WHY I AM A FEMINIST – THE ANKLE-GREEN SCHOOL SKIRT, RECLAIMING YOUR BODY AFTER ASSAULT

Reading Time: 5 minutes I still walk, like most women, with my keys in my hands and fear dark alleyways, and this sadly wasn’t the last time my sexuality would be violated by straying hands, forced kisses, catcalls, harassment.

But it was the point when I faced a choice – whether to let this violent attack define me or whether I was going to define myself.

I could stay in ankle-green school skirts or their adult equivalent and believe that women incite attacks and take the blame the police had tried to hand to me.

You and I both have failed Cyntoia

Reading Time: 5 minutes Children are the most marginalized population on the planet. That may sound like a shocking statement, but we fail them, over and over again. And they depend on us adults. They come in the world defenseless and completely dependent on us and we abandon them. We control them and tell them what to do. We indoctrinate them and if they do not follow our wishes, we punish them. They cannot vote. We do not allow them to have a say so.
