How to deal with the misogynism, especially for those of you who are afraid of making voiced

Many people question the misogynistic statements made by both men and women. However, many also do not want to speak out, for example through social media accounts. They are afraid of being bullied and disliked by the people around them.

Indeed, that is a consequence when we have opinions that are different from public opinion, moreover, these public opinions tend to be misogynistic or hate women. So, how long do you want to be afraid of being disliked by most people, especially those people who are misogynistic and sexist?

Look, will our lives end if they are not liked by them? Has our life become worthless? Are we going to have no friends anymore, so that life will feel lonely?

So far, many women are afraid to speak out about their rights, because they still position themselves as objects seeking recognition from others, especially if their environment is still very patriarchal.

In his mind, he still thumped himself against the walls that limited his expression. These walls are only constructs created to control women so that women can be deceived and exploited for the interests of patriarchy and capitalism.

We have certainly heard that women are considered selfish if they do not marry, have any children, or choose to work outside the home. Meanwhile, men can do anything to actualize themselves without being called selfish.

The productivity of men is also mostly supported by women who do reproductive work at home, be it women as mothers, wives, children, domestic workers, or laundry workers.

So, it is not surprising that women who actualize themselves without the recognition of others or even criticize misogynist public opinion will be labeled selfish and unwelcome. Because all this time women have been educated to please and seek recognition from others.

To be able to move forward, women don't need to worry about the voices of those who don't like them. Women do not need other people's recognition to be likable. Women only need to like themselves. Therefore, self-reliance both mentally and financially is very important.

Being disliked or even bullied for speaking out loudly about the struggle for rights is a consequence that must be faced, not avoided. Because people who feel disturbed will use all means to bring down women. Not infrequently, some women are attacked not only by their thoughts but also by their bodies.

This misogynistic response shows how destructive the social construct they have created for women is. If we are still afraid, that means we are justifying a misogynistic view. We also provide weapons to them to continue to terrorize women with violence.

They take advantage of this fear so that they can continue to be in power so that they can increasingly control women down to the realm of their minds.

Of course, if we uphold the values ​​of equality, there is no need to hesitate to dare to speak up. Then, form a support system group so that the movement becomes even more massive.

After all, the change wouldn't happen if you just kept quiet, right? Moreover, taking cover behind the fear of misogynists. Because more and more seek recognition from other people so that they like you, as long as that also you will not feel comfortable with yourself. Feeling restless because of the patriarchy haunted.

So ladies, stop asking permission from the patriarchy. If you believe in equality, do what you like and believe to be the truth. So that our voices louder and louder and the legs of the patriarchy tremble.
