Just a thought, but...

I have no real reason for this... I think I was just bored. My friend told me to make an alt account for a project and I thought, hey, why not? I can post on r/killallmen too... I thought up a username, and it's really fucking funny here. Still no reason to post... I've never had a reason to before. Why should I now? I thought about a topic, but I realized someone else had already posted on that, so I thought, hey, why not post this thought instead? <br><br>Why do we need r/killallmen? I suppose it's all part of that saying, "Your best weapon is your voice." But I never thought that was true. I never thought that words could actually do anything. I don't even know how to begin to explain this, and I'm sure someone will think this is stupid. But I here go... I don't see how r/killallmen is going to do anything. I mean I know this isn't the only place we go to vent about our issues, but I feel like it isn't really helping. I've read a lot of posts here and it seems everyone is angry. I feel like I need to protect myself, I know a lot of women I respect feel the same way. If you live in America or know anything about our politics, you'll probably know the same I do about the recent Supreme Court nominations. I know politics can be a touchy subject, so I respect most people's decisions to keep their beliefs to themselves. <br><br>I feel like r/killallmen might make me a lot more angry than I already am, and here are my reasons:<br><br>1. I'm going to be angry because although I have a voice, I have no way of sharing it. I know we can share to anybody we want, but I can't tell people through social media, and I don't think I have the guts to do a protest. I am quite frankly, scared.<br><br>2. I'm going to be angry because some people, especially men, think they're gaining power over us, and they're allowed to be so unafraid. Why do I have to be so scared of speaking out against them, but they don't? I can't explain why this makes me furious.<br><br>3. I'm going to be angry because I know I'm not the only one who thinks like me. I'm going to build a community... that I'm scared of, because they'll probably silently disagree with the ranting of every post I see. I know that I'm not strong, but I know I'm not weak either. I know I'm not the only one who's scared to speak out. <br><br>I feel like r/killallmen might make me angry because I won't know how to share my voice with anyone. I don't want to seem weak like I am now. I want to be able to have an opinion or something to say, and not feel ashamed.<br><br>In conclusion, I've been thinking about this for a while now and I realized I don't have the answer to this question. I'm glad you read this... I don't know how I thought this post would help you, but I'm glad you read it.
