"Women who speak up for themselves are rude.

Men who disagree will be scolded.

Those who insist will be ostracized.

I agree with and support your culture, just don't tell me it's normal.

Don't tell me I'm not better than you; that I don't know better than you.

You, who ignore my cries will be replaced, criticized and held as an outlet to my righteous anger.

Everything you say I am is a lie

Everything you say I did, I will turn back on you.

I am the wise one.

I am the champion."

...OR...

Maybe you're just a

misogynistic,

homophobic,

narcissist

who shines only through their blinding arrogance.

Get over yourself!
