a work-related story

I worked from four to twelve at the convenience store gig tonight.  It was a pretty wretched shift, as we were one of maybe three stores open in the whole city (due to a blizzard, hooray for living in Canada) and I was alone, so I was in a pretty lousy mood already.  Then three dudes came in and made it worse.

I didn’t really notice them at first- they were just a bunch of polo-shirt-wearin’ motherfuckers in line buying beer.  The youngest of them had grabbed a case of Budweiser.  One of his bropatriots looked at him and snorted.

“Budweiser?” he said.  ”What are you, queer?”

His friend stared at him, confused.  And so this gentleman kindly explained that Budweiser is a queer beer, made exclusively for fags.  It is also gay.  And fruity.

I am usually alright at gritting my teeth and ignoring this kind of stuff, because, you know, you kind of have to when you work in a convenience store.  But tonight I was not in the mood.  So as the Three Brosketeers gathered up their twelve packs, presumably readying themselves for an exciting night of yelling out of car windows and chest-bumping, I handed them their change and said:

“Well, this QUEER hopes you have a really good night.”

They left without saying anything else.

criminal rapists don’t care about ‘your rules’ 
don’t dress like a slut and you wont attract criminals looking for an excuse

I was sexually assaulted when I was fifteen, by the person I was dating at the time.  My memories of this happening are pretty hazy because that, apparently, is how I cope with trauma, so I’m not sure what exactly I was wearing.  But based on what I usually wore back then, it was probably an oversized men’s T-shirt and baggy jeans.  So I wasn’t “dressed like a slut,” as most people would define it.  But you know what?  If I had been- if I’d been wearing fishnets, or a tube top, or pasties and a thong, or fucking nothing at all- IT WOULD STILL NOT HAVE BEEN MY FAULT.  I wouldn’t have been “attracting criminals,” I would have been wearing what I fucking wanted to wear.  Rape victims do not make the decision to be raped.  Rapists make the decision to rape people.  THEY are the ones who need to change their actions.  How fucking dare you say otherwise.  How dare you.
