkward! Luckily my mom noticed all that and came rushing towards me, then that man just looked away!
this song makes me cry everytime i listen to it. i’ve been harassed at work, chased, coerced, blackmailed, slut-shamed, attacked and punched by men... sometimes i feel like i have no chance here but it’s still my world and i’m gonna fight for it no matter what
Here is mine- i was just 5 or 6 at that time and me and my mom went to our neighbours house there was a guy nearly 15 to 16 years of age ..i used to usually play with him a lot...one day he took me to his room he told me he would tell me a secret and i should not tell this to my mom and since i was a kid and loved surprises i promised not to ...he threw me to his bed and literally kissed me..i couldn't do anything cause i was just to small, after that i went to mom and while we were going back i told my mom about it...i am 14 now and what hurts is i still have to see him sometimes in my neighborhood and i should not tell this to anyone because our society will think i am the bad person in this ..he is still free i never spoke to anyone about this but since people here are so nice i decided to share while writting this, tears are rolling down my cheecks but i am helpless because our society is very bad...... You find nice people here in comment sections but where are these angels in real world..it still hurts the fuck out of me ...
(Sorry for bad grammar, I'm french) Iam really sorry for all the people that got sexually harassed. I give all my support and want you to know that you are not alone to face theses situations. I was a witness of one of them. My sister was 15. I was 11 at the time, and my family always said that I was very mature for my age. I knew about sexual harassments and what act were considered one of them. My family were on a vacation to Quebec, and we were downtown walking to a restaurant. There was alot of people and the sidewalks were narrow. My sister and my parents we're walking in front talking while I was following them from behind. Then I noticed an old man walking behind me STARRING at my sister's "curves". She was wearing a skirt that stopped at her knees and he was slowly tilting his head forward to "see more". I wanted to STRANGLE him. He looked like he was having a good time. I didn't know exactly what to do, because screaming at him would've attracted everyone's attention and made the situation worse. Again, I was 11. So I decided to stare at him directly at his eyes with a deathly stare without looking away a second. Seconds later, when his eyes met mines, he jumped a little, and then he looked at me troubled. After he froze, and rolled his eyes. Then we arrived, so he continued his way. I told my mom everything right after we went in. My sister was frustrated that he starred at her like that, but she was glad that I had the courage to scare him away. My parents were so proud of me, and they bought me an ice-cream. I couldve done more than just stare at him. But I was young. When you see anyone getting sexually harassed, help them. You wouldn't want that to happen to you, wouldn't you? Make a difference. I mean this.
That honestly reminds me of my dad a bit. NOT THE YOUNG GIRL PART! But just the constant staring at woman and following with his eyes. And all the comments about people's appearances. Its honstely exhausting. And I just don't get it. It could be just because I'm asexual but people could still have respect. It's just really gross
Wow I'm sorry that happened, that's disgusting what he did, but IM SO FREAKING PROUD OF U FOR DOING THAT, and don't apologize, u don't need perfect English and that was rly good grammar good job! Stay safe💗
1. You deserved that ice cream 2. Your not one of those vegans who say “how would you feel if you were a pig” Humans have advanced thinking, saying “how would you feel” makes sense in your case because humans are capable of thinking to an advanced degree and it just works Sorry mate I just don’t like when extremist vegans say that

At my old apartment complex, they hired security to scare off lurkers. One late night I get home and the security guard approaches me, questions me, and I think, "alright, standard stuff, just wants to make sure I'm not lurking." At this point I've confirmed I'm a resident, but he starts shifting the conversation to "are you single?" and "do you live alone?" and "can I come over?" He started pressing me for my number and I realized I couldn't give him a fake one because he was standing right there and he wanted to confirm I was actually giving him something. I went back to bed and held a knife under my pillow, just thinking because I couldn't sleep, scared of the possibility that he would waltz right into my place and do something really scary.
As a guy it was this one experience that really put it into perspective for me how awful women are treated. Thankfully this was the scariest situation I've been in and it never really amounted to anything in the end, but it really takes tough skin and incredible mental strength to deal with this every single day of your life.
the truth sets you free but first...it pisses you off
😔😔😣it's painful 😭
I’m so sorry you had to experience that :( That’s so messed up
You probably would've been okay if you just politely declined.
And ya'll might be surprised that there was a professional poll finding that most women don't think they're being approached =enough=. That's right, most women want to be hit on more. Be careful about listening to the biggest complainers on a subject.

