Honestly this mass backlash freakout meltdown from men just tells me that feminism is winning. No one acts like this when they’re confident they’re in charge of a situation. They’re losing ground and getting left behind, they know they can’t put the genie back in the bottle, they’re happy destroying their own brains all day. Women just have to keep running the ball and building class consciousness

“The Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque is a lovely medieval Cistercian abbey that is one of the best places to see Provence’s famed lavender fields…”

Isn’t it so fucked up how men will constantly try to deter any woman’s sense of safety or power? If a woman says she has big dogs to walk with at night, you’ll find men saying “Can it take a bullet” or if a woman has a gun they’ll say “I can just twist your wrist and take it from you”. They’re always intentionally trying to make us feel threatened and unsafe. Men will go the extra mile to find every possible way to antagonize and harm women, if we have the power to defend ourselves, they will do whatever it takes to undermine it because for them, putting women in danger, stripping us of our agency and safety, gives them power and control. And they have the audacity to call themselves protectors and actually delude themselves to believe it. The idea of women protecting themselves and taking precautions angers them, which is why they always feel the need to undermine it.

Radfems - I highly recommend reading some stuff from before 1975. Learn more about why 2nd wave feminism emerged when it did. Learn about the conflicts we're repeating.

There are no simple answers to how we deal with the question of uniting as women with all of our differences; however we can learn from the successes and failures of the past.
