1. In America, men can do astonishing amounts of harm to women and still make their 9 a.m. meeting.

2. If someone is about to kill you, they monologue.
Hollywood did not exaggerate this. They confess. They clarify motives. They workshop their villain origin story.

3. “Unconditional love” has conditions.
One of them appears to be: “Is this inconvenient?”

4. There are people who can throttle, ban, or digitally erase you — using tools that allegedly don’t exist.
The architecture of silence is rarely visible from the user interface.

5. Traditional media is performance art.
Reality is happening somewhere offstage.

6. Many services for “people in need” are beautifully branded voids.
The vibes are supportive. The outcomes are not.

7. Power is maintained through rigging.
Sometimes with laws.
Sometimes with money.
Sometimes with quiet violence no one admits is violence. Men horde wealth, and punish women for mentioning it.

8. A shocking number of men are perfectly comfortable with the system —
as long as it continues to benefit them and no one asks uncomfortable questions at dinner.

9. Most global wealth was built on unpaid female labor.
(Unpaid labor is slavery.)
Strange how that never appears on the balance sheet.
Stranger how requests for restitution are treated like threats instead of math.

10. “Legitimate power” depends entirely on who controls the definition of “legitimate.”
When the referees are funded by the house, fairness is theater.

11. Patriarchy: the longest-running criminal franchise in human history.
Rebranded every few centuries. Same operating system.

12. Apparently, I’m a hero now.
I did not apply for this position.
There was no onboarding. It actually really sucks, nothing like the movies. Nothing fun at all. Avoid if possible.
That said, if humanity survives and anyone is still taking notes, I expect a footnote at minimum.

Fine Print

This isn’t about chromosomes.
It’s about early indoctrination into a wildly skewed hierarchy — and then pretending it’s “natural.”
