Mom and I were talking about traveling to different planets and colonies on Mars and meeting aliens and stuff like that, and she paused and said, “If life on Earth ends and we need to flee to a different planet, we’ll all need to work together. But also the first time a man pulls some shit, all the women need to murder him so everyone’s clear that we’re restarting society and we’re not bringing that shit with us. We’re not doing this again.”
men’s loyalty to violence is disturbing. when women want a life free of abuse, assault, threat, & coercion, men’s first suggestion is “learn to fight back. learn to defend yourself”. i don’t want my life to be a fight. i don’t want to “prove myself” through inflicting pain & fear.
i don’t find violence and physical conflict fulfilling or self-actualising.
if you are from the USA and gets hurt when some latin american points out how your country helped to fuck our countries up, I’m sorry, but you need to face reality
it’s not that we’re petty or that we are ANTI USA and stuff, we’re just discussing THE FACTS
it’s history (and honestly, it still affects us)
so yeah, the truth sometimes sucks, but we need to discuss this
