I don't think there are many women who haven't been harassed by men.
I've gotten rape threads starting at age 13, it happens to a lot of women as children.
But even the more subtle shit is frustrating. Woman says something, gets ignored. Man says the same thing, suddenly everyone quiet and nodding. Woman being kind, yeah, typical woman submissive bitch. Man being kind, ooh he's such an angel, wow.
I was a pretty tech savvy teen, but the moment something broke, the teacher was like "WE NEED A BOY HERE" and no, the boys in my class didn't know shit, but they always got elevated as if they came out of the womb knowing advanced math and hardware fixing.
Also, not being able to just be yourself without being judged in some way. You have sex with someone as a woman, you're a whore, you don't have sex, you're a prude, you have a career, wow you're a lost woman who should've been baby making, you make babies, wow you're a social leech who's proving that it's women's own fault that they don't make more money in the workplace. Women produce humans, months of labour, our bodies wrecked, most of childcare work heaved onto us, yet every child costs so much fucking money for us personally, we get nothing economically even though we're producing the very thing society needs, which is, people. We're expected to take on submissive roles in the bedroom per default, we only get taught about the dangers of sex and how to please males, never how our own pleasure works (penis in vagina sex isn't even pleasurable for many women, but we're still expected to do that and it's like the thing that "counts" as sex), we're expected to take care of the house and children even when we work full time, depending on which country we're born in, we get more harassment and just fewer rights per default and even in countries where we get pretty equal rights (NOT the US, I'm talking about western Europe), everything is still made for men (try reading "Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men"), like, women are more likely to suffer from chronic pain and are taken less seriously by doctors, I'm asexual and some people think that's natural for women because they don't like sex, like, then why are women having it at all, some definitely do like it, it just sucks for many, there's an orgasm gap (check out "Becoming Cliter