2. Her lyrics are awesome
3. She is so damn beautiful like a real barbie.
4. She knows how to play Piano as well.

Hi ArmyBlink💜🖤💗
“It’s just romantic, stop being dramatic”
Exactly what was said to me when I tried to report a boy who was stalking me when he wrote me 3 page long letters in red ink and attempted to break into my house. The police said it’s just a crush. I was refused counselling. He also dragged me into an empty field and attempted to rape me when I was 15 and he was 17, when we were friends in high school. After that I refused to talk to him, he would show up at my first job and wait for me outside, send me letters and stalked me on social media. My mums reaction was “What did YOU do for him to act like this?!” It’s a pretty horrible feeling. I recently learned from a girlfriend of mine that he is a maths teacher at an all girls school. I don’t know what to do. I feel like if I say something now, no one will believe me, just like before. But if I don’t do something, what if he does something to a girl at his school? I feel myself slipping.
😭
Oh my god I'm so sorry, I'm here if you wanna talk ❤️
wtf thats so messed up, police are useless istg.. its better to still try, who knows maybe there will be a time where something will happen and you will save a girl's life
Thanks for the response everyone. I’ll be going back to my home town in December and I’m planning on confronting him.
@@murdermostdownunder3562 stay safe and make sure not to confront him alone or make your not alone with him and confront him when you do in a crowded place so he can’t hurt you.
My story with such toxicity by adults was only Limited to elementary and middle school. I feel so disgusted even thinking about it now. There was this boy that used to bully me and when ever I’d tell an adult or teacher the responses would be that I was being dramatic that he maybe wanted to be friends with me or had a crush on me and didn’t know how to talk to me. Like this boy was calling me all sorts of humiliating names and bullying me and I was being dramatic. It really sucks that society Validates such behavior, like I now know that he was young and immature but those adults and teachers should’ve sit down with him and talked to him how his behavior was bad instead of telling me to stop being dramatic etc.
apparently we're sharing stories here so, here's mine.
i'm a 13 year old female born, non-binary person. i live in a pretty bad neighborhood. near where i live, is a seven-eleven, on a street corner. across from that on one side, is a liquor store, and on the other side, is a bar. so, one day, me and my best friend, we'll call her sarah, were walking to seven eleven to buy some snacks and coffee, to pull an all-nighter since we had a bunch of homework. so, we get to seven-eleven, and i can immediately smell some sort of alcohol outside. there's about 5 middle-aged men, all outside. all drunk as sh*t. i decide, it's fine, i've been here a million times before, and nothing real bad has ever happened. just some comments, english and spanish as where i live there's a lot of people who speak spanish and porteugese, luckily i know spanish. so, in previous experiences, there were comments, and sometimes i would get brushed against on "accident" or a few times i've had my a*s touched or my bo*bs groped which was "just an accident" which i would always just go home immediately.
so, this one time, with sarah, we go inside, and i notice a guy in a green shirt following us around the store. it's a pretty small store, maybe 4 or 5 small isles. we walk to the back, grab 2 iced coffee's and i again see the guy around the corner. i have very good eye-sight, and she doesn't. i just pay attention to detail more, and can listen to multiple conversations at once (very bad adhd). so, we get the coffee's and i hear the guy say something. "ven aqui, ninas" (come here little girls) and i panic. she doesn't speak spanish, so i just cough slightly. "c'mon! let's go look at some snacks!" i say, and we walk to the snack area. we grab some snacks and then go to the checkout, and he's right behind us at this point. we hold a conversation, as he starts to touch my shoulder and back. i try not to make a big deal, and just keep talking with her, because i don't want to freak her out. he grabbed my *ss, and i flinched slightly, and he says "sigueme" which means 'follow me'. i just ignore it, and we get up to the checkout. so we pay for our things, and quickly start walking home. i notice, i dropped my wallet in the store. so we walk back, and i grab my wallet, and we go back home. but this time, i've bent over, and it's caused him to idk want to touch me more, because i was wearing a skirt. so we start walking back home again, but this time he's following us. so i start to talk and make jokes with sarah, to make sure he knows we're not scared, though she still doens't know what's going on. so we're laughing, and eventually, we make it to my house. i notice he's still following so i turn down the road and keep walking, telling sarah 'i wanna walk for a while'. she agrees, and we keep walking, meanwhile, i text my dad. *hey dad, somebody's following us, we need help. just turned onto belmont.* (street name). so he runs out and yells at the dude, who is clearly really drunk. we run inside and i explain everything to sarah who starts crying, apologizing for not noticing it was happening. we end up having dinner and i've never told anyone since then. this was about a year ago, when i was barely 12, maybe still 11.

"It's just romantic,
stop being dramatic" - sexual harassment and rape is not romantic. people need to understand. No matter what the circumstances are, consent is important as hell. People need to understand that.
edit: A comment below said "and being of the age to even consent" - precisely
I think all normal people understand that. Unfortunately there will always be a group of some fucked up individuals with distorted view of reality

