this morning when i was journaling (as i dont usually do), i reiterated one of the thougts i think on the most: women and men. i wrote down specifically "if you truly want to be tapped in as a woman and you genuinely believe that men and women are equal, you're gonna have to wake up." in saying this i do not mean that women are socially superior to men, yes women and men deserve to be equal in a social setting, career setting, yknow we both deserve equal rights. but, i am saying i do genuinely think of women as superior in a biological sense. and i mean this wholeheartedly. i mean it genuinely confuses me when i think about how forever its been about men and how they are superior. while you do need sperm or whatever to fertilize an egg, the woman does do all the rest of the work. she grows a child!!! a whole human.
the world consists of nothing but women and their children.
while men can be the bestest fathers, they still do not hold the same biological bond that the mothers do with their children. the child has heard their mother's heartbeat from inside of her, while she was simultaneously growing their heart.
i think it is not only childbirth that makes women biologically superior but also the fact that we literally bleed out of our vaginas... we handle tremendous amounts of pain while going on with our daily lives... the same pain would probably put a man into shock. we handle life in a system that was built for a man, while living in our own, separate inside world, a woman's world.
ill prouldy come out and sya jokingly to my friends, "i hate men." but i dont know how true this is... i actually love men yknow. i love men in a way thats complicated. i fear them. i am mad at them. i lust for them. i am sad for them. i feel empathetic towards them... even after all they have done to women and so many other groups of people. theyve built a system that is not just against all others beings (nature included) but also against themselves.
i just wish it would all give in and there would be a change.
while people say that this has gotten better in the past decade or so... i dont think it actually has. with the revival of "thats so gay" and that redpill shit online convincing men that women are worthless sluts, its actually affected teenage boys and is harboring another generation of hiding emotion, being "strong", avoiding the "weak" traits, mistreating women. i think personally, this is not what a true man is, its instead just a projection of trauma and insecurities probably stemming form primarily emotional neglect passed on.
in my definition of a true man, i see a man who is willing and able to convey his emotions in a way that is nonviolent. i find him to be empathetic and kind in his ways, but also willing to stand up for himself and also what matters most to him. i see him having weak moments but never regretting or shying away from admitting the weak because its human. honestly when i think of a "true" man i think of a woman.
i think this may come from the fact that we as women have kinda been expected to conform and act as a man does, or not act at all, be dumb. i think often times women turn on one another because of this... yknow i see women calling other women bops or sluts or whores, male-centered birds... but if thats all they know its all they know, if thats how they cope with the patriarchy thats how they cope. but i dont think this is how it should be, i think, again to be truly tapped in to the world and your mind and your spirituality as a woman you need to wake up to what it even means to be a woman, and that you are not built like a man is and its not your job to perform as one either. you need to find out what that means to you!!!!
p.s. dont mean this at all to come off terfy. i am not a TERF!!! transgender women are just as important in this conversation as cis women are, i am speaking from my own experiences as a cis woman though and do not know specifically how to speak on the transgender womans side of it because i have not lived that experience. i love trans women and would never mean for this to even seem in any shape or form as against them!!!! i should do more research and add on if i deem it appropriate for me to speak on because again, it is not my experience.
