Because no-one should ever have to say "yeah, that whole date rape thing? where I was unconscious and you fucked me anyway? I'm not okay with that".

Because I don't want to wear a smile all the time, as though it were some magic charm.

Because explaining to your friends that jokes about having sex with women in ways that are unpleasant for them are not funny, because they bring back awful memories, is in itself painful.

Because all music means different things to different people and women are creators and listeners too.

Because coming out shouldn't be so hard.
Because people would hurt one another so much less if they could be honest about their desires.

Because running should be about running, not about what time of day it is and how rough is the area and are you carrying a phone and a torch?

Because it's none of your business whether I'm married, until such time as you might need to know.

Because wanting to be or to stay a woman shouldn't make it harder to get a job.

Because polygamy works for some people, some of the time, and if you don't like it, you don't have to do it. Because honesty is the basic principal of truly polygamous relationships.

Because information and advice about how our bodies work should be freely offered. Because control of our own selves depends first upon knowledge.

Because every time I hear a rape joke all I hear is someone kicking a victim. And because every time a rapist hears a rape joke, they hear affirmation.

Because my hips will never be as slim as hers, but neither will my belly be as full as his, and what harm would it do you either way?

Because it isn't up to you. Did you really need to ask?
