Masculinity is a delicate flower. Too many egos rely on it not wilting, but seasons change.🥀

Men who respond to tweets about men's horrific behavior with something like, "I don't do that. I am not like those men."
Let's talk about that.
Story time!
Every day I open the news and hope for the one good piece of news. It hasn't come yet.
But, knowing it is a possibility keeps me going.

I think I may be over this place.
Not sure it's moving anything forward anymore.
Not sure if anything is tbh.
Greater picture; Anyone know anyone actually moving things forward and in the right direction? (as opposed to just fighting fires.)
Serious question.

Yeah, seems pretty awesome to have some kids running around that I wouldn't have to take care of. Being a father sounds great!

This is my home too. You don’t get to tell me that if I don’t want you to burn my house down, I should just move. That’s not how this works. Despite what you believe, you are not entitled to touch, own, or destroy everything around you. Your rights are not bigger than my rights.
This guy should bend over and let his wife peg him.
It's just being cooperative.

In 1998, I was fired from my corporate job while 9 months pregnant because and I quote, “my priorities would be elsewhere after the baby is born.”
The lawyer I hired told me I didn’t have a case because discrimination like “that” was almost impossible to prove.
So I got pissed.
Took the LSAT. Went to law school. Passed the bar. Had 3 more kids.
Twelve years later, another woman from that same company was fired for the same reason. She sued them for a million dollars, and won, partly because I had kept every piece of evidence from what happened to me years prior demonstrating a systemic pattern of discrimination against women.
That company no longer exists. My law practice is thriving. And that baby they said would derail my priorities? She’s a brilliant attorney now working at my firm.
Turns out my priorities were indeed, elsewhere.
Recently there has been a growing popularity among "feminists" hating on women who are just trying to navigate a world built for men.
Women have always been blamed for their own survival.
There's a foreign language movie I watched as a teenager called Malena starring Monica Belluci. She's a woman whose husband is assumed dead during the war and she's basically sexually harassed by the men of the city who all want her and women who hate her for her beauty.
She can't find work, nobody will help her and she's taken sexual advantage of by the men in town.
She eventually has to start sexual relationships with occupying soldiers (N*zis) in order to feed herself and stay alive and when the war is over, the women attack her in the town square and cut off her hair as a humiliating ritual in front of all their husbands who all desired her.
It's always stayed with me.

No girl is born with the perfect information about the world and their and other girls' and women's place in it.
All of us are on a journey, and we make mistakes that often years down the line make us cringe or regret. It doesn't mean we were seeking "power."
I was responding to someone's tweet and then twitter had a seizure, and now I can't find the tweet, so here it is.🤷♀️
