Before You Press Play

There is a particular kind of woman people love calling a bitch. Strangely enough, they rarely call her one while she’s doing what they want.

She’s sweet while she’s available. Understanding while she’s accommodating. Loving while she’s overextending. A “good woman” while everyone still has access to her.

Let her say no, though..let her require reciprocity, let her become harder to manipulate with disappointment or let her stop explaining herself and watch how quickly the adjectives change.

So before you decide she’s difficult, selfish, cold, or simply a bitch, I want you to consider something far more uncomfortable: maybe the insult isn’t describing her character. Maybe it’s describing someone’s experience of losing access to the version of her that benefited them.

This conversation goes much deeper than boundaries.

Press play.

Is She Really a Bitch? Or did she simply stop being useful to you?

Before You Enter...

This isn’t an article. It’s a confrontation.

If The Religion of Male Approval made you realize how much of your life has revolved around being chosen, this letter asks a far more uncomfortable question: what actually pleases you? Not what turns him on. Not what keeps him interested. Not what makes you desirable. You.

Most women have spent years studying men. This letter invites you to study yourself.

Fair warning you may never look at your relationship with pleasure, sex, desire, or even your own body the same way again.

This is one of the most intimate things I’ve ever written. Put on your headphones, close the door, and tell yourself the truth.

Dick is going to be the downfall of a lot of women, it’s not because sex is the problem. A lot of it is that desperation has become eroticized, and many men can smell you coming.

What’s disturbing is that so many women don’t even have a relationship with their own bodies. Why? Its simple no one taught them.

Some women know every inch of a man’s body but have never taken the time to become students of their own. They know how to turn him on, what keeps him interested… They claim to even know how to become unforgettable in his memory, yet they’ve never asked themselves a far more important question: “What actually brings me pleasure?” Not because they don’t care..again cause nobody ever taught them that the question even mattered.

The conversation was never about understanding their own pleasure, honoring their own desires, or learning themselves. It was and has always been about him. Good church girls are taught “make sure you please your husband.” or “you better keep your man.” Oh and my personal favorite “don’t you let another woman take your place.”

In far too many spaces, women aren’t taught to know themselves….they’re taught to become “useful holes” to and for men.

The first sexual script many women inherit isn’t about self-discovery, it’s often about male retention. Keep him, please him, or don’t you lose him. Don’t forget the infamous “ don’t you let another woman take him” wrapped in twisted scripture about not letting the marriage go asunder. Very few women are taught that discernment is just as important as desire.

So they grow into women who know exactly how to perform and have no idea how to receive. This spreads across many areas of their lives. They’ll spend years trying to become unforgettable in bed while remaining complete strangers to themselves.

Some call this sexual liberation, I surely don’t. If your sexuality is still organized around male approval, you’re simply performing with more confidence. Freedom isn’t measured by how many men desire your body. It’s measured by how little your worth depends on whether they do (read that again).

Yea you know what makes him moan, but you’ve never stopped long enough to ask what actually brings YOU pleasure.

Meanwhile, there are women opening the doors of their homes to men who arrived with nothing but dick. No vision, no discipline, no integrity nor purpose…just good dick. The crazy part is somehow that was enough for penniless and homeless men gain access to your peace, your finances, your body, and your future.

I’ve watched women mortgage their peace for chemistry, delay their purpose for attention and ignore every single red flag because the physical connection felt too good to walk away…yikes on a spiky seated bike..

Every exchange reveals what you believe something is worth. When your discernment loses to desire every single time, desire has become your master and you are the slave/ worshipper.

There are women kneeling to worship the phallus of men who wouldn’t bend an inch for them. You’ve built altars for men who wouldn’t build a life with you.

Anything capable of reorganizing your values has become your god. If good dick can make you betray your standards, ignore your intuition, abandon your purpose, or finance a man who has no intention of building beside you, then it isn’t just desire anymore. It’s worship.

There is no coochie good enough to make a man care when he has already decided he doesn’t. You can’t screw your way into being valued. You can’t ride your way into commitment and you damn sure can’t outperform a man’s lack of character with pussy.

