Honestly I'm resentful towards men. In general. I'm resentful that I have to deal with them. I'm resentful that they benefit from the patriarchy and expect me to play along. I'm resentful that I've been dependent on men and still feel like I need them for financial security. It's a really difficult place to be in because even if I can cut romantic

Oh I so felt this way before. Word.

But what to do? I've talked to so many different women about this and they're either "yeah me too fuck the patriarchy I'm going to get more cats" or "yeah but now I'm married with kids" I'm not hurting the patriarchy by being angry and resentful. I'm only hurting myself, but I have no interest in marriage, kids or cats either.

I think you being strong in your choices and living the life YOU want to live is the best 'revenge.' I don't want to be a crazy cat lady, and even while I am married to a man and we have kids, we make decisions that look 'normal' but that come from a decidedly non-patriarchal place. We pick certain battles to fight. You can't fight patriarchy alone, but good thing you're not alone.
