Today, I experienced a reminder that no matter how gently a woman might respond with pushback against some men's openly negative remarks, you'll still be considered to be a bitch.
Many men have no idea how much anger women swallow and ignore because the reflexive response to our anger, any anger, is some variant of this.
You're damned if you say something and damned if you don't.
So, fuck it I guess. Burn a bridge or two when the mood strikes. They're going to call you a bitch regardless. 🤷♀️
