This article is so good and packs so many killer lines that are so insightful that I literally could not decide on which to copy and paste here so just go read the whole thing.

"If I deny his attempts at closeness by leaving or setting a boundary, he could feel frustrated, rejected, or ashamed. If he doesn’t know how to recognize or manage those feelings, he’s likely to experience them as anger." so many descriptions in here are 100% familiar

if I had to pick a line, it'd be "Sometimes, it’s not that I’m afraid of men; I’m just really, really tired." but even that takes context to really understand the weight of it. gah!

I’ve decided to refer to the rules made by and for the privilege of men “Boys Treehouse Rules”. They make more sense in that light.

This is beautifully written and correct. Consider how salary dives in female dominated fields. Women like it or created it? It’s not worth much. The word emasculate (instead of demean) derives from patriarchy.

Remember in elementary school when the classroom was pure bedlam, and the teacher would flick the lights until our little nervous systems reset and we could hear the voice of reason? This article feels like that.

I love this: Sexism as an ideology is based on the belief that this division of traits is immutable and biologically mandated; therefore, it’s only “natural” that men inhabit positions of power while women serve caregiving roles. This is coupled with the belief that masculine traits are superior

I'm not a woman but as an autistic person with severe social anxiety, I can say that a bear has never: 1. Beaten me up for being gay. 2. Pulled a gun on my dog. 3. Passed laws making me less safe. So as long as a bear is "over there" and not bothering me, I'd prefer a bear.

Women experience this question as "Aren't you afraid of men?", while men experience it as "Do you realize how dangerous a bear would be up close?" And then each thinks the other side is being ridiculous for answering a question that wasn't asked. Personally, I do think it's very funny that this
