Trans women are hated and discriminated against for their womanhood. Cis women are discriminated against for their womanhood. "Womanhood" in itself refers to ones own identity as a woman, and people are hated merely for that.

Womanhood should not be considered the concept of "acting feminine". Femininity isn't real. Masculinity isn't real. All of these are made-up patriarchal concepts while "womanhood" and "manhood" are self-proclaimed identities. "womanhood" and "manhood" shouldn't imply anything other than that.

Genitalia doesn't define jack shit about someone or imply anything about one's gender. People should simply be educated about it in the sense that "if this is your body, here is information about it and this is how to take care of it".

Also, "boys and girls" should not be separated for "sex ed". Separating kids when teaching them about the human body a ridiculous concept. It isn't "sex" education it's education on the human fucking body. If you as an educator truly believe that you are teaching something "dirty" or "private" that should be concealed when teaching anatomy, you should not be an educator.

"But Ellis little boys can't handle learning about periods-" False. If you're mature about the way you teach, anyone can handle learning anything. Also, just because amab children don't necessarily experience periods that doesn't mean they shouldn't learn about them. Same goes for afab children and learning about erections and such. And no, these functions aren't inherently sexual. Nothing about the human body is inherently sexual. Nothing.

People need to know about the human body outside of a gender binary. People need to feel secure learning about their own human body without being belittled by terms like "man" and "woman" or "female" and "male" in articles. People need to be educated on intersex genitalia as well because newsflash, that exists.

People also deserve to access information on pleasure and how to achieve it outside of a gender binary. And yes, without feeling guilty for wanting to know. This isn't something that is necessary to be taught in schools, I feel, but seeking information on sexual pleasure from unbiased sources (aka not one's parents) shouldn't be demonized in school settings.

Who made that necessary? Just point them out in a crowd, I just wanna talk, I just wanna tell them something.

Kind regards,

I held a door open for someone, as it was swinging shut in their face

- The woman, behind me, then proceeded to stare at me, as I'm alwardly holding the door, in a loud obnoxious voice exclaim "EWW no, I'm not helpless weirdo.."

- I responded with "ok...didn't say you were, just trying to be polite..." before I could even defend myself, she then cuts me off

Rolls her eyes *🙄😒 and says in an even louder voice "You're what's wrong with men"

Now...I don't make a mountain out of non-issues, but as someone who's worked hard to be a good human to others, and has come from a past where I was abused, violated and cheated on...I could have turned out way worse.. I've done a lot of work to understand my place in society, and show respect to others...so you can imagine the heat of the spotlight I felt, being in this scenario

I'm now beet red, which for context is very rare as I'm brown and it means my face was completely flushed from anxiety. Even though I proceeded in to the Cafe, my anxiousness then climbed higher because people who didn't understand the context, and just heard yelling, then started glancing at me, one person glared.

The woman then , about 4 people behind me in line, as I'm looking at the bagels , let's out one my verbal scoff as I now sweatingly try to come out of my disassociative state to order my one thing I was looking forward to this evening....but it came to the point where I felt so uncomfortable , and left to go to a different café location. I felt robbed of my social right to space.

But if I had replied back, who's to say I wouldn't have been seen as aggressive? I felt completely like I had been spat at.

1) I do not have motives, other than manners, if I hold a door open for someone...so if this person had some negative experience with someone else, not my problem.

2) Most people I know, men and women, are courteous people. If you fall outside of this behavior, it makes me think you just aren't fit for a social setting

3) Everywhere left right and center nowadays, all I see on social media is how toxic men are, how men aren't needed, men are this, men are that...but if, as a man who's generally well natured and simply respectful as a human, is going to be publicly LYNCHED over a fuckin door ? Then no wonder why droves of us are now choosing to keep to ourselves.

I grew up under my baba ( my father ) who was a protector, kind, gentle to others and taught respect to women. A man who could have been completely crippled by being a child of the Lebanese conflict, he decided to raise me and my brothers and sisters, to honor our mother first...

I can't imagine a man like that, being in my place during an incident like this. It would break my heart. The idea here being, even though I felt like shit for a while, imagine what that kind of defamatory, vulgar treatment could do to a man who's got a more fragile mental state.

We wonder why male su***de statistics climb?

Absolutely ridiculous behavior and I've never felt so humiliated. Luckily, I was able to recover my evening a bit with headphones and music, but that was a hugely disappointing experience and I think some women, have got some serious fucking issues they are projecting into the world, only to weaponize them and use them to make men feel like they're freaks .

I know I don't speak for everyone, obviously, but I really don't think that enjoying a live action 'remake' means we prefer the live action form to the original animated form?
