    Well, that’s probably only true for some people and only for a certain period after coming out to yourself. Sure, it was euphoric feeling seen in my gender identity when I faced misogyny for the first few times. But once I felt more at home in my gender identity, it wasn’t pleasant anymore.

    I actually know plenty of cis straight women who are repeatedly seeking out men that treat them awfully because they think they don’t deserve anything else. I would so far as to say that straight culture is based on misogyny.

      I’ve sorta experienced it long before I had any sort of egg cracking and it wasn’t even about the other person seeing me as a woman (so not misogyny) - I just felt that having such a experience made me better be able to relate to women and somehow for some reason that sorta compensated.

      Agreed that it probably falls off as you either become more self-confident or get more regular external affirmations that aren’t awful.

      Reminds me of something I read where someone taught someone something, transitioned, and later had that same person mansplain it back to them.

    Even long before my transition, I’ve been a feminist and but wholly believe in a matriarchal society. So, nope! Not in a million years. Fuck off with this male-dominated ego bullshit.

    … Edited for clarity!

        Why don’t you go look that definition up, then correlate it with today’s society and WHY feminism is needed more than ever.

          Genuine question; how do you reconcile matriarchy with gender equality? Wouldn’t that just take the problem we have now (patriarchy) and flip it instead of actually freeing us from gendered hierarchies?

            I don’t reconcile it. I misspoke (edited).

            I’d rather just live under a more matriarchal society. I believe such a society would eventually balance out to equality, but as it stands now, here in the US in 2026, we’re cooked.