Seriously bro I'd rather be a chick the worst areas now than the safe areas then
@@josephjoestar953 One should not exaggerate either, it depended a lot on the context. In the countryside, everyone had a hard life and women just had different tasks than men. In the bourgeoisie as well, women had power over the children and the home but no public influence. The real improvement is that now when there is a scandal we can act, whereas at the time I think domestic violence was considered rather normal.
I think the original barbie girl song was not unfemisint itself. I see it as a satyre, a woman playing into a man's view of her, the ultra-feminine and submissive eye-candy. Playing as if it's a happy reality when in fact it's "life in plastic" - it's fake.
(This is not a critique of this version, this is really good!)
agreed, i feel like if you just listen closely to the lyrics you can easily interpret it as very satirical and actually a very sinister song clearly condemning what is talking about by making it sound ridiculous in the juxtaposition of the theme and the cheeriness of the rhythm. Kinda like "springtime with hitler" and such
It's a facetious song that is a joke on what it was to be a pop star at the time.
I agree that to a grown-up might seem satyrical if you take a deeper look. But Barbie Girl has always been a catchy song for young girls and for sure they don't have the ability to see beyond the surface of the lyrics. And I don't think there are lots of adults who would consider either explaining the real message or just ban the song completely to their children.
@@mariacg8016 I guess but also, I didn't think a man could "undress me everywhere" when i was little. i took it literally and thought she was singing from a perspective of an actual barbie doll, who's clothes you can change in a middle of a scene you're playing - undress her everywhere.
Not even the song but Barbie herself was a really strong women. She was rich asf, had all sorts of degrees, by no means plastics, she was pretty, privilege, but also educated and extremely intelligent, she could compete with men and even out smart them and beat them at their own games, the main theme song may have been shitty but Barbie herself was anything but a fragile girl and could handle herself and would by no means sing such a disgraceful song.
Since everyone is sharing here it’s mine, I was 14, I’m 15 now, I was going to take out the trash, I noticed a truck with two guys in tit that looked at me to see where I was going, I tried to stay calm and go to just take out the trash and come back home, however when I was doing it I saw the truck again (since they were going at first the opposite direction, they had to come back again doing a complete circle around my village, that’s why I knew they followed me) I started getting really anxious because I was some minutes away from my house, I left my phone home and I was in flip flops (Trust me, u can’t run fast with that) I tried to be calm and then I saw when I turned around how the truck blocked the path (as they saw me going out of my house, they knew were I lived, and that still creeps me out a lot) as I didn’t know what to do I just ran pass them while one tried to catch my arm and the other was saying gross things to me, They thankfully couldn’t take my arm so I started running as fast as I could, when I got home I was crying, shaking and I couldn’t breathe because I was having a panic attack. Be safe please!! I'm okay now guys ty for the support!❤

This is one of the truest songs I’ve ever heard. She managed to turn, in my opinion, a “man’s expectation” into an encouraging song. Just because you don’t think that you can make it in this world doesn’t mean that you should stop. Every female in this world has a voice and opinion and should share it. Who knows. Maybe you could change some young girls world by speaking up.
okey but this... no words✨❤️
"It's romantic"... no it isn't.. Boys... if she doesn't want it. She doesn't want it!! Start to respect women!, not break them.

Right. And if she really does the hard to get then don't get her. There are so many people to love you without wanting you to proove something stupid.
I made it exactly 1k :)
only respect women that deserve it. but still, respect her boundaries.
Same goes for men though. I’ve seen plenty of women do the same but if the guy complains he gets made fun of for it. I as a women appreciate the women throughout history who fought hard for our rights but current feminism isn’t about equality it’s become “men are predators and should be hated”. I want equality for both men and women where our daughters AND sons can be treated equally.
“You’re a barbie girl if not then it’s still your world to make a difference” that part is about 3% of the women and girls

The saddest part is that I've seen many women saying the same . " Catcalling is just they're appreciating your beauty , stop being a snowflake . "
I feel like smacking their head to make them see the truth if they're being ignorant about it purposefully , and kick those who harass them.
Edit : Because I totally forgot about the point of how some are brought up to think harassment as " appreciation " and " it's gonna happen because you're a woman "

@@ROSIE-sp1wx cause those people only watch porn and Hollywood shows and movies filled with sex scenes. They don’t know how to be romantic. It is taught behavior. I wish people would be more open to Asian romance shows and anime. You will see that Asian romance is poetic and sweet, no sex involved. Only words and sweet actions. You got English subtitles because Chinese and Korean dramas are getting very popular overseas. Especially older women love watching those shows I saw. Edit: the comment under mine has nothing to do with the Asian dramas and anime romance. Those dramas and anime are open minded and even Boys love anime/Donghua and drama are getting popular in Asia as the romance is super sweet and the story is amazing! Example: Heavens official blessing(Chinese animation. You can watch it on Netflix). It is a Boys love(gay). Very popular in Asia and overseas in the West. Another sweet good romance which is popular overseas and the story is amazing: THE ROMANCE OF TIGER AND ROSE. You can watch it on UA-cam for free with English subtitles. It is about a girl who writes scenarios for series and suddenly she faints because of overwork. She suddenly got transported into her own novel and meets the handsome main character:a high general which is her enemy in the novel(she reincarnated as a villainess). Best drama ever, definitely watch it as your first Asian drama.
@@truehappiness4U But as an Asian living in an Asian country, i gotta say, here a lot of people, especially the older generation, see women who have sex before marriage as sluts. So that's not exactly a healthy mindset to have either.

