Im sure. So hard to hear men have it so uniquely rough.

No one is saying women don’t have it rough. The difference is one gender is being pushed out of society, the other is being pushed under it. Men are basically encouraged to give up and go away, maybe commit suicide or go fight in a war. Women are encouraged to find a “man” and become some tradwife who has no agency. Neither is a good thing, but don’t pretend they aren’t different.

Non heteronormative women are absolutely encouraged to die.
5150 holds are like a rite of passage.

I hadn’t considered that. I can’t say I know much of the struggles of lesbians.
