Tired of “wow,” “shut up,” and “lol” comprising 99% of men’s responses whenever I quote tweet another man telling me I’m worthless piece of shit when 99% of men call themselves good guys.

Tired of seeing men catcall on the street while other men look away because they’re not like that - they’re the good guys.
Tired of men “just asking questions” about whether rape stats are legit, or “just pointing out” that women are just as bad, or waxing poetic about a mangled version of due process and but don’t look at me, I’m one of the good guys.
Tired of being told I must just know the wrong men. Tired of being told that it’s me and my hate that’s the problem. Tired of being asked to be an educator and an empathizer and a patient advisor to men who are here because having a daughter made them care.
Tired of the idea that speaking openly about misogyny means you brought this on yourself. Tired of being called a fat ugly bitch. Tired of being told to suck a cock or take a dick. Tired of the men who make dozens of accounts just to tell me that no one cares what I think.
Tired of knowing that my options are to be silent or be fair game. Tired of knowing I’ll be mocked for saying so. Tired of accepting that showing vulnerability is an emotional suicide mission. Tired of hardening myself for protection and being hated for being cold.
Tired of being talked over and shouted down for speaking up. Tired of being disbelieved as the default. Tired of being tired. Tired of men. The “good ones” too.