Women were talk rape isn’t real, and they should shut up about it. I am in public schooling now, and there are various boys my age who have that mortality. I honestly feel so bad for women who have to deal with this daily. You guys are so strong to put up with men.

there was one time where my dad was drunk and we were taking the train home. he's not a bad or creepy person when he is drunk which is good, but obviously, any drunk 40-year-old man in public will scare you. when he got onto the train there was a whole row of seats (there are usually 6 that go along the side of the train) and he sat one away from this girl that was alone. i knew he wasn't really going to do anything bad, but as a girl i understand how its common to feel uncomfortable around men, so i sat in between them
that was incredible of you
@@sumedhasquared yup! hopefully something like this won't happen again

My dad was also a drunk, he would do things that were horrible when he was drunk but he was a great man when he was sober. He stopped drinking last year when he saw how toxic he really was when drunk and how it was effecting my family. We were scared of him. He stopped drinking and smoking in October and I am so greatful for it.

i hate it when guys will say: "why do people always make men seem like such perverts" and "why do people keep talking about sexism" basiclly being ANNOYED because girls are sticking up for themselves..

@@rl6321 then make your own fcking post and stop bringing that up when we're talking about women because men have issues too but so do women and that's not an excuse to silence them. Also, most issues are caused by men wether it's men or women issues

Like what?
I want to know where they got the idea from that no gender gets sexualized-
The power to express feelings through a song and lyrics is really awesome,thank you for posting this.
I honestly relate to this song a lot. In middle school, this boy had a crush on me and I knew from my gut that he was not a good person. I was right. He found out where my grandma lives, and I felt uncomfortable, so I told the teacher in private. My toxic best friend (we are no longer friends, thank god) thought I was being dramatic and the teacher thought it was cute. All throughout middle school, he harassed me, stalked me, and even isolated me from the students. Once I got into high school, he somehow got ahold of pictures that were in my Snapchat account (and not from my phone camera roll), and my phone number. He threatened to come to my house and confront me because I didn’t want to accept his apology for what he did in middle school. I still get nightmares from what happened. I just hope I never see him again and I never ever interact with him again.
Edit: Thank you guys for the support I really mean that 😊 I’m doing ok now. This happened a few years ago so I’ve moved on for the most part. I just wanted to point out that I decided to reveal something more personal for the first time because this song related to me in that way. Also, no one ever says that men can’t go through harassment, and just invalidating my experiences with sexual harassment and stalking is disgusting. Shame on you for that.
oh my gosh 😟😟 i’m so sorry that happened to you. you’re so strong and i hope you know that. i’m sending you virtual hugs and love. i hope things get better for you and that boy rots in hell and gets the karma he deserves. keep your head up love 🤍🤍
I’m so sorry this happened . Just know we are here to support you and love you and you are such a strong amazing person❤️❤️I hope you never do see him again and you should get a restriction order on him.
this terrifies (idk how to spell it) bc I got doxed one time and I was living in fear ik how you feel
@@AwesomizingVideo I'm sorry that happened to you
Wow I’m so sorry this happened 🥺🤍☹️
When I was about 9, I traveled to visit family in honduras. One night my cousin walked me home around 10:00 and the front door where I was staying at was locked and it was because there was a party. She walked me the backyard so I can enter from there but she wouldn't leave until she saw me go inside. While I was walking I heard someone call out for me being 9, I stopped and didn't think much of it. A man way older than me came behind and held my arms and I could get out of his grip. I heard a belt being undone but my cousin jumped in and I was able to run away. Apparently it was my fault. I was wearing a dress, at night. I was leading him on, that's what my aunt told me. For the longest time I thought that it was fault and I didn't really understand the situation. Now I do, and now I can say freely that it wasn't my fault.
I just wanted to say thank you for the endless love and support I wish you all the best🤍
that is absolutely disgusting. what a shame. i’m so glad you realized that you’re the victim ❤️ all my love x
@@acrxlic-183 thank you, it means a lot 🤍 have a goodnight or day :)
The fact that it waas your aunt. Another women that told you. Man, sorry that this happened but glad that you have realized what actually happened and arent afraid to share it
It’s absolutely disgusting that another woman would put the blame on you, a literal fuckin child, and say that it was your fault for wearing a dress. On another note, I’m glad that the disgusting man who did that didn’t get any further, and I’m glad that you ended up okay. Just remember you always have someone on your side, even if you don’t really know me I’ll support you :)
You aren't a victim you are a survivor❤
Hit me on a whole different level. I used to be Barbie-obsessed when I was a kid. My parents worked their asses off to get me the dream house, the different outfits and cars and DVDs. I couldn't wait to grow up and be just like her. Look like her. Dress like her. Now I do everything in my power to not look that way and after the age of 15 I never wore a skirt because of the encounters I'd had with men walking to and from school. I look at girls nowadays and hope they will never have to feel that unsafe.
Same. I’m not pretty, but I’m always sure to cover myself up so nobody can really look at me. And the bad thing is I just turned a teenager and people younger than me are being catcalled and it’s terrible.
@@Izzy-zw3vx that's horrible to hear that it still happens to younger kids. It was the same for me, I'd feel so nervous walking past groups of men in my school uniform and I still feel that way just wearing normal clothes.
(Also don't be silly, I'm sure you're very pretty! everyone is pretty in their own way, beauty is subjective 🌸)
@@suna2317 yeah, my friend was just telling me yesterday that she had been catcalled and I was shocked. That’s why I keep my school skirt rolled down, just in case. Also, thank you! I hope you have an amazing day, and stay safe :)
It's not like that everywhere though, the men just needed to be raised properly
You do not dress for men and what they done was disgusting. You should have been able to dress in what you like to wear and not be sexualised. You should have not had to change the way you dress instead men should learn not to be so entitled and egotistical, instead learn respect.
Goosebumps... I have goosebumps!!!! THIS SONG IS SUCH A MASTERPIECE!!!
I'm so f*cking tired of some boys thinking that being hit on un consensually is fun and will booste your confidence it's not it makes u feel like a toy and it feels awful!!!
I agree.. I mean it depends on the context for me. Like a creepy old man randomly coming up to me on the subway or at work when I’m trapped is inappropriate. But if you’re dating someone or getting to know them and they hit on you then that’s of course fine for me.
I agree as a guy. Especially because most guys aren't even genuinely interested in you, and are just looking for an easy pump and dump, (unless the guy is genuinely in love with you, which is rare these days).
@@andrewcollet3717 yeah its so sad
It's also scary because your mind races and over thinks what if he kidnaps me or rape or kill me. It's crazzy
It's definitely better than the opposite. So my pity is on the level of the pity I have for billionaires being pestered by yacht salesmen.
Just saw a 6 year old catcall a women on the street.

