First came the pack, then came the hunger; then came the hunger for control & then came the tools for oppression. This was swiftly followed by manufacturing an urgent need for subservience and servitude. The concepts of marriage & family were birthed as a result of this unholy communion!
This has been a well documented shift from the standard animal behavior where many apex predators follow a matriarchal leadership style. Whereas we have relegated women across dominant cultures and religions to the sidelines of authority and autonomy!
The most blatant example of this is how women are branded as uptight, nervous mess on or just before their D day. Could it be that they are like that because of the intense scrutiny around their appearance on their special day? The wedding day ceases to be a fairytale moment for a bride -to -be, and is turned into a stage upon which she’s expected to perform flawlessly. But beneath the veil of matrimonial bliss lies a darker truth — a woman’s worth reduced to her dress size, complexion, and conformity to beauty standards.
In the realm of media and popular culture, women who dare to defy traditional gender roles are often portrayed in a negative light.
Career-driven women are depicted as cold, emotionless beings, their personal lives marred by loneliness and discontent. Meanwhile, those who choose to prioritize family are dismissed as relics of a bygone era, their contributions to society diminished and their agency undermined.
We love to blame women for several things, most of them are beyond her control, but she is blamed nevertheless. Having too much fun dancing? What a virtue less woman!
Having no fun and living a quiet life with your cat? What a mirth less witch!
There are many such gems on Twitter, where it is fashionable to shitpost for views.I dare you to scroll a mile on X( famously Twitter) and not discover anything misogynistic.
See, you can never win an argument against them, they would always have something to one-up you, show you your place.
Instead, I say let them feel insecure and show their thinly veiled insecurities through such accusations!
So, I say to you, my fellow sisters and allies — let us rise, unapologetically, defiantly, and resolutely. For the revolution begins within each and every one of us.
