    Sometimes, when men tell me they are more powerful & privileged than me, I wonder (uncharitably) if this is what they want to believe.

        It almost certainly isn't but I do get indignant & want to challenge them to some kind of competition. As long as it's not arm-wrestling obv

        But if you believe reality is constructed by discourse, what abt not telling men they're violent rapists & women they're powerless nobodies

        reality isn't constructed by discourse - that's not how narrative causality works.

        Well, I don't think it is. I'm forever being told it is by Foucauldians & Lacanians tho.

        Ah, the terrible two-some. Thing is, I don't think anyone other than Foucauld and Lacan ever understood what they were talking about :)

        It is always followed by condescending attitude (boohoo stupid woman doesn't realise her oppression), so I'm a bit suspicious 🤔

        Feels like pure self aggrandisement. In reality, I wonder how much power they really hold?

        I'm guessing many men that take that line couldn't beat you at arm wrestling.

        Some of the things she got away with, you could ONLY get away with if you are a woman.

        Sadly there are both men and women who feel they need to intentionally impose - I say call them out in the most politest manner