Hearing men recognise and share our pain feels so reassuring ❤️ Pls use ur male privilege best u can to give women space and a voice in places where we otherwise lack it
It's nice being understood; thank you so much for this.

I thought this was gonna be a meme but i got goosebumps the whole time
Same
“Protect your daughters”
Why don’t we educate our sons instead?
I mean if my little brother (who is 11) understands the concept of respect and consent, why can’t grown men?
And thats where the fault is... the assumptions that most men does not understand the concept of respect and consent. To walk around thinking that the minority is actually the majority. Some guy got cheated on so now he feels every girl is a slut. Some girl got catcalled and now all guys are pigs. That makes both the guy and the girl idiots. The fact that some guys in the comments here even feel the need to apologize for what other men has done says a lot about how fucked up all this shit has become. Im very gratful for the fact that not all girls are the same and call me stupid for even thinking this, but i assume most girls understand not all guys are the same.
THIS!!!!!
i just think that we should talk more about taboo topics as a whole. like, teach kids about consent and rape and why it's bad directly and don't just vaguely allude to it, that's stupid.
@@hannahlee5572 99.9% knows rape is wrong. Its not a question of they knowing its wrong or not. Its a question of why they do it and why they tell themselves that she "deserved it or wanted it" etc. These people have psychological issues and questions for how they ended up there is endless. Like.. nobody is questioning the psychological damage that may occur by cutting child's penis at birth. Could it in some cases lead to resentment and violence? Nobody knows and nobody cares because its part of the culture. Same thing with rape.. we think that if we just tell children not to rape its all gonna be fine. If rape is to be banished the society as whole need to change. Good news is that based on rape stats we slowly going the right way.
@@Xirus5 I totally agree with your first comment and I think this isn't said enough.
Obviously there are some twisted people (male or female), but we shouldn't assume that because someone looks a particular way they want to harm us.
Caution is sure important, but obsession over all men is pointless.
Worst, it helps fuel improper thoughts of twisted minds while the majority is blamed and wronged for no reason.
I was about 10 when i heard that Song the first time and i remember i thought this melody has a melancholy within. This cover brings it to the surface, and the lyrics are awesome!
Since everyone is sharing their personal stories and being extremely accepting
I was in love with a boy for 2 years, although he never felt the same way back. He manipulated me into feeling this way towards him and he was extremely controlling. One time I was at his house and he began to touch me. I began to feel extremely uncomfortable and violated. I pushed his hands off of me and clearly told him to stop. But he didn't stop he kept going. I felt like I had no power, and he had complete control over me. That day he sexually assaulted me. He made me think that it was normal, and that I did consent. Because of how much I liked him I brushed it over and pretended it was okay
A few months later I was at a party in which I was very drunk. I had nowhere to sleep so I slept with him in his tent. I passed out of consciousness while I was with him. When I woke back up he was raping me. I was so scared and confused. I didn't know why he was doing it. Because of extreme trauma and dissociation tendencies I blocked this out of my mind. I didn't remember until 6 months later. Remembering was the hardest thing of my life. I blamed myself for months, tried to justify what he did and that he did because he liked me. At the time of remembering I was still friends with him and currently having sex at the time. As a form of self harm I continued to have sex with him even knowing what he had done to me in the past. One day I came to the realization that is was rape, and that it wasn't okay. I reported him to the police and my school as I go to the same school as him. The police told me "because I didn't make it clear at any point that I didn't want to have sex, it wasn't rape". I was unconscious, how could I say no. To this day, he has not received any legal consequences. I still have to go to school and attend classes with him in it. Everyday I am battling the pain I experience being near him.
I am so sorry you had to go through that. I hope things are better now. You are so strong for getting through that. 🤍
You are very brave for speaking out. You had ever have to feel that way, it wasnt your fault. I dont know you, but its very frustrating that you still have to battle with his presence around you, that the people that are supposed to defend you (the cops) just reproduces and normalize that type of aberrant behaviors. Like I said, you are very brave.
Literally police can be so f//cking useless,, I'm so sorry that you have and still have to deal with this, I really hope things get better for you, keep fighting!! Also please maybe tell your principal he deserves at least some sort of consequence
I am so sorry you had to go through that and that the police didn't do anything, but I'm proud of you for reporting him anyway, I know how much courage that takes. You're a very strong woman, you got this. xx
That’s so messed up! How old were you? And hopefully your doing well. Have a nice day!

