so, why do i hate men? am i sexist?
as far as i can remember, в своих recent videos, я не сказала ничего particularly negative about мужчин, except, “я не хочу to work with them потому что их behavior makes me uncomfortable.” but real hatred? это что-то, что я experienced - my friends have experienced it, millions of women have experienced it, and мы все еще dealing with it every single day. but let’s not dwell on that too much, we all know what’s going on
and honestly, girls, если вы go through the comments, вы увидите exactly what i mean.
мне постоянно говорят if this keeps happening, the problem must be me. что я не знаю how to get along with men, that i’m the one blaming others. что я должна just adapt to them. но если у меня есть the option not to, почему я должна put up with disrespect and go out of my way to accommodate them?
the real hate is coming from men. sexism comes from men. и если мужчины are so curious about why feminists так говорят, they can look it up online. they’re used to having everything handed to them on a silver platter, но правда в том, что we were raised by mothers and grandmothers who instilled a hatred of women in us and taught us to worship men
еvery feminist прошла через несколько стадий:
1. “feminists are stupid, angry, and ugly. нам не нужен феминизм”
2. “я respect women, but i’d never call myself a feminist”
3. столкновение с harsh reality. diving deeper - reading books, articles, watching videos
we were wrong. we hated women. у нас были the same questions men ask us every day в комментах. what did we do? we figured it out for ourselves. in my classes, я рада to explain things to girls because it’s important для них, and i want to make some kind of contribution to their growth. и честно говоря, i’d rather they learn about this with me in еnglish, than listen to some random dude telling them that women already have it great
it’s funny, but я даже не react to the phrase “not all men” anymore, and я думаю адекватный человек gets why. when i say men are awful, i’m not about to go around pointing out the ones who haven’t assaulted, beaten, or insulted women - потому что это не что-то that should make you “special.” it’s pretty easy to look good when everyone else looks terrible. когда я говорю, что ненавижу мужчин, i’m obviously not talking about my boyfriend. i’m not talking about the husbands of the feminists i know. do i really need to clarify that? no.
кстати, the whole “are you gonna start a family with a woman, then?” argument doesn’t work. odds are, you were raised by your mom and grandma, like most people. and no, life isn’t just about reproducing...
