I won't lie, I called women b!tches """ironically""" until I got a girlfriend and realized how mad it makes me when dudes call my girlfriend, or any of my women friends, a b!tch even when they're """ironic""". It's also when I started bullying me friends for saying shit like that, and when I realized how shitty my dad is.

But I have never called a woman "sweetie" or anything shitty like that. My biggest thing is that I say shit like "yeah man" when talking with women and immediately realize many women probably don't appreciate that. I've also been accused of mansplaining, and instead of dismissing that I try to have a conversation about how I came across like that so I don't do the same in the future.

But my mom was my main role model / caretaker as a child so I learned about the patriarchy at a young age, and my dad's a piece of shit. I think it's what started my path towards radicalization