Since everyone is sharing their stories here's mine-
I was in a hostel with my parents because, my mum had some urgent duties in another state. Every year since the past 4 years she goes with us in may (excluding 2020). Since it was may this year (2018) I decided to go too. I had missed going in 2017 due to health issues. So there was a lunch room or buffet like area , you're supposed to complete your lunch and leave the plates on the table, I had finished eating. But my parents hadn't completed theirs, I was maybe 9 or 8 and my sister was maybe 4 or 5. Our rooms were in the upper floor, it really wasn't that far. I was too impatient to wait since there was a movie, I had left half watched. So I asked if I could go, my mum agreed. My sister also came with me, while going upstairs there was kind of a sitting place/ sofa. The room sweeper was just sitting on it, he was good in terms with my father. But I always got creepy vibes from him, he was kind of a nose poker and a possessive man, but I really couldn't do much so I decided to roll with it. So while we were going he called me and my sister and asked if we had watched some cartoon he was showing on his phone. It was some Christmas Eve song, I really don't remember. I said,"I don't remember, but we learnt it in nursery." And said that I was in a urgency and I had to go. Right then he pulled my hand and my sister's hand and forced us to sit with him in the sofa. I was really scared and felt something was off but I didn't react much. And be probably in his mid or late thirties with a daughter of his own. I kind of pretended on watching the video he was showing, then he slowly started making some really lewd comments like-
"Your sister's kind of skinny, you're a bit plump you know. You should try to make you presense a bit unnoticeable, I think."
I was already fukin' done with this man but I kept quiet out of respect and just mildly smiled and nodded. Then he slowly starts dragging his hand towards my shoulder and rubs it. I really didn't say anything, and thought it was an accident but then he slowly starts bringing his palm to my chest and rubs and kind of squeezes it. I was horrified. I quickly pulled away myself and my sister. He was kind of shocked and annoyed, he then asks if we want to watch anything else or we didn't like the "cartoon" he was showing. I refused politely but my sister was fussing and wished to see more of that song or smh. He was drawing her in again but I pulled her and said in a loud and angry voice to him "I have my own phone, she can watch in mine. No need."
He was pissed of a was trying to convince my sister but I angrily denied him and returned to our rooms. He tried to follow but I quickly locked the doorand shut him outside.
I'm still traumatized from this experience and when I told my mum about this( not the part when he was doing inappropriate things but rather just something else, he was calling us so and so) my mom blamed me and said we shouldn't have come alone.
Why are so many parents like that
Like I just wanted a story time where some girls boyfriend cheated on her with her half sister and their parents allowed it that’s so cruel,like ho sis that right
And so many people are saying it’s the victims fault,like how it’s our fault,I didn’t even know anything during mine does that mean it’s my fault for not telling my mom bc I was scared,like why are parents like this,thought they start crying and saying it’s the perpetrators fault when it happens to them but us is another story 🙄
NOW i understand why my mother NEVER lets me go anywhere by myself in hotels
I am protected because of her
@@ami-stars252 I guess the effects of ingrained victim- blaming, to the point they'd trash ever justifiable claim. I mean according to them before blaming the abuser the victim also needs to be corrected even if they are not at fault. But the irony is victims are held more accountable than the abusers.

