Reblogged from CaptainAwkward.com:
Here is Letter #322. It and the other letter are below the jump because it's fucking creepy in there.
Edited to Add: It's frankly depressing that this post has struck a chord with so many people, but I'm grateful and honored to be able to help the letter writers and to have given voice to what so many people were feeling.
This is long, but it needs to be read in its entirety by both men and women. And it should be shared everywhere. Because understanding and embracing these ideas is the only way we have of changing the conversation.
So good. That’s all I can say!
I’m glad you took the time to read it, I think absolutely everyone should. It really puts things in a realistic context and shows where we need to go.
Bravo for reblogging this. As you know, this is a painful subject for me, and I’m very glad to see the subject getting a proper airing.
Laura, I know this one is difficult for you, as it is difficult for far too many women I love and care about, and so many more I have never and will never know. It isn’t enough just not to remain silent, those of us who have voices must shout about it at the top of our lungs.
