If you've paid attention then you've heard that men have no idea what the lived experience of a woman is like. That we can't imagine what it's like to have no bodily security, at risk at all times, after dark or in a lonely street, or what it's like to endure the pains of labor

I'll bite that bullet, and note that women fail to mention other experiences unique to their sex: the feeling of erotic compulsion towards beings who could physically overpower them, crush them, smother them; the visceral and overpowering force of their emotions (neurotypically)

The reason I will bite that bullet is that it forces us to bite a symmetrical one. The claim is that there’s nothing in male life that women don't know, because men are the architects of the world; this gives us too much credit, and women far too littlehttps://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1055228737304686592 …

Zero HP Lovecraft @0x49fa98Suppose we grant many of our enemies premises; that representation in media is important to mental health, that implicit cultural assumptions—we won’t be so crass as to call them biases—shape our self identity—that no one can actually contradict YOUR lived experience, what then?Show this thread2 replies 16 retweets 109 likesShow this thread -
Indeed the world of men is inaccessible to women, just as the world of women is inaccessible to men. Regardless of how you understand the difference, if we're to accept that such a thing as "lived experience" is impenetrable from the outside, then we must cede it to everyone

You might object that all of the western canon was written by men, & therefore the content of male lived experience is abundantly clear, but if you make that argument, then we reply that only a man, maybe only a certain sort of man, has the lived experience to decode these texts

The component of male lived experience that is wholly unaccessible to women, more than any other, is the colossal and abyssal apathy of the universe towards you. Women cannot relate to this, except perhaps women of exceptional ugliness, childless crones, and FtM transexuals

No. You can find accounts online of women who have taken male hormones and tried to live as men and expressed surprise and dismay at how indifferent everyone becomes to them.

"Being valued," really? Notwithstanding the obvious blessing and gift of your own penis, do you really think a bunch of men wanting to stick their dicks in you is "being valued"? Try again.

Cosmic preference for egg-bearers goes far deeper than anything males might want (while ultimately determining that).