Remind me of the two blonde twins from suite life of Zack and Cody Becky and Milly Rosso
When I was in 5th grade some random guy I didn’t know and who I can only assume was in grade 7 or 8 grabbed/touched my private areas inappropriately when I bent over to take a sip of water from the water fountain. I was really scared and when I confronted a teacher he told me
“girls can be so dramatic, suck it up”
And it took me almost 3 years to realize what had happened was NOT okay and wasn’t my fault in any shape or form. It’s honestly disgusting that a man in his 40s (this guy literally had THREE daughters and a son)
Could say that to a student who’s just been traumatized, I can’t look at guys older then me or just guys in general the me the same anymore. (like I was even scared to get close to my brothers and step brothers for a few months after the incident)
And people say to me quite often
“it’s not a big deal that happened like 5 years ago”
But I can’t just get over it bc I had to see the person who touched me everyday leading up to his graduation and the incident wasn’t reported to my parents I had to tell them myself, and when they contacted the school the person who we spoke to said “it was probably just a kid being a kid, sorry but there’s nothing we can really do about it since it happened a few weeks ago”
And then now after all that went on in elementary school me and my friends get told often that woman/girls are living on a high horse and we’re just being dramatic when we say things like “it’s hard being a girl” or “life as a girl can be tough sometimes”
Like come on. Society as a whole needs to reevaluate its view on woman and how some of us live in constant fear of, you guessed it. Men
I swear the same happened to me. I was in the 3rd grade. When I bent down to take a sip from the water fountain, a 5th grader hit my butt hard. I literally cried and he laughed at me and ran. I told my teacher but we couldn’t find him it all happened so quick I couldn’t remember his face.
I wish I could tell you it gets better, but it doesn't. That's why it is SO important that women become the strongest allies to other women! As a woman- respect women, listen to women, befriend women, and learn to trust women. Men keep us in constant competition with each other because our coming together is their biggest threat to their power over us! #womenunite
I'm so sorry you had to go through this :(( once when I was in class, wearing a dress(I was around ten and in third grade) and I was writing things on the board for fun cause we were all alone in class, I started hearing laughs and when I turned around I realized one older guy was laying on the floor almost between my legs so he could see my underwear and some of his friends were laughing at it, he wasn't much older but at least three to four years more than me, I remember running and crying in the bathroom, when I told my teacher she got so mad at him, his parents were called, mine too, but nothing happened to him thanks to the good old school advisor who just TALKED to him, and I couldn't wear dresses to school anymore cause he advised my parents that it would be better. Dispite that neither me or my mom felt safe anymore with me going on dresses so she wouldn't let me wear it anyways :/ I hate this memory but I don't think I'll ever forget it, I still feel sick when I think about it and I'm 18 already

it's definitely not my heart does go out to these people and the internet allows us to see these stories so I don't even know where some of these people live but to say it's better is wrong the people who are the worst can thrive in ways they couldn't it does also allows those that are good to be able to be seen more so that is a positive. The world I want to live in is one in which we can all respect each other without agreeing a world in which we all had the same opportunity and there is not many places like that in the world I want to be able to walk among people and just laugh and have fun despite our personal grievances a world where joy could flourish and people could be strong and get through life with no wars but that for the most part is a pipe dream and it's not even a little bit possible with people who generalize which happens no matter the ideology the idea that all men are evil is wrong and the all women are evil is also wrong and for some reason the internet you said was better than the world says one of these is right and one is wrong when both are wrong.

Right
I don't think anyone's said its gotten *worse* than the past but also this has a good sentiment
I think this was pretty much the subtext of the original, underneath an ironic layer of shiny pop (although being a pre-teen at the time, I didn't recognize that the irony was ironic).

"stop being dramatic"
That's what my bestfriend told me when I was mad at a group of guys in our school, who were sexualizing a girl, in a group chat.
Imagine NOT supporting a woman just because she's is not your friend.
It breaks my heart that so many young, beautiful souls have went through traumatizing things. But what's even more painful is the society not supporting them or standing by their side.
Let's stand for eachother💛
i wouldnt either
Nobody deserves that, friend or foe, or anywhere in between. We don't build bridges by shutting people out, you are so right. It took me a long time to really learn what I feel, and I know that what I feel is that everyone is worthy of help. Everyone. The best way to help them change or become a better person is to be kind. As a wise woman once said.
"Kill 'em with kindness" - Selena Gomez
To be fair "sexualization" is a natural thing that just happens regardless of sex. Women sexualize men and other women ALL of the time and even sexualize themselves on any social media platform they can in the guise of pride. On top of that, they do it in tv shows, movies, and even music. Personally, I don't see the appeal in all of it but to only blame boys and men is ridiculous.
That's Boy/Men talk. That's why women should have their own group of girl groups and guys have their own group. You can't tell men what to do or what to think. That's great and all but worry about you and you only.
@@NunYaBiz1313 i don't understand.
Are you telling me that they have the right to sexualize a girl, just because she wore a skirt or because she had a few guy friends? I don't think anyone deserves that.
Boy talk or whatever, being disrespectful is not cool.
Trigger Warning:
I was assaulted when I was 6 years old by an 11-12-year-old boy. I was in an after-school club playing alone in the sand underneath a playground. This boy I have never interacted with before kept adding sand in my underwear and would "clean it". He did this repeatedly. I was confused and scared I tried crawling out of the playground but he kept pulling me back in. I couldn't scream or yell because I was so shocked and nervous. I was even more disturbed by the fact that he kept sniffing his hands. It's terrible. I had no idea I would still be affected even until now but I still have trust issues. I have not told anyone about this because when I did a few years ago (I am now 21) they said: "Oh, he was just curious haha don't be caught up on that it was years ago. He was just a kid".
I’m so sorry. No one should have to go through anything like this, ever. It’s inexcusable at any age. I hope you’re doing okay.
Wow, I'm sorry. He was definitely old enough to know it was wrong and if it traumatized you, then it matters.
Oh wow, I was very scared to tell anyone my story because of the stigma that surrounds minor sexual harassers. Especially ones that are not even teenagers. I’m not sure I can blame a little kid anymore, but I can say it caused me some trauma that I decided to bury. I was also 6 years old and this kid was 9-10. I can’t really process how such a young kid can even think of doing this but it happened and it was scary. Especially when I knew nothing about what he was doing and now when I know, I’m ashamed. I know I shouldn’t be and I don’t blame myself, but I’m ashamed such things happened to me.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. It is abuse. The shame was not yours to carry and I'm so sorry that abusers make us carry their shame.
I'm so sorry. I just wanted to say that I work with children and that is not normal kid behaviour at all and defiantly not for a 12-year-old! From when children can talk they learn about everyone having private parts and they understand the importance of them being private. This is not natural curiosity, at any age.
Your feelings a completely valid and he has no excuse!

