    No, women have been telling others - both men and women - about misbehaving men since before we left the forests. It’s really only been since the MeToo era that society as a whole (not just feminists or leftists or whoever) has started to recognize that male misbehaviour actually has negative systemic effects.

    And here you are, after tens of thousands of years of women being being treated as property, as trophies, as broodmares and houseslaves, when their voices are finally starting to be heard on a societal level, complaining that their voices are making you uncomfortable.

    We’re at a time when women’s rights are being eroded, when simply crossing into another state means that a women’s rights and what she can do with her body have changed, and you want them to shut up and sit down, stop fighting and let things go back to where things were before, because you don’t want to have to deal with the legacy of pain.

    If you want to stop hearing the voices, then you can either get into the echo chamber with the people who are radicalizing and weaponizing young men - or you can actually get into the trenches and help make the world a better place. Or I guess you can sit on the sidelines feeling oppressed and victimized and making weak-ass memes.

    Anyway. I’m done with you and your “the world should be different, but I can’t be arsed to actually do anything about it (except post weak-ass memes)”, so welcome to my blocklist: you don’t want to hear the voices of a universe of injured women, and I’m tired of hearing the voices of not-very-opppressed men.
