America has a serious misogyny problem

Merely listening to the newly elected president and vice president more than proves the point.

We have very far to go.

It may be 2024 but too many Americans live in the Dark Ages when it comes to valuing females.

Scared of becoming just another man among men.

It’s the patriarchy. It’s been protecting mediocre men from genuine competition and accountability and since they don’t wanna do the psychological work to be better people the patriarchy excuses assholery as being a man blah, blah, on and on. Abusive men get a lot of benefits personally by abusing and controlling women. Free labor, emotional labor, are just two among many.

The male adult children don’t wanna grow up.
