Update from "Lonely" Post
Hello all,
I am taking a long internet break as was recommended by people here after this post https://ovarit.com/o/GenderCritical/562091/this-shit-can-be-lonely
But I wanted to give some hopeful updates. I told the friends I was sorry if I was over the top and they had a total opposite response. One thanked me for bringing this stuff to her attention and said it is vitally important to have passionate women supporting her daughter before she's old enough to speak up for herself, and one said she was just feeling jealous of my passion as she's lately just been feeling burned out/bored/lacking passion. Other ladies there had similar things to say which surprised me a lot, but made me really happy.
We are all going on a beach trip in a couple weeks and things are good.
That said, I need a break from this stuff big time. So I'm going to do that for a bit.
You ladies are my rock! I appreciate you all more than you know, and for those who's friends have ditched you for being passionate about women's rights, I am so so sorry. It's not fair and it is wrong. One day they will be able to see it. The suffragettes went through the same, unfortunately.
Love,

Gen Z girls are between the ages of 9 and 24. I'm not even 24. I have never once grown up with feminism imparted on me. From birth I was heavily instructed to be feminine, despite being naturally non-conforming. I know not a single other young woman within my generation who has been exposed to actual feminism during their youth. I don't know any gen Z woman who has an opinion like that ("old ugly cheugy millennials") without it being enforced patriarchal from birth, either. I'm sorry you have had a hard time from younger women, despite us not really holding any institutional power unless it is enforced by patriarchal men. Spare a thought for us young women and girls who experience the same levels of sexual assault, abuse and rape as previous generations, but without the easier access to empowering forms of radical feminism, though.
Well mostly what I do is defend young women when they speak out against sex work. I don't start the conversation. The dangers of the sex trade don't effect me so even if there wasn't a generational rift it still wouldn't be my place to talk about it
Well thank you for bringing attention to these problems. It's a nightmare of our times and I'm grateful for anyone who highlights the inequalities and suffering these women experience.
