Righteous compassion. I am here for it. I prefer listening to Black women because they never sugarcoat the truth.

"Speaking up marked a woman as troublesome. Local papers stayed quiet unless the case ended in a killing." How many dead women had restraining orders against their spouse or ex-boyfriend.

Your writing style is perfect.

Thank you for this! In light of this present regime's eager desire to debase women and turn them into property (again), it's nice to find men who are willing to stand up and loudly vocalize their support of them. The old ... Stand by your man ... attitude, even if he's beaten you so hard that you can't stand up is one thats been used by religions and a certain segment of society for decades. It's gotten old and it's bullshit! They've already taken away women's bodies, now they want our vote. We need strong voices like yours to join the chorus of women who are trying to make their voices heard.

I am with you in this my friend yet unmet.

In the 90's when "reality TV" became a thing, I did not partake. Once I saw "Big Brother" one single, solitary time, I could see what it was and would be. I do not accept this algorthim of cruelty.

For most of my formative years, I was bullied at home, in the streets, in church and in school by students and teachers and other "authority figures" alike. I am not now and will not ever be a bully.

Nor do I suffer bullying or bullies. I want more women and "marginalized persons'" voices in the space of whaterver room I'm in. I would like to provide a bulwark for them that needs it. That should be the norm rather than the exception.

Thank you for this!

Just thank you. I know very little about most of what you describe, since I don’t live in that world. But really good writing calling for a return to (or continuation of) decency and respect is always appreciated💙👹

Thank you for taking time out to read my post Rachel. It’s an honor.

There are many just like you who grew up with legacy media who were unaware of the cultural counter movement brewing within internet discussion rooms under the guise of red pill dating advice. I grew up in both legacy media and the internet so not only did I perceive both but I saw the disconnect in the messages put out by legacy media and messages put out by the “manosphere” which is defined as network of online communities, websites, blogs, and forums united by a focus on men's issues, masculinity, and an overarching opposition to feminism. These people helped to turn the tide in favor of Trump both times.

I'm with you Rachel. This is why I subscribe to Xplisset. It's time for me to wake-up and look beyond my white privilege and listen and learn.

In the early days ('60s and earlier) women could not get a loan or credit card unless an adult male family member signed for them. This means they could not buy a house or car without someones' permission.
