disliking and feeling disdain towards men is the DIRECT result of living under a patriarchal society and i will NOT be demonized as a woman, a queer woman at that, for feeling that way.
“not all men!” that’s fine, i’m so glad you’ve done the bare minimum by not abusing women and other minorities. i’m sorry that you feel accused. when i make generalizations about men, no— your name might not be on the list but that is the shadow you live under and women shouldn’t have to apologize for hating their oppressors
not my quote, but one that i think about often:
“saying ‘not all men’ is like saying ‘not all bullets kill.’ True, but irrelevant when you’re in the firing line.”
you, as a man, do not get to police women on how to react to the oppressively patriarchal society that we live under. if i want to make a man-hating joke, i’m gonna do it, and i’m not gonna feel fucking guilty about it.
anyway! sorry! been thinking a lot about this lately
