What should my first response be? Stuff like this makes people view men in a bad way. It seems like in this scenario one bad apple spoils the bunch. Let's talk about the horrible women in this world. Women who molest young men and get away with it. Men won't speak up because in this world a woman can't rape a man. In this world the woman taking advantage of the man is seen as a good thing.

Ok so I was a bit worried about the way my own biological father looks at me and I thought it was so bazar that I always even end up crying and it seems I’m really not the only one. and then after searching for so long, this is how they put it, “she is like my wife but 25 years younger, ofcourse it’s normal”
men are terrifying, like I wish I could say this is so completely un normal, but how many times do you hear about fathers and step fathers sexually abuse their daughters. like I can’t help but wonder how many just simply don’t act on their thoughts like this guy but still have it in their heads.
and he worst part is, this doesn’t happen when the girl is like an adult, it happens when she is begining or is hitting puberty.
I know this is “dark” and uncomfortable but the more you don’t talk about this, the more it happens and the more men try to normalize it.

An Ode to Rugs
Rugs,
The fifth tenant
of the house I once stayed in
Your placement;
the source of my frustration.
Three’s company,
four’s a crowd
One more’s a horde
And still–
the landlord required your vacancy.
He feared for
his newly-renovated Red oak floors,
That gleamed like glaze
on Honeybaked ham
would become abrased–
Without your protection, of course.
Pointless–
You know, I never had seen the point.
Rugs,
Your width
could only cover but so much …
But, there was another job
opportunity in the wings.
How useful you were for a cover-up;
The perfect safe house for family dirt.
Swept under you,
were the sins of parents–
Daddy’s aloofness and mother’s infidelities
And the rivalry of siblings–
Sister’s hubris and my insecurities
The deeper the dissension–
The more the friction
And, your threads took quite a beating.
Oh, Rugs!
But, you held your weight.
And, you kept everything tucked away:
Pain, tears, fears
All underneath your armor–
and in between the loose cracks
Of floorboards.
Oh, what a faithful servant!
