What’s happening politically across the U.S. is enough for anybody to genuinely worry about. However, women have a lot to fear, seeing as history has been all but kind to them. Now, a New York woman is speaking up because she thinks the men in so many women’s lives don’t care enough. As she says, they’re “burying their heads in the sand” over issues that are a big deal. And in her opinion, it’s high time that things change.
TikToker Honey Badger (@friendlyhoneybadg5) is alarmed by some recent posts she’s seen on social media. Honey has seen lots of women say that the men in their lives (even those on the left) are telling them “not to worry.” They’ll continue with, “It’s not gonna affect us. It’s not gonna come here. Turn off TikTok; turn off the news.”
Honey urges women to reach out and tell her and others if the men in their lives are doing this. She said these are the same types of men who want women to “respect” them and be treated like the household “provider.” But if they can’t respect women when they’re feeling scared about our country’s reality, why should we respect that? It’s becoming a scary reality for so many. Honey said that if women don’t feel protected, they’ll get fed up. And in the end, “Your wives will leave you over this and you will have deserved it.” Women deserve to feel protected by a strong force that stands up to what is happening in the U.S.
Honey touches base on all the men who are ICE officers and hiding behind a mask to assert their dominance. She says they’re “hiding behind a mask to do” what they’re doing. She says that, at this point, women desperately “have to take over” and assert their rights where it counts. In her eyes, it’s important to consider if you want to start a family with a man who could “leave you out to dry.” It’s important to consider if you even want to remain in a relationship with somebody like that.
One commenter mentioned, “I’m so freaking tired of being told that I’m overreacting. My husband is on our side but he feels like I shouldn’t watch any news. Constantly made fun of for my emotions.” Another simply pointed out, “It’s called gaslighting.”
