HISTORY: When Men Waste Time Policing Women, the World Stagnates

Throughout history, many men have wasted time policing women’s behavior instead of focusing on advancing humanity and building solutions. Here are som

Throughout history, many men have wasted time policing women’s behavior instead of focusing on advancing humanity and building solutions. Here are some notable examples:

1. Witch Hunts (1400s–1700s)

Instead of investing in science, medicine, and philosophy, societies across Europe and colonial America spent centuries accusing women of witchcraft for things like owning land, practicing herbal medicine, or simply not conforming to gender norms (people will absolutely believe THE WORST about a female human being who refuses to submit and conform).
Lost Progress: Countless innovative, healing, and smart women who could have contributed to society were executed, while energy was wasted on superstition instead of real advancements.

2. Banning Women from Education (Throughout History)

Women were actively barred from universities for centuries, under the belief that education would “weaken” their brains or make them unfit for marriage.
Lost Progress: Men wasted time enforcing these bans instead of allowing half the population to contribute to science, medicine, literature, and industry.

3. The Fight Against Women’s Right to Vote (1800s–1900s)

Instead of working on policies that improved education, economy, and public health, men spent decades arguing that giving women the right to vote would “destroy the family” or “lead to chaos.”
Lost Progress: The world could have benefited much sooner from women’s political input on social justice, education, and healthcare.

4. 20th-Century Workplace Discrimination (1900s–Present)

Men created policies that prevented women from working in STEM, leadership, and business under the idea that they should stay home.
Lost Progress: The world missed out on potential discoveries, innovations, and leadership because brilliant minds were locked out of the workforce.

5. Policing Women’s Clothing Instead of Addressing Real Issues (Ongoing) …

From laws restricting pants for women to school dress codes focusing more on what girls wear than on education, entire legal and social systems have spent more energy on women’s hemlines than human progress.
Lost Progress: While the focus was on skirts, shoulders, and hair, major societal issues like poverty, healthcare, and technological advancements were sidelined.
Leave the obsession with clothing and hair for middle schoolers through high schoolers. It is normal for their age group. Adults have business to take care of. A better world to create.

6. Moral Panic Over Women’s Roles in Music & Pop Culture (20th-21st Century)

From blaming jazz, rock, and hip-hop for “corrupting” women to publicly shaming female artists for their creative expression, men have spent decades attacking women’s autonomy in entertainment.
Lost Progress: Instead of building industries and supporting creative freedom, energy was wasted on controlling female artists. Too much critique of women and not enough self-introspection, innovation and the music industry is in a state of stagnation with some bright spots

7. The War on Birth Control & Reproductive Rights (1900s–Present)

Instead of investing in maternal health, childcare support, and better economic policies, men have fought against women having control over their own bodies and futures.
Lost Progress: Healthcare research could have advanced earlier and faster if time hadn’t been wasted on unnecessary restrictions.
*Attempting to evade and lower child support doesn’t count.

8. Online Harassment & Policing Women’s Presence in Digital Spaces (2000s–Present)

From doxxing female journalists to targeting women in gaming, tech, and online leadership, men have wasted time harassing women instead of building safer, smarter digital spaces.
Lost Progress: Instead of developing better tech solutions, investing time and energy in tech innovation, energy is wasted on misogynistic attacks that drive talented women away from industries that need them.

The Bottom Line:

When men spend their time critiquing, restricting, and controlling women, entire societies lose innovation, economic growth, and progress.

Instead of policing women’s choices, the focus should be on:
✅ Building new industries
✅ Creating sustainable solutions
✅ Advancing technology, education, and healthcare
✅ Strengthening communities through collective success

Ladies, let’s be real—too many male content creators are STUCK critiquing women instead of contributing to the world.

Hair choices?
Clothing styles?
How we speak, walk, talk, or exist?

👀 That’s not building anything. That’s just policing.

We need more men creating content that actually builds the world.
That means:

🔨 Finding solutions to real problems
📚 Teaching skills that uplift communities
💰 Sharing knowledge on financial freedom, business, and innovation
🤝 Building spaces for healing and growth
🌎 Advocating for justice and stronger communities

🔥 What builds the world? 🔥

Black history month geometric background.

✅ Finding solutions for our communities
✅ Creating resources for families to thrive
✅ Educating & mentoring the next generation
✅ Innovating & building businesses
✅ Healing from trauma instead of passing it down
✅ Championing justice for those who need it

✅ Men who create solutions move the world forward.
❌ Men who just critique women keep us all stagnant.

💭 Imagine if all that energy spent dissecting women’s choices went into creating something meaningful.

Rest in POWER to the incredible Angie Stone. WE love YOU. Thank you for loving us.

👏🏾 To the men already focused on progress—we see you, we support you, we uplift you.

💡 To the ones still stuck in the cycle of critique—it’s time to shift. Building is power. Policing is wasted time.

Let’s encourage more content that builds. The world doesn’t need more critics—it needs more creators, leaders, and problem-solvers.

Let’s start encouraging and supporting male content creators who focus on building, not belittling.

On this day, we are on the brink of World War 3 and there are men who are still critiquing women’s hair, clothes, and appearance.

Useless and disheveled priorities. Even if this world looked the way men want it to look on the outside, with the standards forced on women,….there would still be pain, depression, violence, abuse, suicide, hate, poverty, substance use, starvation, and war. So clearly, their alleged solutions are a waste of time and energy.

Can we move on now?

Because the world needs more builders, fewer critics.

🔥 Because history shows us one thing: societies that uplift women, thrive. Those that suppress them, stagnate. 🔥
