    I know it shouldn’t need to be said, but as a woman, THANK YOU! Thank you so so much for being a safe haven with actual conscious awareness of the dangers women face. We need more men that will stand up to the stupid Alpha Bros and stop shit before we are in serious trouble!

    One thing that might help you help the ladies in your life is coming up with a code phrase that lets her tell you she doesn’t feel safe in a situation that requires discretion. Ex: “Janice texted me” (with a name yall never use). My fiance and I have a code phrase, and I’ve had to use it twice. It feels good knowing I have an out no matter what when things start feeling sketchy.

    I mean, don’t get us wrong. We are WAAAAAAY pissed off at the 1% shitlords… but we are also WAAAAAAAAY pissed off at the people that just let shit get this bad just in time for us to enter the “real world.” Ya’ll watched this happen and, for the most part, did nothing to stop/fix it. Some of you even elected shitheads that accelerated the issues, all while telling us, “No child left behind,” “You can do ANYTHING you want!” “Work hard, and you will be ok! You’ll have a house and a car or two, and be able to retire! Just work hard!” “Going into the military is all honor! You’re helping/protecting your country!” Yeah, no, the military in many countries is only interested in protecting foreign investments. I respect anyone willing to go to war to save their people. But fuck the government(s) that lie and then send young men and women off to die for fucking oil. “The government has your best interests at heart!” Riiiiight is that why they are trying to make it so that if a young woman gets fucking raped and has a nonviable pregnancy come of it, her only choices are risk near certain death or become a felon? Sure. Naw. Ya’ll coulda stopped this train before it was going supersonic, but you didn’t. THAT is why we are so FUCKING pissed off at the generations before us.
