I think so too! Haha

I try talking to my (female) friend about women issues but...it feels like when we discuss about conversation, it falls flat?

Like, we can talk about it to a certain extent because she said she was sexually harrassed at her old job and said "Fuck white men"(she's a white woman...Not sure), but when I try to dig deeper it kinda doesn't go anywhere. For example, talking deeper about gender roles. I think I asked her thoughts about toxic feminity(ex. Woman HAVE to wear heels & makeup at work, look & axt a certain way,etc) or her thoughts on gender roles and she basically shrugged. She same american friend that is "woke" progressive. She use words like "trick ass hoe"(lol what?) and "b1tch" a LOT. I think we(as women) can use the word "b1tch" and NOT men, but she uses it...excessively? Like "Hey bitch, what's up?" Or "Bitch no way!"...idk maybe i overreact over small thing. Lol. In my motherland country, you say word equivalent, and it's EXTREMELY offensive. Most derogatory words here are "female specific" and terrible. Lol. Maybe not offensive in english speaking country.

This is not quite on the topic, but for other reasons I was trying to learn about OnlyFans and came across one woke piece which worried about those content creators (naked pic makers) who were not white or who were LBGTetc. But not one word about women vs. men in that context, because we are erasing biological sex as one of the axes of oppression. Indeed, several of the articles I read chose to discuss a man who created naked pic content for the site, even though I am willing to bet all my money on the vast majority of the content creators being biological women.

So there is something going on in the air which attempts to erase our ability to even see sexism.
