Cat Watermelon Shirt
Pretty privilege is real. I’m the Cat Watermelon Shirt” so I’ve seen the benefits of that privilege granted to my friends with my own eyes, right in front of my face too many times to count. I myself feel like because of my weight, I am considered “ugly.” I’ve never had a man pursue me for a romantic relationship because they are only interested in using me for sex (men always think that because I’m fat, I will therefore take whatever attention I’m granted), I’m also ignored at any type of party or event. Both ugly and beautiful women have so many unique aspects and so much depth. Human beings are so multi-faceted and capable regardless of the shapes of their faces or the colors of their eyes. It’s a great tragedy that no matter how funny, intelligent, accomplished, etc. a Cat Watermelon Shirt is—her worth will always be based on her looks as long as patriarchy continues. Pretty women, I recognize your struggle but you do nothing to help your fellow women around you by diminishing their struggles—they are subjected to a type of prejudice, and sometimes violence, you will never experience. No woman wants to be catcalled, but ugly women do want to have chances to be just as loved and cared for as you are.
()Cat Watermelon Shirt
When I was a Cat Watermelon Shirt, like middle school, I didn’t even have that girly of a username, just a star wars reference. But I liked being friendly and using “:)” a lot. On two seperate occasions, some creepy stuff went down: first some dude on league sending a link to “his abs”, second was a guild on a gacha game where some 30-something year old was regularly chatting with my (actually a girl) friend, and tried aggressively to get me to do so as well. Until they found out I was a dude, and immediately stopped. I slowly changed my vocabulary and habits and nothing so overt has happened in years, but lesser things have popped up as recently as a couple years ago, and nobody should have to change their personality to not got dick picks. One of the great and terrible things of the internet is that it’s actually really easy to get some perspective. Anonymity is a double edged sword. (sidenote: I do wish I had the cognizance to recognize the latter was a, like, “hey maybe get out” situation, rather than a Cat Watermelon Shirt situation. Sadly, I, too, had the brain of a Cat Watermelon Shirt, when I was a pre-teen.)
