How is everybody dealing with the current political ongoings?
Rant time
I am absolutely infuriated, disgusted, and horrified with the state of this country. I cannot wrap my head around this cult like following of this bs. I cannot understand how any of this is being supported, especially from women.
I am not here to discuss politics, frankly I don’t care about either party. They’re all crooks and in each others pockets. What I care about is this insane generational misogyny that is becoming so prevalent and how people have become to blind to the real world problems.
Example:
-The manosphere -Unhinged social media -women’s healthcare accessibility being questioned Etc
I understand social media is toxic, I keep telling myself that I am going to get off of it but it’s like a morbid curiosity thing. I am absolutely repulsed but faascinated by the crazy things that come out of people’s mouths. I can’t stop. I am completely mind blown. It’s not just social media, I work with all men, the things I hear sometimes is foul.
I will admit to being being somewhat of a misandrist. Being someone that’s been on the receiving end of DV, sexual assault, stalking and just general misogyny, I can’t help it. I posted something on Facebook about some creep following me around TWO stores, most of the comments were women sharing similar stories and there were STILL DUDES IN THE COMMENTS DISCREDITING ME. It’s not all men, but it’s always a man.
I’m tired of not being taken seriously, I’m tired of being written off, I’m tired of the blatant disrespect and I’m tired of men not being held accountable for fucking anything. If a man was on the receiving end of anything political concerning their health rights the world would be on fire.
Has this always been a thing and we are just getting to the point where we can actually say something? Why has it gotten so bad?
Again, it’s not all men. I know plenty of good ones, but they seem to be few and far between.
There is no way that people actually think like this, right? It’s not possible for people to be this blind, right? How do you feel?
I’m exhausted.
