after school today i decided to take the kids to a fro-yo place nearby. as we were enjoying our delicious goods, a man and a woman walked in with their young daughter. i instantly noticed them because the little girl was pre.cious. well, they finished dishing up their fro-yo deliciousness and were ready to pay when i was able to get a closer look at the man's tattoos. since i have been tossing around the idea of permanently inking an itsy bitsy flower on my foot, i was pretty interested in his tattoos. the interest immediately stopped when i read on the back of his arm, "i treat every bitch like a slut." WHAT THE FUCK?!
i quickly disregarded the fact that his work of art was completely degrading to women. the fact that i couldn't shake was his precious daughter will someday be able to read those words. i wondered how he would explain his misogynism. i was completely appalled. now, if his wife is okay with the tattoo, more power to her. he, however, should have no right raising a daughter to believe she is a second class citizen.
he should be instilling in his daughter how amazing it is to be a girl. he should let her know she can be anything she wants to be in this world. he should be giving her enough love that she won't need to seek the love of other males at a young age. he should not be publicly disrespecting women in the name of art. he should be saving all his fro-yo money and putting it aside to get his tattoo removed.
sorry for the rant. it really struck a nerve, can you tell?;)
til next time
