I am so exhausted of being afraid of men and their explosive anger.
I am only just realizing the degree to which this affects me. I don’t even trust my own male friends enough to feel safe speaking to them openly.
They usually speak with such entitlement, certainty, authority, disrespect, and aggression, even if they are insecure or “feminized”/non-hegemonic as fuck. (Most men who think they aren’t the stereotypical guy are just another variant of the same old misogynistic male.) They compensate for feeling bad with these horrible qualities.
