FOR AUSTRALIAN RESIDENTS.

Give the above number (0450 352 004) out to men or anyone who doggedly persists in trying to get your number even after you’ve already said no. 

SAVE THIS NUMBER IN YOUR PHONE FOR EASY RECALL!

We have all had the experience of enjoying ourselves whilst out, minding our own business, when a strange man will bail us up with unscolicited attention in the effort to convince us to go out with him. These men will not take no for an answer, but will hound us with “kindness”, attempting to wear us down through the sheer force of their persistence even though we communicate a lack of interest. Such men will often become resentful and indignant when spurred because they believe themselves to be “nice guys” just trying to show us appreciation, despite the fact they cannot respect our boundaries and our wishes. They behave as though they are entitled to our attention and we owe them our time just because they decided they thought we were beautiful.

Often times, this degree of unwanted attention becomes a type of passive bullying, leaving us feeling unsafe, insecure and uncomfortable without any sure ways of getting out of the situation because the man in question is trying to set it up so the only exit is giving in. Women are groomed to be nice and pleasant always in social interactions and because these guys don’t use any obvious nastiness it leaves us more conflicted about being assertive.

DON’T PUT UP WITH IT ANY LONGER!

GIVE THESE DISRESPECTFUL MEN THIS NUMBER:

0450 352 004

WHEN THEY CALL IT, THEY WILL HEAR THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE:

Hello. If you have been given this number, it means that you have made someone feel uncomfortable, unsafe, perhaps even threatened. Most likely you have pestered a woman for her phone number, even after she said no. Maybe even said no repeatedly. You put so much pressure on this woman she had no choice but to give you this number in order to get you to leave her alone. If you want to have more success with women in the future, learn to respect our boundaries and our autonomy and accept that we don’t owe you attention. No means no, even when you’re not about to stick your dick in someone. If you would like to learn how to be more respectful towards women, please visit ialreadysaidno.tumblr.com

PLEASE REBLOG THIS AND SPREAD THIS AROUND!

After hearing one too many stories from friends and experiencing one too many similar incidents ourselves, it was time to take action and provide a number that any person within Australia can save into their phone to give out to men who hound them for their number when they are clearly not interested. 

Please reblog this far and wide and please do make use of the number yourselves!!! It is for all people, Australia-wide, who ever find themselves subject to this particularly passive-aggressive behaviour!

This is brilliant.

IT’S BACK

But seriously this is the best phone number to have. One of my friends has used it before with a rather persistent gentleman, and she’s the shyest, quietest little thing and couldn’t get him to leave. EXCELLENT RESOURCE.

from her email:

last night, an arsonist torched the office of Women With a Voice, a new orleans-based organization that helps marginalized women: poor women, sex workers, women with substance abuse problems, and transgender women.  their supplies and ability to help women have been devastated, and i’ve been trying to get the word out:

ok guys, does anybody know how to set up a donation account? on Paypal maybe? somewhere else? fundly.com?

because recently got myself a credit card and I should put it to good use and because our dear spn family member Sashi is sick and needs our help!

If you can take a few minutes to read this, please.

This is Sashi, the friend I care most about in the whole world.

Ever since she was a kid, she’s been suffering from chronic pain on her abdomen, getting worse over the years, getting fucked over by doctors who dis-diagnosed her or flat out told her she was “lying” about her pain just to get pain killers.

After years of awful symptoms, trying to figure out whats wrong, ER visits when she couldn’t bear with the pain anymore, having to rush everytime to the hospital, she has finally been diagnosed with a severe case of Endometriosis, which requires a big surgery that also requires to remove her ovaries that are practically all covered in several tumors the size of big oranges, even she feels the stiffness on her tummy.

Endometriosis consists in cysts (in her case of 8cm) growing around her ovaries and affecting intestines and several organs.

Up-to date, she’s 24, had to quit her job (and therefore having no insurance) because she can barely move anymore. She has developed several other side problems from this disease, she can’t eat because there’s literally no room in her intern organs to proceed any food anymore.

As much as it hurts to type down and as tears well up in my eyes,

She’s dying.

She’s been slowly dying in front of my eyes for the past years of fighting.

After trying several times to get medi-cal, today she got denial again because according to the government she doesn’t count as a “disabled” person.

saving her life is up to a surgery that would cost thousands of dollars, I am uncertain exactly how much, I’m researching that right now, been researching all night, trying to find out some solutions; but if she finally could afford this surgery she’d be able to…start to live again.

Though, is sweet of the person above me that talked about donations, Sashi herself is reluctant of donations because the surgery is really, really expensive and its true, it would require a LOT of work/donations to get to any near goal. 

I don’t want her to die and keep going through this, I would do anything that is in my hands to help her. To prove her wrong, to show her we care. I am writing this against her will because she would not want to sound “needy” or calling for attention for anyone. she’s always willing to help others with their problems, but she’s too fucking nice to ask for help for herself, she feels uncomfortable with this stuff. But, still. I need to write this. And its why she needs to keep on living, because she doesn’t deserve this at all, she’s the last person I know that would deserve this.

Can you take a minute to reblog, spread the word, and help us with any information you may have on some insurance or coverage she could get (medi-cal isn’t an option anymore, she’s been denied many times) maybe some of you know someone, or know about this stuff, hell, maybe there are some doctors out here. Maybe some answers are out there. Is worth a try, anything you can help her with.

btw, she lives in California for further information.

I want her to get this surgery, is really, really a must for her. You have no idea how it frustrates me and how useless it makes me feel when I see her go through the shittiest situations. I just want to help her.

And I can’t believe a gif set made by her gets 10.000 notes and this is getting like 12…people please, speak out. Reach out to her.
