The fact that I have to start this post off with what I'm about to say is utter bullshit because I shouldn't have to, and yet, here we are:

This post is not for men or women with internalized misogyny.<br><br>The fact that I have to start this post off with what I'm about to say is utter bullshit because I shouldn't have to, and yet, here we are.<br><br>1. Women, stop the internalized misogyny shit. Women who do this are part of the problem. Your life is not better because you are 'one of the boys.' Stop trying to fit into a space you will never fit into.<br>2. Women, stop letting your children idolize men and/or worship them. Women, stop letting your children see men as 'the head of the household' and as providers. This can be blamed on you. It's your job to teach your children the truth about men.<br>3. Women, stop letting your children know that they have to marry a man to be happy. Stop teaching your children to value relationships between men and women. <br>4. I've never seen a woman who is in a happy relationship with a man. The reason I say this is because women are always defending their man, and they're always making excuses for them. They're never to blame. They're always the victim. This is a huge indicator of an abusive relationship.<br>5. Women, stop saying that you're 'lucky' to have a man who doesn't abuse you or beat you. I've seen this on plenty of posts. No, it's not luck, it's common sense.<br>6. Women, stop romanticizing your abusive relationships with men. This is. Not. Love. If you're receiving gifts from a man who is abusive to you just to get you to stay, you're being *bribed.*<br>7. Women, stop letting men force you to share your location when you're out with your friends. Stop letting men force you to not go out alone. This is a huge indicator of an abusive relationship.<br>8. Women, stop letting men force you to give them your phone. If a man ever takes your phone and starts reading your messages or looking at your pictures, that's abuse.<br>9. Never give a man your passcode. That is a huge indicator of trust. If a man can trust you with his phone, you should be able to trust him with yours. No one is 'protecting' anyone by taking their phone.<br>10. There is a difference between asking for a hug and forcing a hug. If you say no to a hug and a man forces you, that is abuse.<br>11. There is a difference between asking for a kiss and forcing a kiss. If you say no to a kiss and a man forces you, that is abuse.<br>12. There is a huge difference between asking to have sex and forcing you to have sex. If you say no to sex and a man forces you, that is abuse.<br>13. Never assume that every man you meet or date is a good man just because your friends, family, etc. say he is. That has nothing to do with you. It's your body, your decision.<br>14. Women, stop letting your children have a father figure in their lives because you're lonely or you want to share the responsibility of raising your children. Your child should never be a reason for you to date someone you're not compatible with.<br>15. Women, stop letting your children know that they need a man to open their car door, pick them up, take them on dates etc. Your child should never need a man to do anything for them. If they can't take care of themselves, it's because you didn't teach them.<br>16. You do not need to allow your children to have a father figure in their lives just because their biological father is not there. It's not fair to the child and it's not fair to you. It's not healthy for you or your child to have a man around when he is useless and has no value other than being a 'dad.'<br><br>This post is the truth. I'm not here to coddle anyone. If you're getting defensive over this post, take a long, hard look in the mirror.
