When women walk into men, we say sorry even if he bumped into us. It's because we think that men are entitled to do what they want, and when we get hurt, we are at fault. It's a twisted way of thinking and further contributes to our oppression. I know it won't take two seconds to undo the mindset of patriarchy but we can at least try. Like:
a) We stop apologizing to men.
b) We stop greeting them or saying goodbye. That just shows you care about their existence. Which we do not.
c) We neglect their needs and wants. By doing so we rid ourselves of unwanted stress and obligations.
d) Men are always at fault. Even you clearly hit them or bumped them, why didn't they move? It's their own fault. By thinking and acting this way, we show our superiority and entitlement.
e) Men are never just nice. Don't be friends with them. This will make sure you don't confuse him objectifying you with being friendly.
By doing these few things, your patriarchal mindset will begin to demolished and you will truly hate men. Happy Misandry Holidays.
