I can tell when my writing strikes a chord because of two things:
- Women from various corners of the globe reach out to share how my words resonate with them and encourage them to express their own truths.
- Men emerge from the depths of the internet to respond with aggression, insults, and condescension.
This duality tells me that my writing is impactful; my words empower women while unsettling men.
My words unsettle men because they recognize that with women’s empowerment comes our liberation — a step towards freedom from male violence and an end to the oppressive structures that men have historically created to keep us marginalized.
My voice grows stronger and more recognizable each day, and with it comes an expanding community of women who refuse to remain silent in the face of racism and misogyny. Men understand that our unity can dismantle the patriarchy. The internet serves as a sanctuary for feminists of all backgrounds to unite, share our narratives, and uplift one another. It’s a space where men cannot resort to physical or sexual violence to silence us, no matter how hard they try.
My words intimidate men because I exemplify the resilience of feminism and feminine-identifying individuals. Many men lack the courage to confront their vulnerabilities. Rather than create something meaningful, they choose to undermine women’s achievements and voices.
Men are aware that their power is rooted in our sexual, economic, and cultural subjugation. The moment women understand that we can fulfill our desires independently, their control over us diminishes, and they risk becoming obsolete.
My words disturb men because they struggle with rejection. As a sexual being, I declare that they cannot possess me, and this confounds them.
Men, I see your fear manifest as anger and defensiveness. When you shout “not all men,” you’re desperately trying to assert your presence. However, your behavior towards women often perpetuates a self-fulfilling prophecy; the more hostile you are, the more invisible you become.
You acknowledge that abuse is wrong yet choose silence, which only highlights your complicity and irrelevance.
Prove to us that it is “not all men” by treating women with the empathy and respect we deserve. Show us that the trolls and aggressors do not represent all men.
There’s no reason to fear making a positive change, speaking out, and standing for what is right. Remember, when women achieve liberation, men will benefit too.
