I am angry at men for so many reasons. Women being assaulted every three minutes or so Forcing us to bear all the weight of support While not being granted any responsibility At my dad for dying and leaving At my step dad for having an affair At my brother for hitting me so **** much while growing up At my other brother for always staying away when he was unsure if we loved him. At every man who hurt, threatened, hit my sister For shredding our worth and self esteem to cover up the immense insecurities men feel due to societal expectations and pressures put forth by generations of men who came before them A toxic patriarchy they themselves will continue For silencing me in every ******* conversation. MOTHER Earth, NOT father. ****. YOU.
This is in no way meant to put down men as a whole, meerily an expression of the anger I feel toward the men in my life who have caused harm. I love many men in my life and in this world, and appreciate the unique beauty they all contain.
