it feels burning red to like men.no,not in the sense that as a woman I have to eventually fulfill some twisted sexism trope(that's a still a fear). no I mean as in I feel like I betray my fellow community.yes ofc I know this man wasn't the one that hurted my best friend a year ago, yes I know this isn't the male celebrity I liked for my while life who gets accused with sexual assault but my subconscious doesn't act like it knows, it's just recognizes the thread pattern.
lets look at the recent example I read Red white and royal blue I watched the movie a day after and I've been consuming media about it for a week now.at first it was all well.yk quotes from the books, movie scenes, some song referances but as the time went on the parasocial relationship effect kicked in and people started posting personal things from the actors like old Instagram ss,singing videos,interviews that got nothing to do with red white and royal blue.that's where my discomfort started,where I questioned how people could trust a man that easily -especially after what we've seen for years with many, many public bknz.johny depp-figures saying things like my pokie boo or started getting aggressive to people who didn't like them. idk I just know when I'm gonna like a photo of the actor taylor zakhar pèrez smiling or nicholas galitzine doing a good recipe video my fingers quiver and i ask myself if am I doing something wrong(patriarchy irrecevablely broke me and I'm never gonna recover me thinks)
THIS FACE!
‘So bitch, you “killed” those goats, right? RIGHT?’
I just had this conversation with my friend and I thought I'd share it here : believing that feminism has to educate men in order to destroy the patriarchy because we cannot do it without them (this is what she believes) is believing that men oppress us because they are ignorant. It is saying that they oppress us because they don't know what they're doing and don't realize they are doing something wrong, and that somehow this ignorance has been going on for centuries. It is being overly naive. Men aren't babies. Men aren't innocent little beings who would never hurt us if they knew their actions were hurtful. They have been oppressing us for thousands of years, we have been figthing against it for thousands of years ; how could it be possible for them not to understand what they do ? How could they possibly take away our rights without understanding what they do ? How could they hit us, rape us, traffick us without understanding what they do ? And it's not like feminism is new. We have been fighting for centuries and they have been fighting back for centuries to prevent us to free ourselves. They don't read feminist books, they don't take listen to our sperches, they ignore us when we talk about our rights, they mock us, they don't take us seriously. And listen to them speaking. Listen to them giving each other relationship advices, teaching each other to manipulate us. Listen to them talking about us. Read their comments on the internet. Read their damn books and essays about feminism and women's rights. They know what they're doing. They don't care about us. They hate us, they don't see us as humans.

whenever I find a man attractive and he doesn't make the first move I just go mehh he was going to disappoint you in unimaginable ways so why bother
Women have another option. They can aspire to be wise, not merely nice; to be competent, not merely helpful; to be strong, not merely graceful; to be ambitious for themselves, not merely for themselves in relation to men and children. They can let themselves age naturally and without embarrassment, actively protesting and disobeying the conventions that stem from this society’s double standard about aging. Instead of being girls, girls as long as possible, who then age humiliatingly into middle-aged women, they can become women much earlier – and remain active adults, enjoying the long, erotic career of which women are capable, far longer. Women should allow their faces to show the lives they have lived. Women should tell the truth.
— Susan Sontag, from “The Double Standard of Aging”
