being told it’s normal if your clothes hurts you and you have to endure it
being told it’s normal if sex hurts you and you have to endure it
not finding basic information about your biology and sexual organs through most of your life
being told that pain is a normal part of your life
being told that if you are a “good girl” you’ll endure it without complaint
being told you should be grateful for the rights you have and finding out in the past you wouldn’t even have these rights
getting brutally shut down if you try to stand up for yourself
getting forced into a role of serving men because “it’s woman’s job”
having your labor dismissed as worthless and stupid
but you have to keep doing it anyway or you’ll get punished
anything you do is considered worth less and generally dismissed
realizing men’s work is praised and glorified even when they do harmful and environmentally destructive work for selfish purposes
realizing you can’t do anything about it and feeling less worthy even when you do more work and more necessary and useful work
having your compassion used against you
having your energy and emotional labor used by men who demand you to listen to them and comfort them and stroke their ego
being laughed at and invalidated and called slurs and insults when you try to talk about your own problems
being called selfish, dramatic, crazy, delusional and damaged when you expect basic decency and compassion
being treated like you’re insane and hysteric if you display any kind of anger at how badly you’re being treated
feeling infuriated at double standards and for how harshly you’re judged and punished while men can get away with anything
doubting your own senses and considering if you really are crazy
being ignored as a human being, your intelligence dismissed, only thing that seems to have any worth is your body but you get shamed, objectified, sexualized, used, violated, predated on and hurt
hating your body and wishing it was a different body, one that nobody would hurt and violate
feeling completely helpless and alone
