women in the eyes, when they say "Spread your legs before opening your mouth" and tell them, that is their life, they warrant no better, it is the mans world. sit down and shut up.

i hear it plenty on here. but really, what man can say this to our youth. to our young girls. and what does it make that man to be so callous and uncaring with what these young women are saying. how they see their world. to so easily be dismissed.

that I am watching these young women speaking their (our) truth and being both overwhelmed with sorrow for them (us) and applauding their creativity and brilliance in the face of this very bad world.

Misogyny makes the (our) world suck.

I have hope. After a long lull, they will go farther than we did.
