its a man's man's man's world

A Story by Melanie Villani
"

when you write a thing about sexism and inherent /power structures/ and the powerful people from a different structure censor it

"

think back 100 years. its 1915 and im a woman owned by a man. i am a man’s property. i follow a man’s orders, i follow a man’s rules, i follow a man’s power. and now? in 1915 i am not a true citizen. in 2015 what am i?


i can vote (i can vote for a rich white man so he can decide what happens to me). a woman is running for president (an imperialist hidden-republican white legacy is running for president). i can wear shorts in public (i can wear shorts in public but if they’re too short im sl u tty and if they’re too long im stuck up and no matter what if i wear shorts ill be leered at). 

i can play sports (but its an insult to men if i win) i can be a renowned chef (but its all jokes because a woman belongs in the kitchen) i can change the world (but can i???)

why are you telling me sexism is gone???
