Twitter is like this. Men are free to show their defectiveness. It’s been eye opening. But therapeutic. I no longer have to maintain the cognitive dissonance of believing them worthy of respect. https://twitter.com/7wimpund/status/1353792548922417152

I’m amazed at the extent to which I’ve never really questioned what men have actually done to earn their elevated station in this world. I just accepted that they must have earned it somehow.

And women must be a bit sub-par, and weren’t men so chivalrous and heroic to carry the burden of us and our children. Such self-sacrifice when they could have been off on their adventures.

Little did I know that there was no heroism there at all. What’s heroic about shoving women aside in their land grab? And propagandising it to say women are merely ribs, while men are made in god’s image?

How psycho is that, when you think about it? If they were the heroes to women that they proclaim, wouldn’t they have used their strength FOR us rather than against us?

Wouldn’t they have built a world in which women thrived, instead of making us do their laundry and clean their toilets? And calling us whores, sluts and witches if we tried to forge our own path in life.

And I might have been prepared to say that’s in the past and people didn’t know any better, they were brainwashed by the church. But now they have a new word for women who want some space - TERF.

They have a new ideology, just like the old ideology. Ask what men need, put men first. Never even consider the question, “What impact do my actions have on women” It still doesn’t matter.

Which begs the question - should women listen to men? Consider their needs? Their feelings? What impact our actions have on them? Where is the value to women?

But we can’t extricate ourselves. They won’t let us. They keep changing the rules, changing the language, so that they have access to us. And there’s no one there to stop them. There are no heroes.

Because the heroes are part of the game. They want access to us too. They’re not going to give up their privileges. So women are fucked. Literally.
