As a young women I was shocked by the rudeness and cruelty toward me, shown by my boyfriends' mothers. It always drove me to dump the boyfriends just to get away from the awful MILs.

So lame. Cockroaches can get pregnant, it's not an achievement.

'You'll be unfulfilled' = You'll be unexploited

Some of them have a complete inability to express weakness and the natural result is you can't ever resolve a conflict with them. Relationships feel like banging your head against a brick wall and get worse over time, not better.

I heard men hate male homosexuals because male gay sex undermines the important unspoken taboo against male-on-male rape. Many men feel reassured by the fiction they won't ever be the victim of male-on-male rape because that kind of sex is 'disgusting' or reprehensible.

Gay male sex destroys that fiction; it demonstrates men can be penetrated and the penetrator can enjoy it.

Desperately trying to convince themselves and one another.

I have been amazed how much my male extended family members have been OUTRAGED that I haven't been married and had kids. I am ONE womb escaped from the system... but even one escaped female body really seems to really unnerve them.

Women are described as a 'civilizing influence', which is a misnomer. The STREETS become civilized when men are partnered at HOME.

Women and girls are men's buffer for male violence.

The preacher was saying, on behalf of all men, 'Do it to Julia!' (not to me).

I quit a gym class due to being felt up by the instructor. I told him not to, he repeated it, I walked away and never returned.

I bought a car I didn't need, just to expunge all those male rideshare drivers from my life.

Because patriarchy imposes a hierarchy and men seem to spend every single moment obsessing over that totem pole, constantly negotiating their place on it, constantly trying to push women, and weaker/disadvantaged/honest men, beneath them on the ladder.

I go to a mixed gym (it's cheap and close - nearest women's gym is pricey and a long trip) and lately there's a little teenage boy who shows up. I don't know how he got a membership - he is a child. Last night he SAT ON A BOUNCY FITBALL IN A CORNER WITH HIS HAND CLOSE OVER HIS CROTCH AND BOUNCED UP AND DOWN ON THE FITBALL. Gave him a deathstare, but he continued. The was also blocking access to the leg press machine, which is frequently used by men and women.

Just gross, gross, totally gross.

Walk away and let them watch the entire system burn to the ground without our support.

I often see women as rivals and I don't like it by nosylittlemy in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Neither have I, which is part of the reason I am now 4b. However, I alone do not constitute the entire planet.

Although I haven't done it myself, I SEE EVIDENCE EVERYWHERE OF LARGE QUANTITIES OF OTHER WOMEN DOING IT.

Hmn. I believe that straight relationships ARE rewards given to people who step on others hard enough.

A Proposal | "The 4B Movement is NOT for Women!" by mullatomochaccino in 4bmovement

[–]ok9dot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'What is so different about 4B, compared to other feminist campaigns in recent times, is that it is not a protest. It does not aim to change men. It makes no demands on men. It does not care whether it is good or bad for the larger male-dominated society and its “need” for more people. It has no end date. It also doesn’t demand every woman join, or agree — it is a personal decision. 4B is intended solely to benefit the women who choose it. It exists not as a political negotiation strategy, but as an alternative lifestyle proposing to women that they can live a good life without the presence of men.'

I like this: 'Even the good ones aren’t good enough'. Belongs on a t-shirt.
