There are so many people replying to this saying how this girl is “asking for it” because of her top showing apart of her breast. You’ve just proved her point! You are taught by society to believe that a woman must dress a certain way to avoid being raped, instead of a man being taught that it is always wrong to rape. You are conditioned to think that way and it is pathetic and immoral and so so so WRONG. I’m so infuriated by looking at the notes on this. If you think even a little bit, that this woman- or any woman- is ASKING to get raped, unfollow me now because I do not want to be associated with you in any way, shape, or form

"There’s a huge difference between harassing a woman and trying to start a conversation. Here are some tips: talk to her, not at her. Treat her with respect: be aware of her personal space, ask her how she’s doing or what she’s reading instead of commenting on her body parts, look at her face instead of her chest. If she ignores you, drops eye contact, or walks away, back off. It wasn’t rude of you to approach her, but she’s not being rude if she doesn’t want to keep talking to you, especially if you initiated conversation while she was running an errand, waiting for the bus, or on her computer at a coffee shop."

Catcalling Is a Problem: How to Talk to a Woman Without Being Rude, Creepy or Scary (via splatterdick)
OMFG this. May I add something? Don’t call her “babe” or “honey” or any sort of nickname if you don’t fucking know her. When you call me by some generic pet name, you’re making assumptions and taking me way out of my comfort zone.

Straight men who want to chat up women you don’t know, here’s a good check to see if you’re treating her with respect: if you wouldn’t say it to a male stranger, don’t say it to her. Talk to her as if she’s a human being or something. Bitches love being treated like human beings.

Want to hear a great song? (I mean a REALLY great song?)
I taught a songwriting class at Berklee College of Music in Boston in March where I heard so many talented songwriters play some really great songs. Very few of the students have yet to record the songs they played for me, but Ken Yates wrote a tune called “I Don’t Wanna Fall in Love” and posted a live video of it on YouTube. This song moved me when I first heard it in the room and it still does today.
I love teaching at Berklee because I get to meet the artists that are going to keep the music world going strong before the rest of the world does.
Enjoy, two years early.
(lots of love to everyone else that day who fearlessly played their songs for myself and the rest of the room.)

So that just happened…
So I never ever wanted to be one of those students. You know, the ones that go to a professor and complain about a grade and then cry in their office and everything is awkward. Problem is, that’s exactly what just happened. But the grade was bs and I went in there with every intention to be professional and not a hot mess. Oh well.
Job Hunting is the Worst
I went to a job interview on Friday where the person interviewing me was 20 minutes late, didn’t recall any information about me, forgot my resume (after telling me not to bring one because she already had a copy) and then interviewed me for 10 minutes, only asking questions related to what was already stated in my resume. If this had gone the other way around, I wouldn’t expect to be hired. This woman, on the other hand, is in charge of this facility. Go figure.
