fear of men
For as long as I can remember I've always had a fear of men.
It mostly came from my mom's boyfriend and the men in and out of my house.
Since I was younger everyone always told me I was shy, but no. It was the way he yelled, or the way he treated my mom, or the way he personally treated me, or the way I was so scared I had to put a dresser in front of my door ensuring no man could come in praying. Personally, I can't be in a room with a man. I'll start crying. But I mean that might just be me, but when I go out and see a girl's eyes looking so scared of the man with her, I wonder if someone is gonna say something. Maybe they think the same way I think, and I start thinking, would they be making it worse for her?
It's not that I'm necessarily afraid of all men, It's just the ones that have the scary look in their eyes. It's the ones who make comments towards innocent women, the ones who sexulize innocent things, those are the ones I fear. So no it's not all men, just most.

this piece is about my fear of men and i hope by publishing it that if other girls that feel the same way they know there feelings are valid. i've been quiet about what went on for a while it feels good to talk about it.
