“Men hate that”

A girl friend of mine, who happens to be gay, told me when she met me: “You are very smart, very confident, and you have a big personality. Men hate that.”

To no surprise, society tends to hate women, more specifically women that actually like themselves.

Men and society being filler words for the patriarchal and capitalistic system we live in. The misogyny even women have inside of them. Judging other women for their actions and behaviours. Pinning us once against each other.

But why?

Because there would be no products to sold, no insecurity to prey on, nothing to fix.

I have never felt more free owning less. Less places, less things, less people.

I have never felt more loved, loving and being loved on no conditional forms.

I have never felt more rich, calling less things mine.

We would all be a bit more free and happy if we first recognized the big man inside of us.

I leave you on an amazing and profound quote by Margaret Atwood:

“Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it's all a male fantasy: that you're strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren't catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you're unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.”
