I saw someone write somewhere and wish I had saved it something to the effect that because women can do everything men can (and backwards in high heels, as we know!) they decided to take everything else away from us and leave us only that - the ability to make a baby. It makes so much sense if so.
Amen! Every damn day I see self-proclaimed "high value men" decreeing "ladies, men don't like it when you ____" and advising other men of which types of women to avoid (women over 25, women who have careers, women who have solid friendships, women who have a "high body count" and are therefore "used up"), or approaching human relationships with a clinical, mathematical perspective, trying to quantify and reduce us to numbers (numbers they pull straight out of their ass, like "80% of women are unhappy because they're single"). I saw some asshole last week post an itemized ledger of the cost of everything he wore to a date (including a $7k watch), and complained that his date was wearing something cheap. It is so clear how many of these men truly believe all they need to bring to the table is money, and that entitles them to on-demand sex, domestic labor, and free therapy from a woman who must also have her shit together and work full-time (to afford nice clothes apparently) while they reciprocate nothing. They seem to believe that being deemed worthy of their time and attention is enough for us to want to be subjugated by someone like that.
And then they blame US for their "loneliness epidemic" 🙄
Yes, these guys are hilarious! I have a lot of fun watching them get roasted on Threads. I saw one today with a long checklist of his requirements which started at 'virgin' and included a weight of '45kg exactly'. So he wants a child or a baby hippo. Have fun dying alone without issue, fellas!
I'm not sure of the origin of this phrase, but I keep seeing reposts of "ask a man to describe the ideal woman and watch him describe a slave or a child"
And considering how many of them describe the ideal woman as an 18 year old, that tracks
And yeah, they keep threatening us with dying alone. We'll be fine with our girlfriends, I think those men are the ones who have something to fear, if they insist on being the type of men that other people don't want to be around 🤷♀️
Brilliant!

All power to the 4Bs!
Wow. On fire! Thank you - it helps me to have all this laid out like that.
Cheers, Jane, I had a lot of fun writing it. Passionate fury is fabulous fuel.
A car seems pretty cool until you compare it to an actual human being. I know what I’d rather create, and deep in their hearts I think most men do too: https://open.substack.com/pub/counselofperfection/p/womb-envy?r=7wxlo&utm_medium=ios
I mean I LOVE a good car, bit of a car enthusiast, but a HUMAN? Tops.

Hell yeah! I swear these bonehead bros are such boner killers. The middle ages are calling and they’d like their patriarchal feudalism back.
Truly, Summer! I hope they enjoy *just never getting laid again*.
Hell yeah. We are fucking ace, full stop. Thank you for this powerful reminder of your own brilliance and of our collective brilliance xxx
Childlessness should be taxed? Now about taxing right wing mysogynistic bigoted remarks? The worse the remark, the higher the tax?
Also: Lysistrata by Aristophanes. The women's sex strike soon got the men to see sense.
Hallelujah to this Ross 👌🏻
Hell yeah. I'd like to see justice served for the evil mfkrs who have made it hell for most women, and for a lot of good men too
Hell yeah!
Yes, yes, YES!!!!!!!
I'll have what she's having.
Yes to all of this.
Oh Ros...this is BRILLIANT! Every.Single.Word.
There is nothing as frightening as an angry old woman. (me, the year of the crone) They are scared of us and they should be!
We older women are the scariest of all. They can't hobble us by getting us pregnant and menopause has stripped us of every remaining fuck.
Ros, this is beyond brilliant and I also loved every word of this!
Thank you, Nicky! And hey, bloody hell, thank you for becoming a paid subscriber!
I love every word of this.
Thanks, Michelle!
Brilliant.
