Derailing women's lived experiences?

 derailing a woman's lived experiences? Whenever a man talks about his lived experience, he's somehow derailing or silencing or one-uping women? Whether they are in the same room or not, they both have their trauma that they want people to know. He can have his own platform to talk about his lived experience and still be told that he is "derailing women's lived experience" and that "men suffer less than women." if anything, those who are doing the silencing are the ones silencing men, not women. No one tells her she is derailing the men's lived experience, no one is telling her that her pain is statistically lower than his, and no one is trying to silence her. Now imagine how this sounds.


A woman goes to an urgent care clinic because she is having chest problems. She got checked in and is being seen by a doctor. A man comes in and says he has chest problems. Is he derailing her pain? Was he silencing her? Was he making the doctor abandon her to attend to him? No! 


This is the same thing; when he talks about his, he is not silencing her or making her voice not heard. The only one being silenced was the man. The only one derailing the lived experience was the man's experience. The only ones getting upset are those who do not want to hear men speak. they don't want to acknowledge that men can be victims and that women can also be perpetrators too. That the world isn't all black and white. 


Why is that? Because they don't want to acknowledge that men are not evil, they are human too. Men too can be victims of rape and abuse. It's not a matter of who has it worse., that itself is one-upmanship. No one is talking about who has it worse.


No one is trying to silence her or make her lived experience unimportant. Like with the urgent care scenario, both matter just the same and it's important to hear both and support both. Why is this so hard? 


We should be hearing and supporting the victims, whether they are male or female. It shouldn't have to be about blaming either gender. all we're doing is blocking out male victims and turning a blind eye to female perpetrators in favor of just women because of the dogmatic idea; Men are evil, women fragile sangels.

Circumcision is evil.

  Imagine if you will a small baby boy just born today. He is perfectly healthy and there’s no issues at all. A doctor or a nurse would take the baby away and have him completely naked. He’s then strapped into a circumstraints. His arms and legs tied down. His penis exposed to the world. The doctor gets the baby’s penis hard and then pries the foreskin apart, tearing it from the glans it was sealed to. The baby screaming bloody murder. Then the doctor inserts a metal tube into his foreskin and pressing it against the glans, tying the base end of the foreskin and then crushing the foreskin and cutting it off. The baby who is still screaming and screaming then passes out in shock. Then the doctor or the nurse brings back the baby to the parents, “your baby slept through the whole thing.” Clearly lying. Then with the foreskin (some claim to just throw it away) but some doctors sell it for profit. 100 baby boys die each year from circumcision. Most of Europe and Asia do not c...

toxic masculinity.

 What is toxic masculinity? Truth be told? Nothing. It's just a made-up word to dehumanize boys and men and blame them for everything. Why do we need to blame men for every single thing that is wrong in the world? They, the feminists, love to believe that men have power and that all men are responsible for everything. Which is a huge steaming pile of bullshit.  what purpose does it serve to blame men for everything? What do we hope to achieve from this? If we're going to want to fix actual problems going on, then we need to look to what is actually causing them and not blame it on men. Men are not the problem.  This is also something I found from a site on "examples of toxic masculinity." https://www.aurorand.org.uk/news/top-10-toxic-masculinity-behaviours "Top 10 Toxic Masculinity behaviors Being stoic Men are constantly given the message that they must be self-reliant, independent, physically tough etc. Men are told that to be this way will make them successful...

my history part 1

  My history part 1 1997 - 1999   (I’m just going to tell bits and pieces of my history, I don’t remember too many details or an exact timeline, so it’s kind of scattered.)     (I’m going to talk about my teacher in high school. I want to make myself perfectly clear here, this is not a #metoo, I’m not trying to say she did anything because I don’t remember and I am not sure she did anything wrong. I’m not even trying to say I’m a victim either, because that’s disrespectful and it’s not what I’m trying to do here.)   I don’t think I want to say her name, only that she was a blonde woman teaching at my high school when I started. I was bullied every day for many of my school years. I hated it there. She was the only teacher that was kind to me. She seemed to understand I was upset and having trouble. I also had a school counselor who understood and tried to be helpful.   The thing is, I don’t remember any other teacher trying to take me and ...
