The hardest part of being a woman is the reliability of men’s collective behavior towards us.

The hardest part of being a woman is the reliability of men’s collective behavior towards us. <br><br>In a world where men are in charge, women are by definition second class citizens. (Even if we happen to have some power, some privilege, if women are openly oppressed, treated like second class citizens, our status is lowered). Women are the collective “other”, and our lack of rights, our lack of safety, our lack of respect, our lack of equality, our lack of power, our lack of our bodies being our own, our lack of reliability, our lack of intelligence, our lack of collective humanity, our lack of shared inner lives, our lack of collective souls, our lack of personhood, our reduction to ‘female parts’, our reduction to ornamentation, our reduction to functions our bodies can perform, our reduction to collective punchlines, our reduction to baby makers, our reduction to objects, our reduction to property, our reduction to animals, our reduction to things, our reduction to collectibles, our reduction to *collective Other*, are all reliability. Women know that the reliability of men’s behavior towards us will always be predicated on *their* pleasure. That our status is *always* based on how *they* feel. That we can never feel safe. That our bodies will always be up for grabs. That reliability is something we can never feel. That our bodies are never our own. That how we are seen, treated, spoken to, interacted with, will always be predicated on our *looks*, our *sex lives*, our *compliance*, our reliability to follow the rules of patriarchy. That we will always be reduced. That we will always be lesser. That we are collectively *their property.*<br><br>#misogynykills #misogyny<br><br>Edit: This post is a call to our collective action, our collective resistance, how we can create change as a collective feminist movement. I post here to foster discussion, create feminist community, and to give words to the emotions we may all be feeling in how women are treated and the collective horrors we are experiencing by simply being women. Whether you’ve experienced horrors firsthand or witnessed them in our collective society, we are all constantly experiencing the effects of patriarchy and I think it’s important that we have places to express our feelings. We are collectively healing and I think it’s important to have a space in which we can express ourselves, and also to organize and discuss how we can create a feminist utopia. How do you think we can create a feminist utopia in how women are treated, collective behavior towards us? How do you think we can create feminist change, foster our collective feminist movement, and create feminist resistance towards the collective behavior of men towards women? What do you think would help us create a society in which women are treated as equals in how we are treated, interacted with, spoken to, seen, respected? How do you think we can create a society in which how women are treated is collective appreciation, love, respect, and awe?
