Im really done with being in the minority, and being told what I say is opinion and what a man says is fact. Im tired of not being taken seriously because I say it is a matter of men and women, and instead being told its religion, and just "the way things are even if you don't like it". A man can't take responsibility for the fact that the rest of men in history and the present have made us women out to be weak, useless, emotional, objects. He cannot let my fear of walking down my own country road alone, even going outside of the fence, or being home alone, be justified, because he's too proud to say he's sorry that this is what I've grown to be, how terrified I am of being assaulted, harassed, raped and/or murdered. How many plans of action I have in my mind in the case, that a man simply approaches me, even if he has no harm to do. If I were to say that aloud, my family would call me ridiculous. My sister has already bitched at me about it, a self proclaimed "feminist" won't validate my feelings and fears, because "that's just the way it is, even if you don't like it but it will change one day" oh yeah? Tell me then, when because you're not in any way helping us win the war by being passive. I am sick of feeling guilty and weak and wrong because im a woman. Im sick of all my feelings being turned into opinions. Im sick of being compared to worse situations. Just because its not as bad, doesn't mean its not bad, its still a problem, and we need to solve it, for All Women
