36) An Open Letter To Men

I am a voice in this world.
I exist and I am a woman.

Most of history does not encourage nor consider the voice of any woman. Men are the writers of most of history.

Woman are only written into the historical record when she raises her head up high enough that men cannot ignore her and only if it serves the status quo, AKA the interests of men.

I am a woman who cares about the children of this world, because they will inherit the bullshit, the inhumanity that I endure, the ultimate sacrifice of a world that doesn’t care about its own survival.

I am angry that this world is run by certain men; certain men that make weapons against other men.

I am angry that certain men are willing to create weapons that will destroy our very existence because they have to.

I am angry that some women think their only place is to birth more children, that it is all we are born to do.

I am angry that most women are not part of the discussion of where we should be as human beings.

I am angry that many women are forced to be the caregivers, and clean up after the wars of men.

I am angry that so many women are not allowed any space on this planet to exist, to nurture our minds beyond our ability to have babies.

I am angry that so many women are seen as inferior to men, because we are socialized from birth that we should be subservient.

I am angry that my mother never taught me the reality of what I would face, that the world is hostile and indifferent to my needs as a woman.

I am angry that this world only caters to the war-like features of certain men and that all the things a woman can be will ultimately be obliterated by men.

I exist and I am a woman.
Women are relevant on all levels in this world.
