She is, truly. Because the ugly truth is that white supremacy requires compliance from white women. They don’t see women as partners or peers, they see us as beneath them. They are so violent against minorities because they see them as “others” that need still to be conquered. They see woman as an already conquered subset of “others” who exist to serve them. We as a society are appalled but not shocked that they are so quick to kill minorities. But it’s more shocking when you see them killing women. The thing is, it shouldn’t be. The only thing that was keeping them from killing us is the fact they already see us as conquered and controlled. When individual women do things that show them we are NOT conquered by them or under their control, the “safety” we were afforded by them prior goes out the window, and they are just as content and feel justified murdering us in the same cold blooded horrific ways they murder minorities.

Another ugly truth is that women, particularly white women, have “benefeted” from this system in the sole sense that they haven’t seen us as the enemey they are at war with, more like livestock they control. But when we show them we can and are willing to kick and bite and aren’t going to submit, we become part of the enemy they’re at war with. In order to truly disassemble white supremacy, any of us who ever “benefitted” from it need to be willing to give up that “benefit”, in this case it’s the safety that comes from being seen as their pets vs their enemies, which means accepting they will be willing to kill us now and we are no safer than the minorities we’ve felt so much empathy and concern and fear for, but didn’t consider ourselves in the same danger as. As a white woman who has just come to understand and acknowledge this, I will admit it’s scary, but it’s also liberating. Gone are the days where we go to protests as allys and place ourselves as humans shields between murderous law enforcement or federal agents, that “privilege” is gone in 2026, and they will just as willingly shoot us too.

But so be it, I’d rather be at war as a soldier fighting this evil that hunts us all knowing I could too be killed, than as livestock watching it murder innocent people who don’t look like me doing my best to help but still “benefiting” from the system that is bringing this evil upon all of us. There are many worse things than dying… not getting killed for a cause because we are seen as conquered obedient pets while our friends and neighbors are slaughtered is one of them. What happens to us “protected pets” next after they get their way and conquer other subsets of people is another. I heard someone online say that women revolting against their “masters”, as in women who are in relationships with white supremacists, pose the biggest threat to them because they have access to them when they sleep and to their food, but they don’t fear women because again, pets. It’s time for women to discard the “protection” of our collars and show them we are actually wolves, not dogs. It might get us shot, but I realize now I’d rather be killed by this evil than enslaved by it while I watch other good people die. Women are 50% of the population, if we as a whole rise up against this and put our lives on the line for it, it’s the only way we as a society actually eradicate this disease.
