Melanie Hamlett has made an important video about the way men sabotage women's lives. It's close to 10 minutes, but it is worth watching all the way to the end.
It's a reminder to all of us that, when given the chance, men will use us, drain us, and derail us. They will steal our ideas, our energy, and our time. They will snuff out our light. They will demand so much of us that we have nothing left to give to our creative pursuits.
How many women's dreams have been destroyed by men? How many female writers, artists, musicians, etc did we miss out on because they met a man who sucked them dry?
It's happened to me, and I know it's happened to all of us on this forum. Men are not worth it. Ever. The most radical thing we can do is decenter them from our lives and live for ourselves.
Melanie is also on Tik Tok. She makes excellent videos.
Thank you for sharing! I love her 😍
