I was born a man. And I did nothing.
Nevertheless, people said that I am to blame for the corruption of the world. I am to blame for the patriarchy. I am toxic and violent.
As if my mere existence brings pain. Why? I have done nothing.
I have also felt pain and been hurt, misunderstood, disadvantaged, and forgotten. Why am I automatically accused of being the aggressor? Why does my story count less than that of the other gender?
It hurts so much to be constantly portrayed as the villain just because I am a man. I feel misunderstood and unfairly treated.
I often wonder what I did wrong.
I also have dreams, rights, fears, and love.
I just want to live fairly, be loved, and understood.
Why can’t I just be myself?
I just want to be treated fairly. What did I do wrong? I just want to live fairly.
