This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Patriarchy seeps into women too

Tons of southern women would literally lose their entire identity if their patriarchy disappeared tomorrow

Luckily they can build a better one

I don't think it's still called a patriarchy if they build it

Handmaids are totally feminist

Yeah patriarchy is a system and it poisons us all. Never stop being open to being vulnerable. It's just unfortunate that some view it as weakness.

I wouldn't call it that. In the end, you aren't responsible for what you like or dislike. And once you find someones "ick" that you can't deal with, it's hard to get over it. I have a bunch of those - racism, unwilingness to learn, regular smoking. Theirs was just "man crying". Also, there is crying and then there is holding in emotions and exploding. Sadly, I'm guilty of the latter. I don't really blame them, rather I feel disappointed more than anything.

Having an ick for a loved one opening up to you is a red line for me. Not really justifiable by personal preferenze, but i understand your reasoning
