These are all little rants I wrote over a year/two/months on google docs randomly. Feel free to check them out! I will answer any questions you may have. I am going to write some more too. Just thought I'd put these here and see what people think.

Women’s education may have ‘improved’ in terms of how many women continue education after high school, but in terms of knowledge and personal developments, I soon realized that we are in the same, though slightly better predicament as we used to be in before. There are many factors to women’s lives that hinder our personal growth, and even, motivation to educate ourselves beyond the education system. One of these issues is ingrained intrasexual development, which basically means, over decades, centuries even, we have been pressured by men, society at large, even each other, to put men first, and ourselves second. In order to gain status, security, and familial support, we aim to please man, to ensure our safety - though in the present, this has been transformed into it being ingrained, and displayed differently, as we no longer need men for security or familial support (in most cases). To aim to please men is to stunt our want to focus individually on ourselves, and educate ourselves, for men like a woman who makes him her primary focus. Another issue is motherhood, as being a mother takes our time, and our individuality away, and gives it to the child, for most of their life. It takes a lot of time and energy to be a parent, and often the mother is isolated, and often seeks the comfort of other mothers, in which they can talk about motherhood, and their children - otherwise there is nothing else to talk about with anyone else.

Policing other women is regressive to the movement of feminism. Dismissing other women’s ideas, beliefs, or opinions, is regressive. We are allowed to be critical of other women’s views, challenge them, but do so with a mannered heart. Challenging ourselves and each other is what will help shape ourselves to be the best humans we can be. Policing each other in the same way men police us, is worse than counterproductive - it’s brings us backward. Some examples of this are:
- Makeup/shaved legs/general appearance
- “Setting back the women’s liberation movement” specifically referring to the younger generation.
- Not focusing on “the right issues”
If you disagree with something a woman is doing, your reasoning should be that you hope for her to better herself- and then to offer guidance, support, and an opposing challenging view that will present her with something useful to work with. Being held accountable to ourselves differs from punishing ourselves in an ‘internalised misogyny’ framework of mind. For example, ‘purity’ - being mindful, as women, in an age of beauty being more scrutinised and controlled than ever, that maybe our impaired judgements on ourselves extend onto other women, consciously, or subconsiously. This can be convoluted in many ways, one being that we might judge other women for engaging in hookup culture, because we believe it’s harmful to her, and to the feminist movement. Take the judgement, and turn it into offering a challenging view, with again, a mannered heart, and show sympathy towards your fellow woman.
Policing ourselves is just as bad, for we often judge ourselves for not being good enough at something, and this is something that we can also work on. Being upset at ourselves for engaging in behaviour that is related to repeating traumas, or destructive behaviour because we are acting out on our caged minds, is something that takes a lot of time and effort to heal from. But to be reminded that we, as women, experience this due to the generational scrutinization from society, our parents, and each other, should be somewhat comforting. To know that we are not alone in that fact, as well as, to know that it is a product of mass policing done by the patriarchy, should fuel a fire in you to put in the effort to heal.

An Introduction to Women's Unfortunate, But Cursed With, Illness
You may have thought that women's suffering, or inequality, or conformity, has been settled by women fighting over the years for it, but this is an unfortunate and incorrect assumption. We are still living in man’s world, in man’s framework of mind, and framework of political and economical systems. We have been dumbed down by men, demeaned, and groomed; by our fathers, our brothers, and our peers. One thing is for certain to prove this “theory”: women do not know each other. We believe we know our own strengths and weaknesses. We are confused. We are uneducated. We are living in ignorance and vanity, and for who? For what? Is it for ourselves that our body is “unowned” and “free to do what we please with it,” or is it really for men, who want us to believe we are free from their oppression? Is it really in our best interest to put a price tag on our flesh, to let men control how we make income, rather than to make income in the same workplace as men? Is it freedom, to have to find income in self-demeaning behaviour, and for man’s pleasure and sin?
In this guide of sorts, I will be as straightforward as possible and leave vagueness for the devil.
Problems of Many
It seems to be that many women have ‘problems’ and ‘issues’, supposedly more so than men, in this day and age. I will try to address most of them, if not, just the important ones. Vanity is a high issue that has always been and always will be present in all of humanity, however, it is more commonly pointed out in women due to the fact that our biological imperative has been altered, and so it is no longer biological, and is rather, a nurtured economic imperative. Money is generated through our vices as men and women, and vanity is the number one driver. Why focus on such things; “my nose is too big!” and, “but I don’t look like her.” We, as women, would not care about such things if intrasexual selection were not a given benefactor in our society. If we understood subconsciously rather, that men were not needed for security, or status, even, then we would not be so competitively at work against one another. We consume so much social media, so much media in general, that it ends up consuming us; we are looking at every folly as women that we have, and comparing constantly, spending hundreds to look better, and nothing to be better.
“But if our Nature is spoil'd, instead of being improv'd at first; if from our Infancy we are nurs'd up in Ignorance and Vanity; are taught to be Proud and Petulant, Delicate and Fantastick, Humorous and Inconstant, 'tis not strange that the ill effects of this Conduct appear in all the future Actions of our Lives. And seeing it is Ignorance, either habitual or actual, which is the cause of all sin, how are they like to escape this, who are bred up in that?” (Astell, 61).
Societal hierarchies will not be changed, regardless of its vices, for it is shown throughout history - genealogically, or fixed.

The condition of modern man and the media they consume in regard to several and ‘romantic’ gratification is in a state far beyond decline. All men, and women, respectively, have some version in what their ‘ideal’ partner is. One that specifically fits their fantasy of the perfect life. Perhaps it is the decadence of modern life that has caused young men to stir in their neurosis and embrace the delusion of the perfect woman.
Media in particular has been one for brainwashing young men into obsessing over the ideal, the perfect, the unreal, the manic pixie dream girl. Depicting the normal - the real - women in film tends to lean on rejection, or heartbreak, to the male protagonist, whereas with the ideal woman, he is shown unconditional love and loyalty. Anime takes this to another level, wherein the self-inserts create dissolution of reality and the focus of the ideal becomes within the realm of the story, and the ultimate pleasure - the ideal woman. Putting the examples aside for what I think should be considered common awareness, they are there for the male audience. For the men who are ushered to stay indoors for whatever external [intention], they are then compensated with outside experiences with the opposite sex by being given these specifically augmented pieces of media.
Now this not only becomes a problem when the consensus on ‘women’ in men’s minds is altered to fit the narrative that the media is propagating, but when the man gets to the point where he needs to manifest his needs and his wants into reality. When men begin to interact with real women (if they do), they will quickly realize that they are nothing like what is being portrayed in the media they consume, and this will be a negative, as these real women are not the ideal - far from it, some may say. So after this phase, men will begin to turn to the alternative which is where it gets into manifesting a 2d waifu into that of a tulpa, summoning and binding a succubus, or something as simple as collecting body pillows, figurines, and posters of their 2d waifu. Some may move on from this phase, but it will never be forgotten, and those that are not a part of the more esoteric and occult alternatives will need proper stimulation, one that they cannot simply get by staring at a poster or spooning a pillow. So maybe they opt to get a girlfriend who is from reality, but only so this woman can be the catalyst - the connecting hole between worlds in which the man now gains the physical pleasure from.
