I'm giving myself permission to not like men BEFORE they do something fucked up.

And this applies to women in a patriarchy, as well.

Over the past two years, I've been giving people chances to not hurt me simply because I'm female.

But there has not been a single person who has not leveraged patriarchy against me. With men, it's more obvious. Guys who called me bestie have tried to assault me.

I've been accused of being anti-social because girls who have misogynistic boyfriends have leveraged that misogyny against me. They have also, occasionally gone to war with me and then acted innocent because they are female. Men have tried to get close to ME through these women, who act like friends, only to report back to a misogynist.

When you are in a patriarchy, you are at war with everyone who does not actively try to disconnect from the messaging that women aren't entirely people, or that women who objectify other women FOR men are better women.

I see that there are a lot of posts about meeting FDS minded women in the wild, but honestly, we are at the point where viewing women as real humans with valid emotions is fringe. Rape is normal. Fapping to porn is normal. Psychological and psychic warfare against women for being female is normal, and most women will fight against themselves to avoid being the "bad" kind of woman.

We are in the dystopia. Not males.
