I was quick to challenge why we use women like Sabrina Carpenter, Beyonce, Dua Lipa, Charli XCX, Chappell Roan, and Taylor Swift who do not reflect what we truly stand for— the ability to make definite change:( not through men in the Congress halls passing bills or women sitting admist men convincing them of their freedom against such law or act… but power; not being seen as the primary consumer despite never being the one assumed to be sitting on those chairs making those products and owning those companies) were half your playlist and Kpop women being the other.
As much as these women come to us as the front face while the men with power sit at the back and enjoy the show, I can;t deny their power. These women seem so be the first bond in bridging the gap between the rift caused the denial of men never being our ally (with no exception) among fellow women. They are the reasons millions of women and girls go to a venue together and bond willingly without a single thought of men. For that, it is great. But we cannot sit back and be complacent in this and take it as all we get.
There is more power in thousands of women going to a world meeting and being the assumed majority of the chair holders and veto makers.
I just had this breakdown this summer. A girl in my circle is a feminist and for the girls but believes it is only right to make an exception for the guy she dates despite his history of being a playboy jerk and dating a child (17 and 12). Another of this incidence was a previous best friend whose male friend was a class topper and was privately known to make dark jokes (some pertaining to rape), with another of a male friend that readily hoped to defend a male senior that was said to be touching girls' head randomly despite constant insistent refusal (and her experiencing his harrasment and taking serious measures against it).
I have been muddled in my actions towards my younger brother, although he is not a man, he is a teen boy fanatically idolizing the men he looks up to while scaringly copying their behaviors and ways they lie. My father, while he might not be the best, he certainly can be the worst.
I do not love men; I recognize the danger in all including those that are my blood. I can stand my ground, though I am only so old and my mom has not thought of me as wise enough to be correct, I do not have to fake for the sake of society to appease the men. That is all useless pitying to them men and is all in vain unless they see me as of value and worth.
Reading this has been another layer of settled reasons why I am more in sync with my ways; that my actions is not a belief or an ideology. It is merely the truth and reality. And my mother, and my sister, and all women who live muddled in their ways with men can still be present in my community... even if they never reach the inner circle because that is still a bond. And I have lived a live where bonds between women are strong and true even when hatred is between.
You do not preach hate because nowhere in this path do you seek revenge. But I will still cheer on the women that chant ‘I hate men’ when the ‘impossible’ happens in hope some years later they are closer to realizing it does not help any of us.
Thank you for the thoughtful (introspective) read.
