Yeah, that's it. You've found me out. I'm just ornery because on occasion, it actually does rain in Phoenix and we experience nighttime like everyone else.
It's got nothing in the woels to do with your assumptions just being wrong or missing key elements of understanding which then leads you to be dismissive in a sexist way.
Like, how you morphed me exploring sex segregation as a hypothetical into me wanting to live in a world with no men.
The two are not the same.
It's not like there haven't been set segregated societies before, either on whole or in part, and they haven't all been like Afghanistan. Ancient Sparta comes to mind, as does the "Amazons".
All living things have a right to defend themselves. Wouldn't you agree?
If, broad strokes, men are not going to this plague of violence against us at your hands, the hands of men, when we've come to you for redress other than with bad faith sexist dismissal that centers male feelings and ego over our lives and our safety....then 'divorce" is not only a valid option, it's the next rational step.
The only other option is to accept living with the sword hanging over our shoulders of being acceptable collateral damage to male rage and violence in ALL its forms and any time.
Find me the woman who wants to do that. Who finds those terms amenable and desirable. Go ahead. I eagerly await your list.
It's not like separate lives from men is a new concept. Radical feminists have been talking about it in earnest since the 70s at least and there have always been women who choose to live separately.
Today, 4B movements and decenter men movements are taking the idea of living separately mainstream. Thrurr also tangible ways to explore ways of doing so.
Make no mistake, that is EXACTLY what those movements are.
So it's hardly kooky or fringe. It's going mainstream, Bubba. At long last.
That will continue to happen, regardless of the state of my "fur having been rubbed the wrong way". Hmm. Lovely. Interesting choice of words. Wonder what you meant by that?
Newsflash. Nobody decides to decenter ALL men because sex with ONE was a bad experience.