Every day, women attempt to negotiate love with their bodies, this exchange rate has never favored them. Love has never been earned through performance and respect has never been produced by pussy.

Character has never been seduced into existence. If he lacks integrity before he jumps up and down inside of you, he will simply become a man without integrity who has now slept with you.

Sleeping with another woman’s man doesn’t make you powerful. Cause to him, you’re not the prize…you’re just new pussy. To be clear, if that’s the only thing that made you valuable, understand that “new” always becomes “old.”

Novelty has an expiration date, character doesn’t. The woman who mistakes novelty for power will spend her life competing with women she’s never met while craving what he willing gives to the one he actually wants. The woman who knows her value never enters the competition in the first place.

The greatest irony is that some women have offered their bodies to countless men yet have never experienced genuine pleasure themselves. These same women have performed orgasms while protecting the egos of fools and feeding men’s fantasies.. the do all of this while abandoning themselves.

Can you imagine lying about your own pleasure to preserve the confidence of a man who never cared enough to discover what actually brings you joy? Whew how tragic! Baby that is some of THE WILDEST work. Let me be the first to tell you that this is not feminine power sweets, it’s more like self-abandonment wearing cheap lingerie.

I mean imagine actually centering a man’s pleasure so completely, so deeply that your own pleasure becomes optional…..oh the horror, I tell you! Don’t you see it? So many women becoming fluent in a man’s body while remaining illiterate in their own… Chile that ain’t intimacy..it’s pretty horrible conditioning, if you ask me.

The woman every man can have is rarely the woman any man reveres, you need to realize this. The real power has never existed between your legs, real dark feminine actually exists in the mind of the woman that decides who will never gain access to them.

A woman who truly knows herself doesn’t compete, she doesn’t audition for men. She doesn’t bargain with her self-esteem because she doesn’t negotiate with loneliness. I can guarantee that she damn sure doesn’t confuse good dick with good character….cause the two aren’t synonymous.

Hard truth:the most dangerous woman isn’t the woman every man wants. It’s the woman who no longer organizes her identity around being wanted by a man. She doesn’t need male desire to confirm what she already knows about herself. You may ask, what does she know? She knows that belongs to herself first and that everything else is optional.

The question was never whether your vagina was good enough to keep a man..newsflash, cause it ain’t. The question was why you believed it needed to be?I don’t know when it happened, but somewhere along the way, women stopped asking, “Is he worthy of access to me?” and started asking “How do I become unforgettable to him?” It was on that sad day desire became her prison instead of her pleasure.

Understand that a woman who belongs to herself is difficult to seduce with attention. Why? because she no longer mistakes being wanted for being valued and I hope you will too.

I know you’re probably reading this like… what the hell is she saying? Is she deifying herself? Is she trying to identify herself as “GOD”? My goal is to do neither of those things. My only goal is to be 100% honest about me. So if you’re going to judge me, at least read it in its entirety first.

Let’s start with the definition of worship. Merriam-Webster defines worship as a verb two ways: to honor or show reverence for as a divine being or supernatural power, or to regard with great or extravagant respect, honor, or devotion. Though the first definition tracks according to Genesis 1:27, what I am speaking on is the second: to regard with great or extravagant respect, honor, or devotion.

Most women desire to be relieved of self-responsibility by men under the guise of being liked, led, picked, and chosen by them. I don’t seek a man for relief from self-responsibility. I have faced the shadows of this reality long enough to come into the understanding that no level of romance can nor will rob you of the responsibility of facing SELF. That’s law, and no one is above that program.

Now let’s not get this confused. I allow myself to receive help. I like, enjoy, and love men, and they love me baby lol, but this ain’t about them so back to me. I don’t need a man to rescue me, be my savior, or be my leader.

Why? I’ll use my understanding of my spiritual and scientific nature. According to Luke 17:21, the kingdom of heaven is within me. Scientifically, I am body signal first and consciousness second, so I’m not lacking in leadership. Part of my assignment is being a leader. I know who I am, I know whose I am, and most importantly, I know what I want.

I’ve noticed something. The word leader has become almost sacred in conversations about relationships. Women are begging for leaders. I see it every day. “Lead me,” “Cover me,” “Choose me,” “Tell me what to do.” Again, I’m not condemning it. I’m observing it.

Power is attractive. Leadership is attractive. I understand why women desire it. I’m simply acknowledging that it has never been the thing that has called to me. Direction has never been my deficit. Abandoning myself was and I addressed that.

I did and continue to do the work of becoming accountable to myself. I learned how to stop violating my own standards. I learned how to stop outsourcing my discernment. I learned how to trust what my body was communicating before my mind had the language to explain it.

So what exactly would I need someone to lead me away from? The very woman I spent years becoming? No. That doesn’t interest me.

From what I’ve witnessed, many men who occupy positions of leadership rarely exist on support alone. They often have two different ecosystems surrounding them. One provides structure. The other provides reverence.

The support is usually the woman laying down her currency: her time, her labor, her body, her loyalty, her emotional capacity, and sometimes her dreams, all in an effort to fortify his structure. That can look like marriage, family, or legacy.

Then there are the worshippers, the admirers, the women who see him, inspire him, and remind him who he is. They are the women before whom he can lay himself bare without the weight of always performing leadership.

I’m not saying it’s right, and I’m not saying it’s wrong. I’m stating my honest observations. These kinds of men often seem to need both. And many women who intentionally position themselves with leaders appear to understand that dynamic. Whether people agree with it or not is another conversation entirely.

Some of you are probably reading this thinking, “Is this even realistic?” I don’t give a damn what you think is realistic.I’m not writing fantasy. I’m telling you what I’ve experienced. I’m telling you what I’ve observed. I’m telling you what has consistently revealed itself to me. You’re free to disagree. But your disagreement doesn’t invalidate my reality. I’m not asking you to want what I want. I’m simply refusing to lie about what I do.

Then I see women online screaming, “Where are the yearners?” Baby, leaders don’t usually yearn. Worshippers do. From where I stand, leadership and yearning require two different allocations of attention.

A leader’s attention is often consumed by responsibility: the vision, the mission, the people, the structure. A worshipper’s attention lingers. He notices, studies, remembers, delights, admires, and yearns.

Maybe that’s another reason I’m NOT been fixated on finding a leader. I’ve been looking for a man whose attention doesn’t merely pass over me... it rests. Again, I’m not saying one is better than the other. I’m simply being honest about which one speaks to me.

As for me, I have no desire to become someone’s infrastructure, nor do I desire to become someone’s worshipper. I don’t want to disappear into another person’s mission simply because they’re powerful. Power attracts me, but it doesn’t persuade me. There’s a difference.

When I say I prefer a worshipper, people assume I’m talking about hierarchy. I’m not. I’m talking about regard. I’m talking about perception. I’m talking about someone who never becomes casual with me, someone who continues to study me, observe me, remain curious about me, and pay attention.

Because attention is expensive. Everyone says they value something, but very few people consistently give it their attention. To me, attention is one of the purest forms of devotion. A man who reveres what he has doesn’t just fund it; he protects it, allocates his resources to it, and studies it. Resource is simply the baseline of regard.

People become careless with what they’ve made common. That’s true in business, family, friendship, and certainly in love. People stop looking, listening, and learning. They assume, and assumptions quietly replace intimacy.

I’ve never wanted to become ordinary in the eyes of the man I love, nor do I desire to make him ordinary in mine. I want us to remain worthy of discovery. I want there to always be something left to notice, something left to admire, and something left to learn.

Because reverence keeps curiosity alive, curiosity keeps presence alive, and presence keeps intimacy alive.

Maybe that’s why “leader” has never stirred me the way it seems to stir so many women. I’ve never been captivated by a man’s ability to direct people; I’ve been captivated by his ability to perceive them.

The man who notices, remembers, pays attention, and sees what everyone else overlooks. The man who refuses to become familiar with what he claims is valuable.

That’s what I mean when I say I prefer a worshipper. Not because I believe I’m above him not just because I am divine, but because I believe extraordinary regard creates extraordinary relationships.

The irony is that’s exactly how I love. I pay attention, I remember, I observe, I learn people, and I protect what I value. So I’m not asking for something I refuse to give. I’m simply asking for the language that best describes the way I naturally experience love.

Some women want leaders, and I respect that. I simply don’t. I’ve spent too much of my life becoming a woman capable of hearing herself, trusting herself, and leading herself to suddenly confuse romance with relinquishing responsibility.

So no, I don’t need a leader. I actually prefer a worshipper.

Modern culture keeps trying to convince women that sex is only physical. An act. An experience. A release. A moment.But the female body has never behaved as though sex were “just physical.” And deep down… most women know that.

Because there are men women no longer speak to… yet their body still reacts when they hear his name like a song it tried to forget. There are experiences women intellectually moved on from years ago… yet something in the nervous system still tightens when they remember how they were touched, spoken to, abandoned, desired, ignored, worshipped, or consumed.

The body remembers what the mouth tries to minimize. And this is where modern women are becoming dangerously disconnected from themselves.

Culture keeps teaching women to override the intelligence of the body in order to appear emotionally detached, sexually liberated, unbothered, evolved. Meanwhile the nervous system is recording everything.

Some women have spent years calling themselves “sex positive” while their body quietly deteriorated under repeated emotional trespassing.

Sex is not just physical. It is rhythmic. Psychological. Linguistic. Emotional. It is music.

Subscribe now

Two bodies create rhythm. Breath changes tempo. Heartbeats accelerate. Skin becomes percussion. Words are spoken over the beat.

Whatever is repeated rhythmically long enough begins entering the nervous system differently. This is why music alters mood. Why chants alter state. Why repetition alters memory.

The female nervous system is deeply responsive to rhythm, emotional tone, anticipation, tension, release, sound, touch, and emotional atmosphere. The body absorbs what the mind is still trying to intellectualize.

The body does not care about the story a woman tells her friends afterward. It responds to rhythm. To inconsistency. To longing. To emotional exposure. To who entered her with hunger instead of care.

And before people become defensive… this is not anti-sex. This is anti-delusion.

The female body is far more psychologically intelligent than modern culture allows women to admit. The body does not experience access the same way the ego narrates access afterward.

A woman can say: “It meant nothing.” Meanwhile her nervous system has already: attached, imprinted, anticipated, grieved, or fragmented.

This is why many women feel emotionally “off” after certain sexual experiences they convinced themselves were casual. Not because they are weak. Not because sex is immoral. But because access has consequence.

Modern women have normalized letting strangers psychologically fingerprint them in exchange for temporary validation and then wonder why they no longer feel connected to themselves.

Culture calls women “free” while rewarding behavior that leaves many of them emotionally fragmented, chemically attached, spiritually exhausted, and disconnected from their own intuition.

The body is not stupid. The female body has been sounding alarms modern culture keeps trying to rename empowerment.

It remembers who entered it with reverence. It remembers who entered it carelessly. It remembers who entered it while lying, while emotionally disconnected, or while trying to consume instead of cherish.

Women underestimate how much emotional information the body absorbs during intimacy. Especially when the woman herself is emotionally disconnected from her own discernment.

Sex is not just penetration. It is emotional exchange. Psychological exposure. Nervous system contact. Energetic rhythm. Attachment rehearsal. Identity reinforcement.

Poor puss management (sexual discernment) rarely stays contained to the bedroom. Women keep trying to isolate sex while their nervous system keeps leaking the consequences into their focus, standards, emotions, and self-worth.

Many women think they are struggling with confidence… when they are actually carrying emotional residue from unmanaged access.

Many women think they are “crazy”… when their nervous system is reacting exactly the way a nervous system reacts after repeated exposure without safety, consistency, clarity, or containment.

The body is biochemical long before it becomes philosophical. The female nervous system was never designed for reckless access disguised as empowerment.A lot of women are pathologizing biological responses they were never taught to understand.

And this is the part nobody wants to talk about: Some women are not emotionally exhausted from life. They are emotionally exhausted from allowing men access to their body who never earned access to their nervous system.

That changes a woman. Especially if she keeps overriding her intuition in order to maintain proximity to desire, validation, chemistry, or temporary emotional relief. The female body can experience attraction and danger simultaneously. Modern women are being taught to mistake intensity for safety all the time.

But intensity is not intimacy. Chemistry is not emotional safety. Desire is not discernment. And access does not automatically equal connection.And honestly? Some women are not addicted to men. They are addicted to interruption. They are addicted to being temporarily relieved from themselves.

They seek relief from loneliness, grief, invisibility, stress, or self-hatred. Some women are not searching for sex; they are searching for a few hours of being chosen, touched, wanted, and seen.

This is where discernment collapses. Loneliness can make danger feel like intimacy when the body has gone too long without tenderness. A woman can know a man is emotionally unsafe… and still crave the temporary nervous system relief his attention provides.

That does not make her stupid. It makes her emotionally hungry. And hungry women will mistake almost anything for nourishment.

Emotionally starved women will romanticize almost anything that briefly feels like relief. Even danger. Even lust. Even men who enjoy access more than responsibility.

Inconsistency does not always weaken attachment. Sometimes it intensifies it. Emotional unpredictability becomes chemically linked to anticipation and hope inside the nervous system.

Nothing haunts the female nervous system quite like inconsistency wrapped in tenderness. Especially when she has confused being emotionally activated with being emotionally valued.

A lot of women are not in love. They are chemically trapped inside cycles of anticipation, fantasy, and emotional withdrawal. This is why some women become emotionally attached to men they barely know. Rhythm, language, sex, and physical intimacy create extremely powerful nervous system imprinting.

Unfortunately, many women allow men to play inside their nervous system before those men have demonstrated integrity, consistency, or genuine care. That is dangerous.

Unmanaged access to the body often becomes unmanaged access to the emotions, the attachment system, the identity, and eventually… the soul of the woman herself.

Some women do not realize they have been emotionally colonized until they can no longer hear their own intuition underneath someone else’s voice. This is where a lot of women quietly begin abandoning themselves. Slowly. One rationalization at a time.

Many women were trained to offer their bodies before learning how to discern predatory emotional behavior. Not during sex. After.

After he leaves. After the mixed signals and emotional withdrawal. After she realizes she offered access hoping proximity would eventually turn into care.

This is why some women feel shame after intimacy they technically consented to. Not because the sex was shameful, but because she knows she bypassed herself to receive it.She ignored the tension. Ignored the lack of safety. Ignored the instability. And the body remembers every moment the woman betrays herself for temporary connection.

Some women are still sleeping with men while secretly grieving themselves in real time. Performing empowerment while privately feeling emotionally dismembered afterward.

Discernment matters. Not from shame, but from self-protection and self-respect.

The body is not merely flesh. It is memory. It is pattern recognition. It is biological intelligence. There are so many women are suffering because they learned how to share their bodies before they learned how to protect their nervous system.

Appearing empowered and being psychologically protected are not the same thing. One attracts attention. The other preserves the soul. Without ever being taught erotic discernment. So now many women know how to attract attention… but not how to protect themselves from psychological consumption.

Every person you allow access to your body leaves something behind: a memory, an imprint, a wound, a distortion, or a lesson. Some women are walking around calling themselves “healed” while still carrying the emotional fingerprints of men who mishandled them years ago.

Their nervous system still trembles at inconsistency. It still collapses under withdrawal. It still performs detachment while secretly starving for emotional safety.

Too many voices entered the body before discernment did. Too many women learned how to seduce men before they learned how to identify emotional predators.

The female body is not weak because it remembers. It is intelligent because it does. The women who survive this era emotionally intact will not be the women who mastered seduction. They will be the women who mastered discernment.

They will be the women who understood that discernment is erotic too.

There is nothing more dangerous than a woman who finally realizes: not every man who desires her deserves to experience her. The body is not a performance or a marketplace for temporary relief. It is an altar. And not every man who is hungry deserves to eat there.

