Short excerpt from a YouTube monologue ("Don't let the guy touch you!" by Anwar White) advising listeners—especially plus-size women—to enforce clear physical boundaries on dates. The speaker argues that allowing unsolicited touching signals permissiveness and can relegate a woman to being seen only as a sexual object; saying no earns respect and discourages predatory behavior.
Jen said. Okay, wait. Explain. Touch. So if you're on a date with a guy and he starts touching you, he wants you. He wants to see, can I have access to your body or not? Are you gonna let me.
He will respect you more if you say no. If you say. If you let him do it, he's gonna put you in a category. Oh, this is a girl that I can get off on. That's it?
Yeah.
And I want to just say, especially for the ladies that are bigger or plus size, these men will try you. They will think that, okay, she's a bigger woman. She might not care about her body. So I can do whatever I want with it. Your boundaries are going to have to be stronger.
Yeah.
So I'm keeping it real with you if that offends you. That's not my intention. I.
So what's that? So no shade doesn't make it less shady.
Girl. Am I being shady? I thought I was. What did the girls say? Keeping it real.
