I'm 23 and about to take on my last semester at university in July. During my time here I've noticed a few things about males I didn't didn't notice back in high school. When you're in high school you don't notice much about the opposite gender... But Uni has been another story.
From my first semester I've had to deal with aggressive, violent, scary males who think they're eneritled to me and my body. Messages after messages asking if we can go out. What happens if I say no? They get angry. I'm suddenly ugly and fat.

If I was stuck doing an assignment with a male - and let me tell you, males make terrible partners when it comes to group assignments - they would never do the work. They'd never keep their promises. It was me doing all the work and getting us good marks.
Then there's all the guys who would follow me around, and would make me change my schedule in order to avoid them.
What does this show you? Males are inherently lazy and aggressive. We can't depend on them. If they can't even make group assignments work, how will they make relationships work?

We also know they want to hurt us. We don't need my story to know that males have hurt women consistently since day one.
It's at this point to me I know that males simply drag me down. Too much risk, time, effort, work... Why should I suffer? Why should he bring me down with him? So, I wanted to know why you ladies were going your own way. What's your story?
