Why is it that some men feel so entitled?

They feel they have the right to take whatever it is they want, the right to impose their will over ours, the right to get away with every action in the name of tradition or impunity.

Did you feel it was your right even though I said no?

Do you think it’s fair that while you felt it was a win, I still feel the loss?

I feel scared to drink too much around boys now. I feel guilty to have drunk so much around you. If I hadn’t, maybe my “no” would have been worth something. Maybe I wouldn’t have gone into a room with you to “make out”. If I hadn’t drunk so much, I wouldn’t have had to take the morning after pill or stayed weeks wondering if maybe I would have to have an abortion. If I hadn’t drunk so much, maybe I would be able to remember my exact words and actions, maybe I would be able to remember something other than your weight over mine and you leaving me there, in the dark, after you were done.

That’s the thing about being a woman, you can’t help the overwhelming guilt that comes like waves, the bargaining of having been able to avoid the situation, the implicit thought that it’s your duty and not your right.
