Your single existence might be ephemeral, but humanity isn’t, your community isn’t, and possibly your family either

It is though. Life has existed on this planet for just under 4 Billion years and in that time over 99% of all species to have ever come into existence have gone extinct.

Your community & family are no less ephemeral than the life you yourself live, but you won’t get to see any of that.

If we lose trust in our community or in humanity in general

I never had a reason to trust them to begin with, tbh.

It’s so fucking embarrassing I wish I could literally just not be my gender for awhile.

You should probably delve that particular line of thought more deeply, tbh.

Female encroachment on what has traditionally been considered male spaces is not taken well. Female empowerment is considered taking from deserving males.

The problem is that in the context of a “winner-take-all” society it does do that though.

Obviously the general solution is to make a society that is overall more equitable between those who succeed & those who don’t.

But if you aren’t going to do that then you will get a reaction from those who are losing ground, even if that happening is the morally progressive outcome.
