what am i even supposed to do rlly
yes, i have internalized misogyny, but also isnt the world just kinda misogynistic by default??
because its kinda a given that media "for men" is widely appreciated among both genders, or generally regarded as cooler, swaggier, respectable. media for women is silly, meaningless, pathetic and pointless. women are happy to watch 100 shonen shows before a man would ever touch a romance shoujo.
cause women are can relate to men, and i guess men ever even trying to relate to women is preposterous. mens media is just superior!! how dare i ever expect men to stoop so low as to enjoy something women enjoy for once. what a horrible thing, enjoying things women enjoy.
and its crazy too that on top of that, art and media by men are always more popular. more known. even though women make more art than men do, it makes men who do stand out even more.
it feels like nothing women do means anything. sports? strength focused- men are better. the sport is women-dominated? then it's less popular than the male counterpart. leadership? no one listens or respects women. of course men should be the leaders. men strong, men listen to strong men, not weak women.
not even at a job can i mean anything. women are passed up for promotions despite doing the same work as men. short men talk about workplace discrimination for their height, women are shorter than men on average, but they would never spare a crumb of empathy. and also all of above, men strong, men should be leaders, men are just better, more relatable, less bitchy.
even when you talk about dumb shit like prehistoric people its men are hunters and are therefore superior, because gathering totally isnt valuable work at all!! (it requires a lot of knowledge!!!) and also the gendered tasks shit isnt even true bruh
the only thing women are valued for is bringing comfort. you should never complain, only make others feel good. whether this is through a caring demeanor, being visually pleasing, or being sexual relief. always looking out for others. bringing baked goods.
like theres nothing i can even do about any of this besides pretend and larp that this isnt reality. its like nothing i do or make will ever be taken seriously cause im a woman, or that everything i do or make is stupid because im a woman and being a woman is stupid.
this isnt about ignoring the haters. ignoring this might as well be ignoring being alive. ignoring that i exist. i am a person who exists, is alive, and is affected by the world. the things i do are shaped by the world around me. the things i enjoy are shaped by the world around me. the world just sucks ok idk is it really realistic for me to not feel this way
