So... going to rant a bit now but it's totally justified because OMG I'm still shaking from what happened but I'm also proud of myself...
-
Men opening doors for women is a symbol of aggressive patriarchy. Men are saying "You may enter or leave this place but only on my say so."
A man opening and holding a door open for a woman is him subconsciously reminding her that all men are in control of a woman's choices.

-
No woman should accept this. If a man holds a door open for you, tell him to stop trying to control where women can and cannot go in life.
-
So anyhow, that's me done with that. Still shaking from earlier and a little fragile, but it's a good feeling to know I won a small battle

Meet
@AprilTrubody. An elderly man simply opened the door for her. She called it "misogynistic bullshit" and is "still shaking."#whyimgaypic.twitter.com/SS2enKHJng -
excuse me but did I even give you permission to rip off my content and present it in your own tweet?
-
Post it on Twitter and it's publicly available. People can do what they want with it.
-
but why doesn't he just share my content, why does he have to post screenshots and act like it's his own tweet?
-
oh wait a minute... I know why... it's because he's a man who thinks he's entitled to everything women create...
-
oh get a life u wrong un

it's not true. A man opening and holding a door open for a lady is called being a gentleman

Then what happens when a woman opens the door for another woman? Is she trying to control her fellow woman's decisions too???

you're fucking crazy and rude. He wasn't oppressing you, it's called being nice. Maybe you should learn from him.
