Does anyone else feel this is affecting their mental health but also feel that it’s too important to walk away from?

I do. I’m on MN and Twitter every day and I feel so enraged and powerless by it all. It’s so fucking ridiculous and bullshit and gaslighting ( today I listened to a interview on Kent radio with ‘ Dr Rachel’ and I felt so angry I just wanted to chuck my phone across the room. ) I’m 54 and I cannot believe it’s come to this. The good Dr is saying, with a straight face, that there are no biological advantages between men and women? Even a child knows there are massive differences, why are we even debating this shit???

So I feel v conflicted between wanting to just walk away from this bollocks as it’s constant, but also feeling like I HAVE to know what’s going on, as it’s such a massive fight which we CANNOT lose.

I don’t want to live in this state of constantly feeling enraged. And I know there’s been a few small wins, but why, in 2019 are we having to fight for the literal definition for what the word woman means...???

Yes the suffragettes went through absolutel hell, beatings, imprisonment, force feeding, I feel very humbled and grateful for their courage. But that also makes it worse, as we seem to be on the verge of losing all these hard won rights.

We just have to keep on going.

Think of what the suffragettes had to do

I feel the same, it's so fucked up it's a waking nightmare and every day there's some new gaslighting to contend with. Take a few days out for yourself here and there though to focus on something else.
