The vitriol and smear campaign about women ‘talking too much’ is there because to men, it’s threatening to have women talk at all. If women talk, it’s only the matter of time before they start sharing information they have on men. Eventually they’re going to tell each other what men did to them in private, how they were harassed or devalued or abused, and they’re going to figure out their perception about men is correct. They’re going to organize and fight for their rights.

From the eyes of the oppressor, who makes their presence welcome by faking social reputation and pretending they’re all ‘nice’ and ‘safe’ and ‘would never do that’, seeing women talking would immediately cause a protective rage response. “Women talk too much.”, is a way to shame and stop women from sharing information, before they share what men need to be kept secret. Women’s solidarity scares them. Women organizing against them, is a threatening concept they fight to prevent.

We don’t talk enough.

males at home: I am an incapable toddler, I cannot learn how to wash, fold, cook, clean, iron, sweep or organize, I am useless little baby I do not have the brain capability to take care of anything and I also cannot remember to do it and if it’s left to me it will never get done

males at home: I also don’t have the emotional maturity to understand any of your problems, instead I think they’re funny and/or stupid, and I will laugh at them. Also don’t expect me to not explode in rage and throw a tantrum when things aren’t going my way because my way of communication is that of an undeveloped toddler.

males at workplace: I, of the superior intellect and sense, am more capable of this very grown-up responsibility, I am the only one with the rationality and logic, I alone hold the ability to make these important choices without getting swept up with emotions or ‘caring too much’ (which in translation means I will feel no guilt making a call that benefits me and decimates everyone else, because this is the only logical and rational way to live, women are so stupid for caring how their choices effect others if these choices can benefit them! Except of course if they don’t care how it effects me, which is illegal and a crime, actually)
