FDS is truly the ONLY (literally on the interent and irl) place I know 100% to be an encouraging and safe place for women to discuss our struggles.

In short: On a day to day basis I (we) experience and observe so much negativity, criticism, and unfairness against us, for speaking our minds, for setting boundaries, for just minding our own damn business. I get discouraged often but i will never stop speaking up about the misogyny in my workplace, where I am one of a few women working in a male dominated, red-pilled, storm-the-capitol, workplace. Cant even browse the internet without coming across a mgtow video or feminist gets DESTROYED video on YT, the mansplaining, gaslighting, on every forum and video regarding women's issues of ANY subject. The way men and the overwhelming majority of women are servants to the male ego; confiding in other women is often dangerous too!

I am greatful for what small bit of comfort this sub has given me, but hot damn is it lonely when you realize a lot of who you've assosciated with, loved ones, and your own dam self as being Low Value, racist, sexist and/or ignorant- and hence the severing of ties so the growth of our own spirits can flourish. Even before I had a lot in common with those i have distanced from, but change is REAL. What has helped the grief/guilt is focusing on goals, hobbies, and genuine connections with other like minded women!! Heads up ladies, dont let the bastards get you down!! 😜
