Misogyny

Hey ! Hey you ! You’re a guy, right ?

So, you know about women ?

Yeah ? So, would you know, by any chance, have they gotten worse ?

Have girls gotten worse ?

I argued so, in my past,

Does that make me sexist ?

Jeez. Who am I, my ex ?

I hope that line isn’t copyrighted

What is going on around here ?

Lowkey surprised I never heard from them

After all this time, you would’ve thought

By Jove , maybe, that was always the problem

The expectation

Was this about me being sexiest ?

I meant sexist but autocorrect, for me

Towards men ? Or women ? Or both ? Or all ?

I get why people live their lives pushing sunflowers and rainbows and unicorns and kisses because I am scared

I am scared of women

And men

But mostly women

The patriarchal society pits women against one another as a competition. We’re all living in gym class, trying to show off for the potential mates. So women are constantly tearing the women above them down off that rope climb.

I am scared of pulling ahead on the rope. I am scared they will pull me down if they see me ahead of them. I am living in fear

I’ve noticed a metaphor gets lost on people nowadays

I miss some of the classic stylings of literature

The stuff you learn about in literature class

Like summer school

(Oxymoron)

Well, perhaps I do what I can.

And maybe learn to cook some more

Maybe eat some more, idk, one steak at a time

(I actually am making steak tonight

And I made brownies today)

I will try harder to be compassionate towards other women whom I feel threatened by

Easier said than done (i feel threatened by everyone nowadays)

Have y’all ever had Borderline Personality Disorder ?

Rough case over here
