it was a huge eye-opener for me to see how infuriated men become when a woman denies them the most casual access to her body and mind.

I’m not even talking about women refusing to fuck men, though they obviously get mad about that too.

men will get mad if you say you only go through store lines with female checkers. they’ll get mad if you say you won’t stop to give a male stranger the time. they’ll get mad if you say you’d like to work in an all-female environment, even if, in reality, you can’t.

it fucking infuriates them that we even think about shutting them out of the smallest, most insignificant parts of our lives. they are mad because they think they have a right to interact with us at any time for any reason, and they think that perceived right trumps our right to choose with whom we interact.

I’ve found saying something as simple as “this conversation is over” when I’ve had enough of online debating is enough to incite full on rage from men in their 40s.

If you hold them accountable for sexualizing girls or blaming them for being sexualized it’s enough to start a riot. God help you if you call them predators for that flat out. You will pubicly be called every stupid bitch there is and other grown ass men will ask for you as a woman to apologize for stopping all the fun of the conversation.

I didn’t even think I had a right to end a debate/argument. My father insinuated that wanting to leave = being wrong, because I “couldn’t” defend my stance (not that I just didn’t want to).

But relenting and continuing an argument he’d never let me win was exactly what gave him power, because it gave him the opportunity to manipulate me and wear me down. He made me believe that him not being convinced = it’s not true, because he was the end-all be-all of truth.

There is no actual debate occurring with these types of men, because that would require the possibility of them admitting they’re wrong, which is just not on the table. So continuing a convo is just giving them the power to abuse you. Just walk off and save yourself tbh
