men: *decided women weren’t allowed attend schools, study sciences, or have access to higher education*
men: well if women are so smart then how come there aren’t many contributions from women in history huh

This post means well, but still erases women’s contributions in the same way men have. The truth is that women have made so many contributions to history and science despite men denying them access, but that men have either taken credit for those accomplishments or, when they couldn’t, completely divorced that accomplishment from the woman so that no one remembers them.

In fact, this happens so often that there’s even a name for it. It’s called the Matilda Effect which is defined as “the systematic repression and denial of the contribution of woman scientists in research, whose work is often attributed to their male colleagues” but which applies to other fields as well and goes doubly for women of color. How about just a few (certainly nowhere near all) women who contributed to science? And this is just science, not even history in the larger sense.

The absence of women in history is man made.

#metoo in korea

I need y'all to know that while #metoo has been surging as a movement in south korea, the retaliation has been devastating.

The pence rule has been cited as a valid solution. Women are being plainly ignored in their workplace. Women are being pulled from business trips with male coworkers. Women are not being given job opportunities bc of potential exposure to male coworkers. Women are not being hired bc of the “danger” they pose to the men.

They’re not fixing the behavior of men. They’re blaming it all on women, and the women are being forced to bear the brunt of the repercussions.

The women are suffering for speaking out not just on a person by person basis of “you could’ve done better/you were seducing him”, but on a larger, systemically oppressive scale.

Rather than educating men to respect boundaries and just not sexually harass/assault women, they’re limiting the presence and mobility of women. They’re getting rid of the women in the workplace. Bc that solves the problem.

I know a lot of this is redundant, but I am angry. And embarrassed. And frustrated. When I heard about this, I was so, so disappointed. I wanted Korea to be better than this.

So please, be angry about this too. Spread it and let it be known that this is not okay. That this is unacceptable.

I know it has nothing to do with your interest in the country’s music or drama or other media/entertainment, but it is SO important that you not ignore this.

You never think it happens to you until it does. You never think that you’d be the one that people reblog tips for.

I wash just closely followed and taped by a man at a convention today. The only reason I’m here to talk about it is because of said reblogged tips. They might have just saved me.

When I saw that man behind me, I did a run-through of everything I knew to keep me safe. Everything I saw on this website that would help me. First, I made sure I was being followed. I picked up my pace, went around tables sporadically, mixed up my directions. I never stopped moving. When I saw he was still the same distance behind me, I knew.

Second, I looked for my friends. I had come with three other people and had split up to look at merch. But when I couldn’t find them, I did what I never thought I’d have to do. I thank all of the people I followed for reblogging it so many times.

I picked a random cosplayer my age (a Midoriya cosplayer of 15-16 years) and pretended that I just met a long lost friend. I leaned in close to give them a hug and then whispered that I was being followed. They understood IMMEDIATELY and let me follow them to a different booth. It wasn’t until I grouped with them that the man stopped following me. I later went to security and the man was already someone who they were having trouble with earlier.

Moral of the story: Please reblog tips for safety on your dash. I don’t care if it doesn’t fit. If I didn’t think of pretending I knew someone, something worse could’ve happened to me. If you’re being followed, don’t be afraid to pretend you know someone. Be careful out there. You never think it’s going to be you until it happens.
