Its Tough Being A Woman. Its Tough Being A Man...Life Just Sucks

Because of this whole recent sorority girl massacre there has been a lot of talk about "slut shamming" and more specifically not trying to control how a woman or girl dresses, and one thing you often hear is "its hot out girls are gonna wear shorts, tank tops, etc and boys should just stop staring" and that's true, however girls especially high school girls need to keep in mind the boys in their classrooms are flooded with hormones. They don't mean to gawk, but keep in mind that's an age where a guys dick is like a minute man missile its basically ready to go whenever. I'm not saying don't wear shorts and shit but cmon exercise a little discretion, and I say this as someone who was in high school when thongs were fashionable. I know it seems like an unfair point to make and it is, but men make concessions for women too. I mean we have to deal with girls when they first start with periods and women when they start menopause end. See that sounds incredibly sexist and maybe it is, but isn't there some truth to that? Of course historically women have made many more concessions in this male dominated culture and it is certainly time to address, reverse, and make right on those. I just have to ask is it still so bad for women in this culture that this issue needs to be take on with such a hostile tone? Do we really have a "rape culture"? I know women have suffered a lot as a result of the pressure men feel to be masculine, and that's exactly my point we suffer because of that pressure too. We're not just malicious we're acting out because of our own cultural suffering. To draw a comparison to racism in America. Anyone who has taken a 100 level sociology course knows lower income people ie the impoverished are more susceptible to that type of ideology. It is because of thier suffering they look to make others suffer. Its not right, but its human and often so-called "educated people" instead of showing them compassion and fixing exactly what it is made them that way they demonize them with slurs of their own. Derogatory words such as "white trash" or "red neck" are thrown around and it only make things worse. I know there is a problem here, and I know something needs to be fixed, but our society has gone quite wrong in addressing social issues like these before lets not make the same mistakes! In the end it is tough being a woman, but its also tough being a man. Life just kinda sucks for everyone...except George Clooney.
