HW 17: Femenisitng Blog

I thought the article on the Femenisting blog called wal-mart thinks stalking is a joke by Jessica on Products (http://feministing.com/archives/007832.html). The blog is talking about how wal mart put out a shirt with the saying, “some call it stalking, I call it ‘Love.’” The shirts are giving off a false idea about how stalking is just another way to show love. Many women got offended about this issue and didn’t believe it was right to be selling or even promoting these types of shirts. The article stated a quote that I felt was very true and made an impact while I was reading was, "People don't realize how serious stalking is," she said. "You constantly live in fear, look over your shoulder and suffer from psychological and physical symptoms due to the stress of the stalker." That quote is so true because if someone loved you they would allow you to have your own life and have some sort of freedom allowing you to do certain things without your significant other knowing your step by step moves. This post made an impact on me and really opened my eyes and think that stalking is serious and you should never be stalked by someone who loves you.
