I spent so long being told/believing that I had to have a rational reaction to everything despite the fact that I am in fact a walking talking well of emotions

The prefix is about men because our society has deemed it masculine. If a girl sits with her legs apart she's told to stop because she is sitting like a man. If a man sits with his legs crossed he will be shamed for being to feminine. Femininity and Masculinity are social constructs made to force men and women to act in favour of certain stereotypes.
Men get hurt by sexism too. Feminism is equality for men and women. A man should be able to do what a woman can and vice-versa. This is what feminism promotes, not a women are better ideology.
You know if we're going to use "man" prefix like "mansplaining", "manspreading", "manthreading" and so on, then we should be able to use "fem" as a prefix as well like "femsplaining", "femspreading", "femthreading" and shit like that. It's only fair. And isn't feminism about equality and fairness?
But not THAT kind of equality!!1!
Finally, a sane celebrity who doesn’t bend the knee to feminist bullshit.

Something I've noticed is that women want to see each other suffer under patriarchy. I'm the youngest by far at a very small office (20 years younger than the next younguer woman, 6 women in total), also the oly unmarried/ and sometimes, as they complain about their husbands not helping them, their kids playing videogames all night instead of homework, schools demanding their time as if they had no other obligations (seriously, why is the Independence Day school act at 11 AM?), having to make dinner night after night without any help from their husbands or sons (they don't have daughters so IDK if they would make them help), all without any semblance of thanks or apreciation for their tireless mothering.
And sometimes, between chatting and complaining about their families, they make an aside, and they look at me. And say "It will happen to you".
"I came home at 10 pm after work and my second job to find my husband hadn't made dinner, bathed the children or even stopped playing online for 5 minutes, and it will happen to you".
"Whenever he stubbed his toe, he acted as if he was dying and I had to care for him, and it will happen to you."
"I get up a 7AM saturdays and sundays to take them to rugby matches while he sleeps in, and it will happen to you".
They say it with relish too, as if they wanted me to suffer that way. As if it made their woes more bearable to know that it's something that they coud've never escaped, something fundamentally inherent to womanhood.
