Yes, we know. We know a large contingent of the male population hate us. They are afraid of us, I think. As a gender we are stronger than are they. We are more resilient. We are everything they wish they could be.
These “men” and that noun is being used in the most loose of terms as they aren’t men, are the same group of predators that tell us, that as women, we NEED them as protectors. Do you see the problem with that?
Protectors. Protector us from whom? FROM PREDATORY MEN. Look in the mirror, or any reflective surface.
I’m so fed up of hearing them. You don’t like that women don’t trust you anymore? You don’t like that we would choose the bear? Then MAN UP and call out misogynist “locker room” talk and behaviours. Make it unacceptable in your presence and maybe, women may begin to heal and to hold out an olive branch. We may never completely trust you again but it is a start.
