All those things that women are afraid of are the very things that will set women free. Our only downfall was that we ever believed them.

So, stand up and take your place. Walk into that boardroom, take the lead, have that child on your own, leave that male, drop out of the race to catch a husband, create the life you want for yourself. Always speak up, especially when males disapprove of your opinion. They are more afraid of you than you are of them.

Your attention and your energy empower the patriarchy and all males in your life. Withdraw your attention, drop out of their race, refocus your energy into yourself. Give to yourself, speak highly of yourself, don’t worry about who is pissed off.

The patriarchy as well as toxic males, project their own fears onto women. There is nothing more powerful that realizing that all those things you have been afraid of, are really their own fears. Isn’t it obvious that insecure males live in fear that women will compete with them? Isn’t it obvious that they live in fear that women won’t need them? Isn’t it obvious that they fear seeing us in the lead? That’s why they shame us into thinking we are not soft nor feminine enough for them.

You didn’t come into this world to be second to a man. You are here to take your place, no matter who has a problem with it. So speak up, state confidently what men are afraid to hear, never fear their shame or disapproval.

Let them call you a bitch, a witch, the C word, a feminist, or whatever they are terrified of. Your power is in being unaffected by their word. Allow them to display their own insecurities for all to see. What they are really displaying is their own irrationality, their own impotence, their own fear. Make sure you never accept what they project onto you.

It is time that women stop believing in that small, second-class role that manhood has projected onto them. The only way we can create space for ourselves is if we stop responding to societal pressure, and stop arguing for our own self worth. That conversation does not serve us, it is always twisted and used against us.

Archaic institutions like the patriarchy, organized religions and other cults of manhood are dying. They are fighting for their last breath because women are dropping out as their subscribers. Without our subscription they have nothing to sell to infantile males. They cannot fan the flames of masculinity nor feed its ravenous ego without women who are willing to submit. This is what all the anger and rage is about. Women have nothing to do here.

As threatened as the patriarchy feels, what they don’t understand is that we never tried to compete with them. We did what we had to in order to survive when the males in our lives failed to provide, failed to feed their own children, failed to respect, failed to protect and honor their wives, their mothers, their daughters. They taught us how to take care of our own needs.

When they refused to pay child support men taught us how to provide for our own children. When they refused us healthcare, they taught us how to take care of ourselves. When they walked all over our rights to bodily autonomy, they taught us to protect ourselves. When they barred us from universities, they taught us how to push our way in. When they blocked us from the workplace, they taught us how to earn our own paycheck. Today, 42% of all business owners are women. And now the patriarchy would like it if we felt guilty and ashamed for being our own partners, husbands, and providers. The patriarchy drove a nail into its own coffin when it took away Choice. It is the conceit of manhood that believed there could be no repercussions for its own stupidity.

The world is full of real men. In fact, there is no shortage of them. And those men have nothing to fear. Evolved men will always be wanted, they will always be needed, they will always be equal partners to women they respect. In fact, natural selection ensures that those men are always taken. Women aren’t vying over the egotistical, hyper-masculine, hyper-sexual, narcissistic, uneducated, cavemen. We are partnering with equals who exhibit empathy, sensitivity, intelligence, and strong parenting skills. We are not shunning manhood, we are selecting those males who possess traits that ensure our well-being and the well-being of our children.

If women do absolutely nothing, the patriarchy will die of its own conceit, because there is no need for that trait in humanity. There is no need for dominance, in fact that trait destroys balance that society desperately needs. There is no need for aggression, violence, suppression, control, manipulation. There is no need for the male ego which dominated religion, culture and society for the last 2000 years.

Manhood isn’t dying, but the male ego is. What feeds on female attention, female validation, female submission? The ego. Take away your attention, decenter men as the main focus of your lives, and the ego will rage against itself. Women are doing nothing to compete with males, we are simply focusing onto ourselves.
