it doesn’t just happen
in my bedroom
it happens…
fuck me
it happens everywhere
in this culture
of patriarchy
women being
shut down
women being
turned off
told they are
over-reacting
being inappropriate
childish
too cold
too friendly
not worth loving
not worth listening to
keep quiet
& do your job
(that’s not really a job
not real work
not men’s work)
stop asking questions
stop rocking the boat
stop being so naive
open your legs
& shut your mouth
shut your legs
& have some
self-respect
(but not too much now)
talking to women friends about relationships has me realizing how ingrained this behavior is in our cultures & societies.
it fucking sucks.
i have to deal with patriarchy bullshit every day everywhere…i don’t want to have to deal with it in a relationship. i don’t want my so-called best friend treating me like i’m second-class. the man i love treating me like i’m disposable.
so fucking sucks.
sad but true

Yea I know that the religion of Islam has women being a lesser person than men. but in the west, the feminist movement and gender equality two separate things maybe, has been increasingly popular over the past 100 years.
