A near rhyme (of Nietzche)

Envy, woman to woman, is a major obstacle against women’s advancement.

I felt like writing that because all I’ve ever read about patriarchy is that women are victims or have somehow been coopted by men in the perpetuation of the order.

Firstly, at the outset, humanity is the ultimate predator. To claim one half of it is caring and kind, is simply one of its myths.

In my experience woman is the enforcer of patriarchal values, if that term is not an oxymoron.

And for me and my experience,  most of my oppression that I care about comes from other women. Because of envy.

I’ll give some small examples in the last few weeks, but I could write a tome of incidents if twere about my life.

In a chemist recently, I walked in, and a woman looked me up and down and triumphantly declared “she stinks”, and let out a snort. I obviously threatened her. There is no other explanation for her behaviour other than that I’m awesome.

Two, observe women talking to men: they never stick up to men and if you do, they are so threatened by a strong female, they’ll call you a bitch.

An illustration now, to show exactly what I mean

I was walking down the street today, and immediately thought “bad news” when I saw three women standing across the path. I didn’t look at them, but of course I heard from behind that cancellation: “shes not even gay”. I don’t even know who they were themselves, all I knew is they were three bad newses. Keeping on I passed a man. Again I didn’t look at him so had no idea who HE was, but he said to me “you’re not even gay”.

The simple equation is:

A straight males voice carries as much weight as the PM’s. What they say, even a lie, will override FACT. Cause sexism blinds people.

Then they will sic women onto you.: patriarchy Tracy’s. The males who are their elite they will never challenge. These women ENFORCE the male voice. With their envy.

I could have so many men, but I do not want them. The curse is it makes them want me more. When a Tracy sees this, she goes red, into a rage of wrath. The dimwit of her choice just has to press the button. If I’m friendly, he can pretend there’s two women fighting over him, he can big noted himself over his crushed ego. And dimwit ill meaning Tracy  every time.

Like I said, none of the slimes claims are based in reality. It is only to get advantage over a or another woman. Sexuality is an obvious choice.

In my case it is all hearsay, implication and projection.

So, enforcing these, the Tracy’s and the slimes fulfilled some bizarre contract. They both enter into a lie, for the Tracy knows exactly WHY he has made these claims in the first place. It is predatory and just plain wrong.

The Tracy brings on board the other three bad newses,  who, sensing a threat to their vanity, suddenly laugh and lie too. It happens. Shit happens like this every time. They all lie: cause you’re a female and can talk to and stand up to a man. Whatever their excuse, no one questions all their motivation. Yes, it is taking on patriarchy, but yes, females are a half of it, it takes two to tango. And even lesbians get involved. To say I’m not a lesbian cancels me out of the competition. That is not co-option. That is collective oppression. By women. Ladies, let’s cut her down so she never has an advantage over us! And ladies, my illustration shows, this is how the female race will never advance! Forget men, don’t focus on them. Heal thyself.

I am awesome. I’m sure a lot of women will take issue that I am a woman who dares to say that. I’ll get a lot more appellations. I’ll be accused of something else.

That is my observation of my life, on and on. I have seen other women such as sinead o Connor and Julia Gillard, who did the least thing to challenge orthodoxy, suffer similar treatment. Even female stars who come out are constantly scrutanised and stuck trying to make excuses for their sexuality.

Perhaps on a more positive note, taking responsibility is a way to increase sovereignty and agency….I’m cool. Whatever!
