sometimes i feel so sad and hopeless being a women in society that i genuinely don’t know how i can live my life and handle it. i know to have community and comfort with other women, it just feels like it gets harder. does anyone else feel this way?

All the time, especially when I talk to men. Hearing how they view us is heartbreaking at times and very fucking annoying at others. The best ways I’ve found to handle it is to have a bit of spite. They don’t want to see you succeed, so you succeed anyway to prove them wrong. Remove yourself from places that hurt you, including social media. Don’t bother giving rude or ignorant people a moment of your time

I realistically starts at the top. Our literal president is a convicted rapist. The protections laws are laxed, most victims get harassed, they’ve made it clear your body is apparently not your choice and everything needs to align with religious beliefs, which are also notoriously not women friendly, and it becomes an example for young men growing up copying what their parents are doing or saying. It seems like a reasonable thing to treat others how you want to be treated, but apparently not?

You don’t think a minority male feels similar?

A lot of my closest friends are girls, I promise you that not all men are evil to girls and want to see them fail. I think those guys just have a really big ego and hate the idea of someone being better than them while also being sexist. I swear there are some good blokes out there

yeah i know, i have a wonderful bf who is incredibly supportive, even when i feel this way. it’s just that it truly is so many men that when i get groceries or go to classes, usually i have a bad experience with one and that’s enough for it to get to me.

My point is the feeling itself is not a unique feeling only women face. The reason behind it is but even the behavior isn’t unique this is just describing how many people who are discriminated feel

Can you not do the “what about” thing rn. This is ask women. This is a post from a woman to women about struggles women face. Go somewhere else I beg.

I actually answered the OPs question if you read close enough. “Does anyone else feel this way?” The answer is yes anyone else who is the subject of societal discrimination

sure there is some shared feeling of oppression amongst oppressed groups but every kind of oppression is different with different histories. it isn’t all the same. it appears in different ways in different areas of life, so i was expressing my *unique* feeling as an individual woman. also i’m allowed to look for community and comfort when i feel that way.

So you don’t think other oppressed people feel sad and hopeless? I already acknowledged that the circumstances have unique nuances, that could even be said about comparing one woman to another using your own example

Aaand now you’re just being rude to the OP. Yes, as she said, there is some crossover in oppression, but the oppression every minority faces is different. In this SPECIFIC case, a WOMAN came to ask WOMEN to ask if any WOMEN feel the same. Yes other minorities can also feel sad and hopeless, however not in the same way as women feel sad and hopeless, which is what OP was asking about in the first place. Go. Somewhere. Else.

The op never explicitly mentions those things. They are speaking about their feeling as a result of those things. Idk what point you think you are proving rn.

That your “what about”ism on something clearly meant for women is annoying and proving the point. We get it, you feel left out and want to be included. Go somewhere else.
