after my first semester of college, i feel like a completely changed person.

before starting college, i was the classic feminist. all men were trash in my eyes.. when i first got to the dorm, i was so used to treating men badly that when they said misogynistic things about me and the other girls, i was super upset. this happened for a whole week or so until the boys escalated things. they were saying things that were even more sexist, misogynistic. they even told us to do their laundry just because we were women and they always laughed at me having to wipe up their piss on the toilet seats and stuff since they don't lift the seat while pissing. after a month has passed, they started to hit us when we spoke out of line or if they thought we were talking too much. they said how they were re educating us. they called us all sorts of names, made, misogynistic and sexist comments all semester long.

when i went home for the break, my little brother, who's 17 would ask me to do stuff, and i did it without hesitation. that's when it really hit me and felt like i was actually re educated. before college, I would always say no to him, but after just one semester, i did everything he asked and apologized to him everytime I interrupted his sentence. this probably made him more misogynistic because he started to call me names and i just took it.

I'm going into my second semester now. I have no regrets being reeducated and i thank all men, especially these college men.
