Maybe it's a sign of my own internalized misogyny? I'm not sure, I hope not. I expect bullshit from men and maybe I'm becoming more biased because I've made a very concentrated effort to limit the amount of men i come into contact with. So I'm just not seeing male bullshit as much anymore because I've trained myself to immediately discard their opinion.
I see a shitty red pill title? Click Not interested. Idiot tries to talk me? They get a short close ended non response. Try to go in my dms? Blocked and ignored.
But the women in my life both offline and online are starting to drive me nuts. I didn't think it would be this hard to surround yourself with women who are also pro woman.
I'm noticing that pickmes harshly criticizing other women and it fills me with rage. I'm tired of seeing them immediately labelling other women insecure for feeling any negative human emotions ever and I'm sick of them condescendingly suggesting therapy
Like they're not suggesting because it would be good for you..it's their way of insinuating that there's something fundamentally wrong with you and you need to go fix it before trying to reenter society.
I noticed two forms of extreme pickmeism. The first being the hyper feminine traditional patriarchal kind that jump at every opportunity to call other women a bad wife or mother. And the "not like other girls" kind who reject femininity to be like "one of the guys".
I just saw a bunch of women scold another because she tried to set boundaries with her boyfriends "best friend" who was a woman trampling over boundaries by calling him at 1am
Now both of them in the situation were wrong. The "best friend" for disrespecting that relationship and the girlfriend for not going straight to her boyfriend about the problem since he was the one entertaining the entire thing. He should've been the one telling his "best friend" to back off.
I scrolled down to the comments to see some common sense only to be met with a bunch of pickmes saying the girlfriend "isn't a wife" so she basically needs to know her place and that the boyfriend doesn't need to cut off this disrespectful woman best friend of his.
Wtf? Like why do they spin EVERY situation to be the woman's fault? Yet when patriarchy comes to bite pickmes in the ass you'll be the first one they cry to about their low value boyfriend treating them like trash.
They only value women's help after getting burnt by the men you've continuosly warned them about. And it's like I can't escape it. My mom is a pickme, my sister is a pick me, my grandma is a pickme. My aunts are too. My best friend is one to an extent.
With my best friend she'll defend women which is great. But then bragged about "bagging" an older man like he's the prize when he's not. He got charged for illegal possession of a firearm, he has a bad temper, and is extremely controlling.
He groomed her from when she was a teenager and now that she's financially reliant on him, she can't just leave. There's nothing I can do unfortunately because she thinks this guy is the one for her. She deserves so much better but now she's stuck and I have no money to help her get away.
This is all so horrible. I don't think have any women in my life who aren't at least minimally male centered and it's so disappointing. I'm getting tired of watching women tear apart other women's bodies knowing how painful it is..
Im getting tired of them making mother's feel bad about every single thing they do.. especially if it's a single mom doing what she can. I'm tired of pickmes blaming women for men's shitty behavior then crying when it's their turn for the disrespect
I guess this is more of a rant than anything. I feel like I'm a bit naive. This is the only place I know will understand. I've always wanted to see a genuine sisterhood and I'm realizing just how hard it's going to be to find it 😭
I'm sorry, it sounds like you are having a hard time. I often feel very left-out from the heteropatriarchal bullshit that so many women seem enamored by. It's hard to be friends with people sometimes when they are so dickmatized by skeezy losers. But, there are tons of good women out there to be friends with, you just have to know where to find them. I'm not sure what your hobbies are but it might be good to find some social events in your town that are women-only. I've found books to be a nice escape as well, when real life is a disappointment. Hang in there.
