Checked Out
Dear men. Be careful of the woman you didn’t invite to your Halloween party this year. She may accuse you of a crime in her sulking over being left out stage while you’re getting your Halloween on.
Dear women. I thought you ladies won. I thought it was the “my body, my choice” slogan to the heavens. It is? Oh, but you don’t want any accountability. You live in a time when you can be Malala Yousafzai, Sophie Rain, or Jane Doe. And when I mentioned women, I don’t mean all women.

Dear men. Please stop being idiots, stop participating in orgy parties, and stop being part of anything that involves only one woman with a group of men. Some women want to be temporarily promiscuous and temporarily exhibitionists.
Dear creators, streamers and podcasters. Do better. Kat Abughazaleh. Kai Cenat. Candace Owens. Your voices are powerful. Many of your supporters hang on to your every word, and sometimes without evidence, because of the love that they have for you. These platforms and more have created sexual misconduct from the likes of Nina Lin, Andrew Callaghan, James Jackson, and others. It also created online personalities who will turn the other cheek, like Kiana Gabriel when her supporters are sexually harassed on her channel (and I was one of them), or Korey Coleman, who can turn a former female host into a sexual object without repercussion.
Dear society. Almost all women want men to care about their issues. Research will show that 40 percent of men globally support women. However, research will not show a percentage of women globally in support of men’s issues. Myron Gaines said society has overcorrected in favor of women. Was he right? There are women all over social media, it seems, making videos about how they hate men like it’s a presidential campaign. Should men stop supporting women? Is enough enough? Let’s imagine for a moment that they did. If women don’t stand beside us men, then we men shouldn’t stand beside women. Imagine men simply checking out. What would that world look like? It would be a cold world. Much colder than the one we have now. Women are now cancelled. Every single one of them. Wives, daughters, sisters, and mothers. All of them. They are cut like an obsidian blade. Equality is a bit of a lie anyway, and now it is truly realized. It’s your turn to feel the isolation, women. Yes, it’s your fucking turn. Finally. The gender wars were getting tired anyway, so now we stay on our own sides. The men are building robots and other human-like substitutes. The men will be fine. Civilization is going to change forever now. Cooperation among genders is over. Families, communities, businesses, and many friendships will end. Survival will be difficult for many, but not for everyone. The series The Island with Bear Grylls was created for a reason. Well, society, we can’t do that. Civilization, as corny as it sounds, is all-in-one, one-for-all. The future moves with all of us working together. What’s going on with Lindsay Clancy, Cornell 7, Kai Cenat, and whoever else in the news is a lesson to finally see ourselves in these matters. It’s time to start fixing things right now. Tomorrow is too late because delay can be an enemy.
