Why does separation have to be about enmity?

These women are saying that they want that chance at happiness and fulfillment and thry have come to believe that decentering men, or even completely removing men from their lives is their best chance to get there.

Now, maybe they're right and maybe they're wrong. Maybe they want solitude for a while, to heal, refresh, and be alone with themselves to ground themselves on something other than men, to get to know who they are without the everpresent panopticon of male scrutiny leering at them. Maybe they're so disgusted by all the violent male rhetoric online and harassment in the streets that they just cant stand the sight of men right now, especially after the election and the trolling coming from menext. Maybe they just want some peace and quiet to not be afraid anymore.

What is clear, is that thr onlynreason you men care, is because decisions are being made to live without you.

If you were really concerned about happiness and fulfillment of men AND women, there would be room in those whos best lives are solo or very cloistered lives, without making it about your feelings of rejection or loss of access to try to shoot your shot.

But you're not. You only care about wimens happiness so long as it includes your presence regardless of whether or not that actually makes women happy and fulfilled or they're just tolerating you because you won't leave them alone.

Universal you.
