I don't speak about my views in public obviously. I've learnt my lesson. The few times I said something very mild (compared to what I actually think) I got so much pushback. For instance, when I say that the vast majority of criminals are men (which is a basic fact) men flip out but so do women. I recently said to a female coworker that women shouldn't willingly put themselves in danger: for instance if they're hitchhiking (which isn't safe to begin with) at the very least they shouldn't get in a car driven by a man. This coworker accused me of victim-blaming bla-bla-bla. I'm so tired. Basic common sense is victim-blaming nowadays. So many women are fucking naive it's insane.

If I just keep my thoughts to myself, it's ok honestly. I don't engage in activism. I have a few friends. I'm looking for a girlfriend/wife and then I will be set. I will occasionally help an individual woman if I see she's in distress but other than that, I see no point in fighting for women, demonstrating, etc. It frees a lot of time and a lot of space in my head. I'm realistic about things which I think is good. I enjoy nature, books, music and the occasional movie. I focus on hobbies. I'm good. I've always been a pessimist/realist so that's a natural state for me. But being a pessimist doesn't mean I live my life in misery. Not at all.
