Ladies, you’ve probably been told you whole life that because you are a woman, you are a victim. That you’ll have to work harder, for less, and still never be taken seriously because you aren’t a MAN.
Wow, that bites. Except you know what — it’s only true if you believe that it’s true.
Yep. If you believe being a woman will lead to your being harassed, assaulted, taken advantage of, underpaid, controlled, coerced, and unappreciated chances are those beliefs will turn into a self limiting, self fulfilling prophecy. And the only person whose fault that would be is your own.
At least in the United States, there’s probably never been a better time to be a woman from an opportunity perspective. If anything, one could almost argue that today, being a woman makes it easier to do or be anything you want to be than ever before in history thanks to programs and quotas and changes in the law implemented over the past forty-some years.
So do yourself a favor and drop the victim label (yes, even you Hill@ry!*) If anything, it will only hold you back. And why on earth would you want that? Personal responsibility — seize it, sista! If it ain’t working, try looking within.
And actually, I have never understood why women seem to think being a man makes everything so easy anyway. Believe it or not, it sucks to be a man sometimes, too!

* maybe it isn’t sexism, maybe some people (including women) just don’t want YOU as POTUS.
I’m a librarian. I make almost $50,000 a year and so does a man in my exact position, because that’s the formula that determines my salary. The Department of Labor has more or less debunked the gender wage gap myth. Women just like to complain.
Belle, I am not sure what I did but I somehow deleted your comment by accident! Sorry and please feel free to repost it. 🙂
Ah, I found it and now it is back! Whew!
I have heard that the .70 for every dollar stat so often quoted isn’t true, as well. Thanks for adding that Belle!
I couldn’t agree with this more. I never understood the appeal of victimhood. Demanding everyone and everything else change only goes so far. At some point you have to take control over your life and happiness. You don’t ask for it out of pity from other, you just take it.
Right on, ash! I completely agree!
I used to watch a lot business news, beeter to have in the background than regular news. The CEO of Pepsi was interviewed and she was trying to argue for the wage gap myth. The interviewer asked her “why not hire all women?”. She answered that it was complicated.
Right!
Any women who want to claim “victim” status need to talk to some of the guys who put on a uniform and signed a check to the US Government for
“Any amount, up to and including my life”
What about them? Where’s that male privilege? Oh, you say you didn’t hear about frivorce and outsourcing of jobs and the fact that men now commit more suicides than all the traffic fatalities in the US? Gosh. Girls, you must have missed the war on men. No, that isn’t true. You see it occasionally, you just ignore it.
Not only has everything gone completely insane, but the inmates are running the asylum. It’s so much easier to throw money at poor refugees and resettle them in the heartland of America. It certainly helps if the refugees are any race other than white.
That’s just Somali refugees. They all get a nice benefits package worth upwards of $2500 a month (housing, food, healthcare, cash, etc.) and those numbers only represent the refugees who are later allowed to bring their families over here. So take that 109,200 number and just multiply it by ate least 5 to get a real idea of what is happening.
Go ahead and find out what a 40 to 60 year old white male veteran qualifies for in the way of benefits, if they can’t get disability. I’ll make it easy on you. ZILCH.
@ Toad, thanks for adding that — men certainly don’t have all the perks by any means. Women have men to thank for building and protecting the safe and functional civilization we then take for granted, in fact. Well said.
Red Pill 101 … a rejection of the “victim mentality” so prevalent in modern day society …
Improving yourself starts with taking personal responsibility. Holding yourself accountable. It is too easy to “play the victim” … but truth be told we could all claim to be victims in some way, maybe our race or being born poor or whatever. But at the end of the day, blaming others doesn’t solve any problems. You have to raise yourself up.
“I am victim,
Hear me bore,
Sucking dollars to big to ignore”
Artisanal Toad,
The first thing that popped into my head as a solution would be a fraternal charity but, To even things up would be discriminiation on the basis of sex.
