Before going for a protest or even organizing one, my main motivation is,
"At the end of the day, when the demands from this protest are met, would I gain from it?".

That is my driving force behind any protest I go for.
Now, it is commendable that everyone is protesting.
However, ask yourself.
After this protest to end sars, what do I stand to gain as a woman?
After this protest to end sars where I have been groped and harrassed, what aspect of my reality as a woman will change shape?
After this protest to end sars, will men in uniform scare me?
Now as a woman, if your answers to all the above questions are in the negative,
I really need you to sit with yourself and ask why you are protesting for these men.

I need you to ask yourself why as a woman & as a feminist, even though you have never come for an endrape protest,
you showed up today for men.

I am not shaming you for doing the human & indeed the kind thing to do.

But women sticking our necks for causes that are of no benefit to us in the long run points to a big problem.

Ending SARS will not end the violence we face at ALL enforcement.
I am really curious why knowing fully well that this movement is only gaining this amount of anger cause men are the victims,
some feminists decided to stick out their necks for it.
Even after ironically screaming brimstone when a man said we should be human shields.
What is the rationale behind this behaviour?
Is it cause we have brothers, sons and what have you?

Not just that, what is the rationale behind feminists offering up the phone numbers of women who disagreed with them to be bullied and doxxed?
Again I reiterate, if I experience harrassment from law enforcement at a protest for women's rights,
I would take it in good stride and see that I am doing it for women.

Women being groped at a protest is wrong no doubt.
But I am yet to understand why women are doing this.
Why women are protesting for men for a cause that has ZERO benefit to women.

Before you go on that protest or write tweets giving women tips on how to stay safe ask yourself,
"What is the point of protesting if I am not safe on the protest grounds from men?".

C'est la vie.
