Ok so head's up this is going to be a rant but it's an important one.

Ok so I have a younger cousin who is 16 and she just got this dress that looks great on her. I'm so happy to see how she's grown into such a beautiful young woman. She looks absolutely classy and elegant in it. The dress is a floor length black dress that has a strap on one sholder and a calf high slit on one side. She was feeling great about it till she txted me this…

"People say I'm going to get raped and it's too sexy. And that I can't go out of the house like that without a man to watch me and bodyguard me. and that my father isn't thinking straight about him liking it"

Where the hell do people get off telling a 16 year old girl that she's going to get RAPED!!!!! That dress is more conservative than some of the dresses I've worn in fashion shows and to prom. No one should EVER tell anyone boy or girl that they are going to get raped because of what they are wearing or that they deserve to be raped!!!!!!

People don't get raped because of what they wear they get raped because of twisted people and because of people who think that it's ok to say things like that. I don't care what the person is wearing they could be stark naked for all I care but no matter what they aren't asking to be raped nor do they ever deserve to be raped.

It sickens me and royaly pisses me off that any one would tell a young 16 year old girl any of those things. Is that really the message that you want to send to her? That she deserves it? That she has to rely on a man to be safe? That se should go into the world with fear and distrust in her heart? I don't care who you are you could be the queen of England for all I care but you should never ever tell anyone that and if I ever hear someone saying things like that to anyone I don't care if I know them or not I will call them out on it and I will set them straight.

It infuriates me that there are such pig headed people out there. Those are the people who help rape culture continue cus they take the side of the rapist, they justify the actions of the rapeist by saying things like because they were wearing this they deserved it. No one ever deserves it. 

This girl is one of the sweetest girls I know. She is like my little sister and it kills me that I'm so far away from her cus I can't do things with her like go shopping for dresses. But when I hear from her that people are saying things like this to her it not only kills me that she is being td this but also because I'm not there to put my foot where their heads obviously Curently are. She is my family and I don't care who you are you have no right to tell her these things.

I can't even express in words how infuriated I am by this. It sickens and disgusts me. I just hope to god she doesn't listen to them because she truly does look beautiful in that dress and she shouldn't go into the world with fear and distrust in her heart. She shouldn't feel like she must depend on a man for protection. She is smart and strong and beautiful and should shine like the star she is. It breaks my heart knowing that she went to bed tonight with unease and worry in her heart because of these people who barely pass as anything more than scum as far as I'm concerned.

There are girls out there wearing low-cut dresses that end bairly blow their rears and are so skin tight that nothing is left to the imagination. And yet here my cousin is in an elegant gown being told these awful things. 

What do you want her to wear a burka?

The black one is my cousins dress mine is the purple. If I can wear a dress like the one I'm in in the pictures without being told that I'm going to get raped then she should be able to wear her more conservative dress without being harassed either. 

Where the hell do people get off saying this shit to anyone???!!!!????!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡
