Now I’ve heard it all. Today I was told that feminism is the reason that misogyny and patriarchal values are worse now than fifty years ago.
That if women went back into the kitchen, gave up their jobs and focused on being good wives and mothers - men would behave better.
This was in response to my discussing Gisele Pelicot and the sheer number of men involved in assaulting her.
Apparently if women don’t adopt more traditional values immediately - we are to be blamed.
I can’t with this crap anymore.
Men assault us - it’s our fault.
Men drug us - it’s our fault.
Men cheat on us - it’s our fault.
We say too many men - it’s our fault.
We call out bad behaviour? Not only is it our fault but also our responsibility to fix it.
Men - it’s not OUR job to fix your bad behaviour. If we could fix it - we would have by now.
Start holding each other accountable. Stop revering, protecting and electing rapists and serial abusers. Stop blaming women.
