Description Alright I really should be continuing with school work but I HAD to get this out of my system.

Lately I have been seeing quite a few artists I watch talk about how they have been somehow or someway sexually harassed, and some of these are terribly frightening. Many of them say they are just too shy and sort of scurry away, but then mention that these creeps who are touching and following them keep continuing to do what they do.

DON'T RUN, FIGHT BACK. SHOW THESE CREEPS THAT YOU ARE NOT SOME TOY TO PLAY WITH. YOU ARE A HUMAN BEING, AND YOU WILL BE TREATED AS AN EQUAL WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT.

Creeps, male or female, whatever sexuality, will continue to harass the individual they consider submissive and will show no will in fighting them off. If you show that they are the dominant one, they will continue to harass you because they know that you can't do anything against them. If all you do is say no, and they continue, get angry, get loud, get FIERCE. These creeps aren't humans, they are nothing more then worthless trash. SHOW THEM WHAT YOU ARE MADE OF. Don't EVER get physical straight away, as the mindless public will somehow glorify the creeper and make you seem like the true villain. Get REAL angry if they touch you. Yell, stomp your feet, anything to show them that if they continue, there will be consequences. 

I was a high ranking officer in my senior high school's ROTC, and throughout my four years in the program I have seen quite a few creepy things and have even heard about it. These sort of things PISS ME OFF. Once, I saw a cadet grind a girl against the door without her consent, and she told him to back off, but she wasn't assertive. Apparently he was "marching" and wasn't told to stop by the cadet who was having him march (the cadet was called to do a job) so he was "still marching" while grinding this girl up against the door when she tried pushing him away. Well let me tell you, the moment I saw this and yelled at him to stop, and he DIDN'T before giving me that excuse, I started yelling so loud and angrily I felt like I was spitting fire. I yanked him by his collar, moved the girl, and pushed the cadet against the door and made him stand at attention. I yelled at this cadet before to the point where I thought my head was going to explode (he was looking through the contacts in my phone, which I had tucked away in an area where EVERYONE knew it was and would grab it for me if I'm busy and bring it to me. They're all smart enough to know that you just don't go looking through someone else's phone, although this kid thought he was a "high and mighty detective" and since his dad was a cop or whatever the kid had the authority to look through my phone). Some of the other officer cadets then brought the kid out into the hallway because I screamed at him so viciously he looked like he was about to faint/cry/whatever, but let me tell you, him grinding on that girl, and him ALSO TOUCHING other cadets that I've heard him do in the past, made me livid. I was so pissed I literally couldn't see straight. I hate anyone, male or female or whatever, who use excuses in order to sexually touch or assault someone else. It doesn't matter if you're straight, gay, bisexual, whatever, if you use your title as an excuse to grope someone, you are nothing more then a pile of shit.

So today, after seeing another journal about an artist, who I admire, was sexually groped repeatedly and told that she should have sex with the creep, by the creep, I had to draw something to get other's attention to all of this.

IF YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE WHETHER IN SCHOOL, THE WORK PLACE, OR ANYWHERE ELSE, AND THERE IS SOMEONE SEXUALLY GROPING, TALKING, ASSAULTING YOU, STOMP YOUR FOOT DOWN AND TELL THEM THAT YOU WILL NOT BE PUSHED AROUND OR TOUCHED LIKE YOU'RE ONLY A SEX TOY. YOU WILL SHOW THESE SUBHUMAN CREEPS THAT YOU MEAN BUSINESS, AND IF THEY CONTINUE EVEN AFTER YOU REPORT THEM AND THEY START GETTING PHYSICAL, GET A GROUP OF FRIENDS TOGETHER AND INTIMIDATE THE SHIT OUT OF THOSE CREEPS. 

FEEL STRONG. BE STRONG. DON'T LET THESE CREEPS MAKE YOU SUBMISSIVE TO THEM. YOU. ARE. NOT. A. SEXUAL. OBJECT.

YOU. ARE. A. HUMAN. BEING.

I have been tempted to make a sticker out of this and put it on my car lol, and now I have an even greater urge to do it lol! No idea if I still have the PSD file for it pff.

But I'm glad you enjoyed the read and I hope it empowers you to stand up to harassers and help others out who are being harassed. Don't be afraid to show your teeth to stand and help yourself or someone else! *gives inspirational cookies*

at 6'00 and 280lbs not a lot of people try to harass me but I cannot abide a bully either so I always stand up and speak for those who can't. Glad to see you do as well

I can never state just how much you rock. It's sad we live in a world where this needs to be said, but damn you said it right! Also that snarling face is amazing~! So much love!

It seems like I can only successfully draw snarling faces when I'm angry myself. xDDD

But it is incredibly sad that what I and many other people have to say in order to get awareness out there. Creeps shouldn't even exist, yet they do and in droves. Hopefully this image and description can help a lot of people out with boosting and building their own confidence.

Yeah, there's a huge margin between "flirting" and "please stop".

Make sure to be assertive and get help if the guy or girl gets to be angry/mean/abusive.

Honestly I find this really empowering and it saddens me to hear that some people are too afraid to even make an effort to defend themselves

It makes me want take some classes on fighting and self defense so I could totally show some creep who's boss if they try to test me

SiofraTural In reply to DoubletheU [2014-06-03 03:57:11 +0000 UTC]

I get so angry and sad when I see/read things like this happening and yet the person, as you mentioned, barely makes an effort to really stand up against the creep and make them stop for good. Me, I really bare my teeth and tell the creep to wise up or get lost.

I thought about taking self defense classes too years ago, but then I guess that if I ever really needed to fend for myself I'd probably forget everything and just dive-bomb them into the ground or whatever, lmao.

DoubletheU In reply to SiofraTural [2014-06-03 04:02:42 +0000 UTC]

I feel like I might too but idk, I would think that in a self defense course they would train you enough where certain reactions become almost instinctive. I guess it depends on how many classes you go to for it

Unless you practice a whole lot it doesn't really stick with you.  I took a self defense class a few years ago and hardly remember any moves because I haven't practiced.  Well, except the "go for the eyes and groin" part.

Ah, well it still seems like something useful to learn nonetheless
