A woman's body is never one's own business. So we are taught. God forbid a state of possible pregnancy, pregnancy, disability, fatness, sickness, transness, wearing sweats, femininity, make-up free aging. Growing up where everyone is staring and growing old and everyone turns away. Your body is policed from society, community, and your own internal voice you've been programmed into. As long as you have doubts about your physical presence that can keep you down from trying to have some self determination, confidence and freedom right? 

I saw a tweet yesterday about how we had this era of women and now it is the time of men. Yeah no. The world does not run without us. The labor economy (physical and the uncompensated emotional labor to get people through the day) would collapse without our participation. The world would cease to function. Now the OP was trying to say this not from a celebratory reactionary framework but out of fear. And yes there is much to fear. Anyone telling you that is overblown or isn't especially true for women now is a fool, in denial or dangerous. But we're here. The powers that be and those happy to try and control us will be on a tear cheering our unhappiness, torture and demise but ultimately it's a fight never to be won. We are too important. That's why they hate us, want us, desire and fear us. We exist outside of what men have and they know it. They will never forgive that we are not trapped in the spiderweb of 24/7 first person patriarchal crisis and a fatality lens killing them. Like a Being John Malkovich situation. I mean you see some of how they post online and act in person. Read first person accounts throughout history and fictional depictions. Absorb family stories, friendships' and lovers' confessions and after all this evidence does that seem like a segment of people who overall are having a good time? Some are, I don't mean to position them as all helpless victims without agency, without an unfortunate amount who do hope to victimize others because of their desire to control women. And if they can't dominate they would rather hurt and maybe kill them. You will be called a man hater but statistics and experience are our greatest strength and knowledge.

I don't want men's hierarchal and domineering mindset. I don't want their rage, despair and paranoia and the madness they posses of not knowing themselves. To summarize while men have societal advantages and privileges (though those can shift around and not a one and done and across the board for all men) I think men have a shitshow. I don't look on enviously and think 'Wow look at them they got such a good deal!' With high rates of violence physically and psychologically inflicted on those they know and violence inflicted internally that many times ends in suicide, I'm not sure that's the equality or freedom women should be looking for. There are many challenges being a woman but I wouldn't trade this, not for anything. There is mental freedom from knowing I don't have these burdens that eat men alive and drive many of them in shame to live being never truly close to anyone. A panic reflex toward self reflection if that meant changing anything and a paralysis to be vulnerable and open even if it means survival. They'd rather die quietly inside. I want a better life than that existence. People deserve a better life than that finality.