This line hit me hard
YESSSS😔😔😔😔
Coming back to this song after watching the Barbie movie.
These lyrics are powerful. Once at school, some shaved ice truck came. I placed my backpack down where I was standing, and I knew nobody would care if I just left for a second to check the prices. So as I'm looking at prices and seeing which I wanted to purchase, I hear a boy say "Wow, she has an ass..". That grossed me out so much, but I'm not the type of person who likes to confront people, especially since so many people get hurt doing so. I just left and went back into my spot. I wouldn't forget that, cause it was absolutely disgusting. Honestly hate the world we live in.
While I was on the street, a man looked at me and my cousin, and it was terrible. Who knows what went through his mind. Almost every girl experiences this. I hate men. I never trust them, even if I don't know if they're good or bad.
i have some questions 1) how old were you
2) this why I dont really wear shorts
Once when I was 12, I went somewhere (with my mom tho) and while walking back home, I was walking many steps ahead of my mom and there was a man on the street who was going the other way, he started staring at me! I didn't know why, I felt so awkward! Luckily my mom noticed all that and came rushing towards me, then that man just looked away!

almost every girl has had a man stare at her. i have. so creepy and so heartbreaking.
So sad that most of us girls/women can relate on a personal level.
And many men and non binaries too :( Sad, sad world.
ахахахах просто уморительно!
True

Here is mine-
i was just 5 or 6 at that time and me and my mom went to our neighbours house there was a guy nearly 15 to 16 years of age ..i used to usually play with him a lot...one day he took me to his room he told me he would tell me a secret and i should not tell this to my mom and since i was a kid and loved surprises i promised not to ...he threw me to his bed and literally kissed me..i couldn't do anything cause i was just to small, after that i went to mom and while we were going back i told my mom about it...i am 14 now and what hurts is i still have to see him sometimes in my neighborhood and i should not tell this to anyone because our society will think i am the bad person in this ..he is still free i never spoke to anyone about this but since people here are so nice i decided to share while writting this, tears are rolling down my cheecks but i am helpless because our society is very bad......
You find nice people here in comment sections but where are these angels in real world..it still hurts the fuck out of me ...
Omg i hope you are doing well now💜 this type of things never happened to me but I understand how you feel.
Pedos man, that's awful
(Sorry for bad grammar, I'm french) Iam really sorry for all the people that got sexually harassed. I give all my support and want you to know that you are not alone to face theses situations.
I was a witness of one of them. My sister was 15. I was 11 at the time, and my family always said that I was very mature for my age. I knew about sexual harassments and what act were considered one of them.
My family were on a vacation to Quebec, and we were downtown walking to a restaurant. There was alot of people and the sidewalks were narrow. My sister and my parents we're walking in front talking while I was following them from behind. Then I noticed an old man walking behind me STARRING at my sister's "curves". She was wearing a skirt that stopped at her knees and he was slowly tilting his head forward to "see more".
I wanted to STRANGLE him. He looked like he was having a good time. I didn't know exactly what to do, because screaming at him would've attracted everyone's attention and made the situation worse. Again, I was 11. So I decided to stare at him directly at his eyes with a deathly stare without looking away a second. Seconds later, when his eyes met mines, he jumped a little, and then he looked at me troubled. After he froze, and rolled his eyes. Then we arrived, so he continued his way. I told my mom everything right after we went in. My sister was frustrated that he starred at her like that, but she was glad that I had the courage to scare him away. My parents were so proud of me, and they bought me an ice-cream.
I couldve done more than just stare at him. But I was young. When you see anyone getting sexually harassed, help them. You wouldn't want that to happen to you, wouldn't you? Make a difference. I mean this.
That honestly reminds me of my dad a bit. NOT THE YOUNG GIRL PART! But just the constant staring at woman and following with his eyes. And all the comments about people's appearances. Its honstely exhausting. And I just don't get it. It could be just because I'm asexual but people could still have respect. It's just really gross
Never apologize for your grammar especially if English is not your first language. It is not the standard.
Wow I'm sorry that happened, that's disgusting what he did, but IM SO FREAKING PROUD OF U FOR DOING THAT, and don't apologize, u don't need perfect English and that was rly good grammar good job! Stay safe💗
Courage à vous deux ♥♥
1. You deserved that ice cream
2. Your not one of those vegans who say “how would you feel if you were a pig”
Humans have advanced thinking, saying “how would you feel” makes sense in your case because humans are capable of thinking to an advanced degree and it just works
Sorry mate I just don’t like when extremist vegans say that
