Abby, as I've said multiple times on your tiktok and youtube i really admire you and I'm your biggest fan. I feel so happy whenever i see a post of yours on substack that is free because i live in Ethiopia and i don't have any paying system to do paid subscriptions. I really love your writing, as cliché as it sounds it feel raw and real. I feel(at least i think i feel) every feeling you encapsulated to each passage. I felt the guilt you talked about as you were writing it. I felt the transition from needing male validation to almost pushing away male validation. Please keep writing more!

if the men who have followed you here have learned this much about u and ur life and still dont understand that fear they r stupid &dumb. im sorry that u cant interact with ur followers who are ever-inspired-by-ur-art-and-writing-to-the-point-that-it-has-gotten-me-into-journaling-and-i-doodle-on-everything-within-my-reach kind of way. ur videos on weight discrimination brought me to ur account in the boopyshmurda arc and ur way with words has made me stay ( for real ). as someone who has to deal with this fear of men irl every day, i hope your new social media branches can be pure and fulfilling and untouched by the degradation from men (pure in not a weird bible way but u kno). u slay and effervesce!

late to the party- i live in arizona and what you call a “normal [man]” truly is a rarity. as in my boyfriend is actually the first normal man i have met in my life period. i’m 20. well actually not that i’ve met period but that i’ve had a personal relationship to period. and this phenomenon makes it near impossible to date men especially as a feminist. like “the bar is in hell” means something really special here idk
