“There is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women."

― Madeleine Albright

I dislike and resent when women press fellow over-burdened, lower-compensated, oppressed, women who share the same vulnerability to male violence to give up rights, opportunities, and safety.

While they leave most of the males in place & in peace.

Woman: "I'm a woman & this erasure or surrender of women's rights, independence & autonomy doesn't bother me."
Same woman: Would never ask a male to do the same because:

1. As a woman we fear the potential male violence & 2. Know good & well they won't anyway.

I'm just wondering why the road to "unity" "inclusion" "empathy" & ...."liberation" isn't paved by calling all males "prostate havers", "penis owners", & "people with scrotums" I'm just baffled why the ONLY way to get there seems to be calling women ("womb havers", "birthing bodies" "vagina owners" etc.........???

Count the number of straight males, corporations, & organizations openly supporting & celebrating language calling males

"prostate havers", "penis owners", "people with scrotums" Is that "unity" & "liberation"?

Or only when women & girls dehumanize ourselves?

I raise up my voice—not so that I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard. … We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back.
