The women you feel entitled to school know all about this subject from first hand experience. They know what it’s like to be accosted at age 7 by a man showing his penis. They know what it’s like to be sexualised at age 9. They know what it’s like to have men stare at your
2/
breasts and catcall you aged 11. Women know what it feels like when Uncle Joe casually drapes his arm over your shoulder during the family picture & ‘accidentally’ brush against your breast, then do exactly the same next year & the yr after that (except you’re ready this time).3/
Women know what it’s like to be asleep at age 13 and wake to find a male relative in their bed. Women know what it’s like at age 14 to have boys all over you trying to have sex, then shouting you're frigid because you said no. Women know what it’s like at age 15...
4/
to have an ‘accident’ with their period & the ongoing embarrassment & teasing by boys. Women know what it’s like to have a teacher explain that he gave a male student an A grade because he wants to be a pilot & you were given a B grade because you will probably only be a
5/
housewife. Women know what it’s like at age 18 to finally have sex with your boyfriend because he has been pestering you for the last six months and men have needs. Women know what it’s like to go on a date and have to cover their drinks in case a man put drugs in it.

Women know what it’s like to have to go out in groups at night because of the danger. Women know what it’s like to hear about rapes and sexual assaults and domestic violence every day of their entire lives.
7/
Women know what it’s like at age 19 to have the job description change for a new male employee because that’s too dull and boring for a man.
8/
Women know what it’s like to get married at 21 and have kids at 23 because that’s what is expected of you. Women know what it’s like at 23 to discover your husband believes in traditional roles.
9/
women know what it’s like to be the household slave, to do all the work while he gets to sit down after a day at the office. women know what it’s like to be expected to put everyone’s needs before their own, the requirement to be kind, thoughtful, forgiving, accepting,
10/
tolerant, quiet, without needs or wants. Women know what it’s like to be raped and never believed. Women know what it’s like to be beaten to a pulp and then questioned about your own behaviour. Women know what it’s like to have men NEVER hold other men to account.
11/
They know who gets moved on or fired when the office affair ends. They know who is held accountable for the family breakdown when the man has an extra marital affair.

Women know what it’s like to have the courts tell you you’re lying when you tell them he's raping his daughter. Women know what it’s like to have to hand your daughter over to her rapist every second weekend. Women know what it’s like to raise children alone with no financial
