Color Me Green

I understand this reads as a story about educational abuse towards girls mostly, but I think the situation I described might also mirror heterosexual marriage as a system that helps government regulate men and save up financial and social resources at the expense of women.

From early childhood, we are taught to take an active role in raising boys and monitoring their behaviour - to prepare us for marriage, where we will be responsible for how well a man is adapted in society that raised him unadaptable in the first place. In the same extent the government is interested in plugging gaps in important social spheres with women's unpaid labor (the majority of volunteers and social workers are women), it is interested in heterosexual marriage as an institution that is supposed to discourage men from engaging in activities that have negative social consequences - gambling, alcoholism, crime, and unemployment - through women’s positive influence. Patriarchy teaches boys cruelty, disobedience, lack of empathy and social awareness - all the qualities that are detrimental to a functional well-organised society, and simultaneously relies on women to contain these qualities - responsibility first carried out by mother to be consequently passed on to wife.

'Older women disappear from presenting roles across the BBC while older men are regarded as “gaining gravitas and wisdom”, according to an independent review of the broadcaster’s record on representation.

A “noticeable mismatch” in the number of staff and freelance male and female presenters over the age of 60 was uncovered by the review.

It heard evidence that while older men are seen as becoming imbued with greater authority, older women had to either keep looking younger or develop “idiosyncratic personas”.

PP used to be such a good orginization, one I have donated to over the years multiple times. But the shift over the last decade towards pushing gender transition with no safeguards in place has left me with a bad taste even though I believe in a lot of the work they do otherwise.

It's unsurprising that they are shifting towards pushing other unnecessary cosmetic procedures to bring in the cash instead of their core focus of womens health, all the while further morally bankrupting themselves and reducing donations. Who would want to donate knowing their money would go to harming children and providing mostly sexist beauty products.

And all the dudes are like "guess she's learning about equality and accountability"

gen z misogyny is like “women are like rodents or cockroaches and we need to kill them any of them that don’t agree. women are either prudes or whores and both get the death penalty from me”
