The Message for 2018


Read. Absorb. Repeat.
What's the problem? You seem miffed. You're ready to defend yourself. You’re not trusted, get over it. You have to question yourself, good. Do it. Do it everyday. You feel like you've done nothing wrong, well cut that shit out. To think everything you've said or done to women you have interacted with was welcome, asked for, or respectful is bold. Take off that Knight-in-shining armor, it doesn't come in your size or mine. It never did. 
Wake up men, it's time to be better. It's past time. We're oozing with toxic masculinity and we can't stay silent when other men throw up that toxic shit everywhere. 
Please do not create scenarios in your head with a woman to validate things you say and do. 
Stop looking at feelings and attaching them to only women. 
Lose the phrase:
"You know how women are." 
Lose it forever.

Ingest art from ALL TYPES OF WOMEN. Listen to women in music, read their books, absorb their speeches, and watch them be influential. Respect powerful women, respect normal women, respect all women. 
Understand that every part of their life is measured writ-large by men for no god damn reason other than being male, the same way some of us get jobs we don't deserve.

A lot of you are trying to find the best way to go about courting a woman. You want to just get better at consent. That's short sighted. It's still got an uncomfortable twinge of sexism and misogyny in it. You're only worried about what you get out of women in that thought. Root problem for all of us is this: respect.

Women owe you nothing. 
Women owe you nothing. 
Women owe you nothing.

We have to end this. Women were not made just for relationships, they weren’t made to just procreate. You have an opinion about any woman’s behavior, keep it to yourself, no one wants to deal with you projecting your wimpy insecurities on them. 

You’re walking on the eggshells from the eggs we (men) broke and then finally acknowledge that you have the empty carton in your hand. 

The uncomfortable, uneasy feeling your having, that’s a good thing. You just need a little push, that lands you far away from the outdated, unwanted, should-have-never-been-a-thing thought process you are wrestling with. 

Get rid of the mentality that creates a general psychological profile of one particular woman you’ve seen on some counter culture site that makes you apply that to ALL women. You do not have unfettered access to women, by herself or in groups. Sometimes, women want to be left alone. Fight the urge to open your mouth. 

You feel it’s exhausting to have to try and earn respect, and treat women with decency even though you feel that hey, I did nothing to be seen this way, why can’t I get the benefit of the doubt, why does it feel like there’s nothing I can do to alleviate this cloud of confusion?

#YesAllWomen

You’re going to push a woman to the brink with all the dumb machismo of the douchiest bro. You’ll claim that “you’ve got this” or “trust me.” We exhaust women. 
We hurt them. We try to control them and we don’t acknowledge the stress we put them under with our toxic stubbornness that: “we know better than them.” We claim to logical but when it comes to listening to women, reason is of no consequence.
It’s insulting. 

Men, read this all again. Thank you. 

Kill Chivalry. Just be kind.

Remember ๐Ÿ‘Her๐Ÿ‘ Name๐Ÿ‘


By Matthew Bright

The mother of two with a third on the way, her name is Myeshia Johnson, widow of Sgt. La David Johnson and receiver of The Presidents cold, soulless condolences. 

As Sgt. La David Johnson fought for a country that doesn’t always love him back, Myeshia Johnson lives in a country that doesn’t even see her. Her pain, grief, and suffering are a backdrop to the President’s disrespectful behavior while under the spotlight his asshole is front and center with his reoccurring supporting role of diet racism and zero calorie sexism. Which keeps winning an Inequality Emmy every single week. 

Images of Myeshia Johnson are everywhere of her fell over her husbands casket with her daughter by her side seemingly unable to process. 

Sgt. Johnson was ambushed during a mission fighting alongside Green Berets.
Three others were killed in that mission: Staff Sergeant Dustin Wright, Staff Sergeant Jeremiah Johnson, and Staff Sergeant Bryan Black. He waited days before acknowledging the loss of all four soldiers. Let’s now add to the ever growing list of “reasons Donald Trump is a White supremacist” he’s added layers of importance to fallen officers and not by rank. 

The President’s response to this attack and loss of life in the line of duty protecting this country is deplorable, and his comments to Myeshia lack tact, compassion, and civility. Some one who claims to love the military and this country very dearly, who understands the price of freedom, and a man who believes a piece of cloth represents this country and what it stands for, should have taken the phone from this Oval Office shit bag and spoke to Myeshia Johnson. 

“That’s what he signed up for” is what Congresswoman Frederica Wilson said she heard Government Cheese say to Myeshia Johnson on speaker phone. 
Conservative media outlets said that their drain-the-swamp and savior was simply speaking the way Military personnel and communities talk to each other. 

That’s how they speak to each other? 

First of all, you dodged the draft. A lot. 

Does anyone else realize that the President believes running the country is a Monday to Friday 9-5 position with weekends off. He went golfing instead of being at the funeral of the fallen soldier, Sgt. La David Johnson. 

He tweets about problems more than dealing with them and He’s viciously going after Black Women who challenge him. 

Jemele Hill, Frederica Wilson, Maxine Waters, and Myeshia Johnson deserve respect. That’s it, that is all that needs to be stated about it. 

No long plights, no breakdowns of thoughtless statements or demeaning comments, and no one is looking for hidden meaning in the crass bullshit coming out of that President’s rotten candy corn mouth about these three women or the rest of those selfish skin sacks he calls an administration. 

Respect Black Women. Believe Black Women.

This isn’t about race some will say (per usual), And I will say...

First of all, he admitted to sexually assaulting women. (“locker room talk”).

First of all, he didn’t remember his name. (Sgt. La David Johnson)

First of all, he humanized white supremacists and Nazis. (“Some good people”)

First of all, he called a group of predominantly black athletes protesting police brutality sons of bitches. (Take a Knee, Colin Kaepernick aka Kaeptain America.)

First of all, he says code words like “The good ole days.” (Campaign Trail)

First of all, Nazis and White Supremacists get off on his bullshit. (So much that they went back to Charlottesville and he said zip about it.) 

So when he says “That’s what he signed up for” to a pregnant black widow of a servicemen. Just like that list, after the second time, it’s not his first offense. 

It’s not just about race, it is ALSO about race. His ignorance and hatred is intersectional when it comes to minorities and women. 

He seems to jump at the moment to be sexist and racist at the same time since his last tweet about Jemele Hill. 

The widow, Myeshia Johnson, of Sgt. La David Johnson, spoke out today and doubled down on what was said to her in the limo that day. She described who was in the car with her and what was said. The Congresswoman Wilson was not lying despite the Biggest Baby to ever lead the country saying otherwise. 
She had no words for the President today after the interview on ABC News and why should she?


He wouldn’t believe them anyway. He only likes the color black when red and white are involved.
