r/women

so yesterday i did take off my hijab for the first time and it felt so good. the wind im my hair while cycling was everything. when i got back home my mom was shocked bc i didn’t tell her. in her eyes im commenting the worst sin and no one will accept this. i told her that nothing is gonna make me put it back on and she bawled her eyes out. told me i went out “naked”, im sick and need ruqyah (Islamic spiritual healing/exorcism).

my dad is on vacation and will come back in a few days. he doesn’t know nothing. last year when i told him through text that i wanted to take it off he said that he wasn’t the one i should be taking to about this. after that we hadn’t spoke in 3 months.

as off now how im feeling: still very anxious and fine at the same time. i don’t know what to expect from my father since he’s very hard to read and i don’t really have a bond with him.

thankyou all for ur nice messages, i will try my best to continue not wearing it and standing firm on my decision. its only day 2

Inspired by some clips I've seen of young men on the street being asked some variation of "if you became a woman (for a day), what is the first thing you would do?"

From the compilation shown, a lot of them were saying they'd do as much sex as they could in that 24 hours.

I find that sweetly naive. If they, as women, tried to have sex with men, they will quickly find out:

-you are not in control. Full stop. He is. He can easily prioritise his own pleasure over yours. He can use you and stop the act as soon as he gets off. Who cares if you came? He got what he wanted. He's satisfied.

-let's not talk about the possibility of you not wanting to go through with it and he doesn't agree. Who's stronger, you or him?

-the possibility of pregnancy which he doesn't care more about. It could uphend your entire life, but he doesn't want to wear a condom because it's "uncomfy"

-how dangerous hookups are for women. This is not a man who cares about you. Things can go south if he so desires.

-men will easily use you for a lay, and turn around and punish you for it. He'll tell other people how "easy" you were. They'll call you every name but a child of god. Nobody will want to be seen dating you.

Now, some might say I'm using a very reductive view of sex, but tell me, am I wrong?

Women have so much to lose sleeping around. Sleeping, period.

(Trigger warning)

As a 14 year old girl who installed reddit to ask for Fortnite skins, I am deeply enraged about the content I have stumbled across on here, and on TikTok.

Incels have come up with new terms such as

Hiplets (a term to make fun of women with hip dips. How stupid, the majority of women have them.)

TFR and TFD (very violent terms, I won’t be saying them here but if you want to research you can just please beware)

I am 14. I shouldn’t need to worry about these things. But it feels like I have to say something. Males get away with almost anything on the internet. Jokes about rape? Yeah that’s okay. Jokes about killing women? No worries!
But when a woman simply participates in a trend, it’s the end of the world. She is labeled with popular girl humour, or a pick me.

As a woman, I’m disgusted, as probably every other woman is. I hope all of you know that you are loved, beautiful and deserve everything. These males do not define you, and their words don’t make you any less of a woman. If this is deeply distressing to you please reach out for help 🫶🫶🫶

I love you all and I love women 🫶
