My school’s ASB leaders yelled at me today for “creating tension.”

You guys created tension when you decided that endorsing school-wide sexism is okay. I was just the one who called you out on it. I didn’t start the fight, here — you did.

And while, yes, I’m super happy that I got the executive president to admit it was sexist and promise to discontinue the week, “I’m sorry it offended you” is a terrible apology. You’re not sorry because I’m offended, you’re sorry because you did something that was offensive. ”It’s raising money for cancer” is an inadequate excuse, too. I got 27 people to raise $2400 for Relay for Life (that’s over twice as much as our entire school has raised this week), and I didn’t need sexism to do it.