Sex is a medium. Not just an act. And the body has always known that… even when culture tried to convince women otherwise.

Psychobiology Notes + Further Reading

The female body is not “dramatic” for remembering intimacy. There is biology underneath attachment. Research in attachment theory, neurobiology, and trauma studies has shown that intimacy creates measurable nervous system imprinting.

• Oxytocin and pair bonding: Increases during touch and emotional closeness. It plays a role in attachment formation, trust, and social bonding.

• Dopamine and intermittent reinforcement: Inconsistent affection can intensify attachment responses and compulsive thinking.

• Attachment theory: Influences how intimacy, abandonment, and connection are experienced within the body.

• Somatic memory: The body can retain physiological responses long after conscious thought attempts to “move on.”

• Limbic system imprinting: Plays a central role in emotional processing and survival responses.

Suggested Researchers / Frameworks

• John Bowlby & Mary Ainsworth — Attachment Theory

• Bessel van der Kolk — The Body Keeps the Score

• Helen Fisher — Neurobiology of Love & Attachment

• Bruce Lipton — Biology of Belief

• Gabor Maté — Trauma, Attachment, Emotional Conditioning

• Sue Johnson — Attachment + Adult Relationships

• Stephen Porges — Polyvagal Theory

• Robert Sapolsky — Stress Physiology & Human Behavior

The body is not irrational for remembering what altered it emotionally. It is biological. And many women have spent years pathologizing responses that were actually intelligent nervous system reactions.

Despite what many may believe…I don’t hate marriage. I hate what it usually does to women like me. If I’m being honest, the idea of being married again doesn’t excite me. It doesn’t soften me. It doesn’t awaken anything in me.

It bores me.

Subscribe now

Not because I’m cold. Not because I’m incapable of love, but because I’ve seen what most marriages require. Containment without expansion. Consistency without elevation. Proximity without transformation.

And I refuse to sign my name to a life that stabilizes me at a level I’ve already outgrown.

Most women won’t say this out loud even though they know I’m telling the truth about how they in constant performance mode. They perform gratitude. They perform devotion. They perform partnership.

All of this while quietly grieving the version of themselves they had to dim to keep it and no one calls it grief… because it looks like success or at least it should be the eyes of most men.

I’ve already been the woman who adapts.

I remember shrinking what I desired sexually… so I wouldn’t give the appearance of being a whore. I remember choosing silence over honesty because it felt safer to be digestible than to be fully expressed. I remember feeling my body tighten before I said something real… and deciding not to say it.

That’s what most people call “keeping the peace.”

I call it erosion, because it eats at you until you are no more.

For me I’m not interested in being “chosen” if the cost of that choice is my evolution.

I’m not interested in being loved if that love makes me easier to hold… but harder to become. I’m not interested in being committed to if the commitment locks me into a version of myself that no longer fits.

So no…marriage doesn’t impress me…that carrot does NOT work on me.

Because marriage, by itself, doesn’t make a woman better.

A ring is just a circle…perfect for keeping things contained. A last name can feel like legacy or like a quiet erasure you agreed to politely. A shared home can look like stability… while slowly becoming a place where your sharpness has nowhere to go.

What refines you is the man. What sharpens you is the dynamic. What expands you is the structure you’re living inside.

And most people never question the structure. They only chase the damn status.

You want to marry me, love? Really now?

Then answer what most men never think to ask: What will I become inside of YOU?

Will I think deeper? Move cleaner? Feel safer in my body? Speak with more precision? Hold myself to a higher standard because of how you hold yourself?

Or

Will I start second-guessing thoughts that used to come naturally? Will I hesitate before speaking…not because I’m unsure, but because I’m calculating your reaction?

Will I feel myself becoming easier to handle… and harder to respect?

Will I slowly start negotiating with my own power so you don’t feel challenged by it?

Because I’ve already been that woman and it would be easier to want less. It would be easier to call stability enough. It would be easier to choose a man who doesn’t require this level of discernment.

But easy has never made me respect myself.

If I ever marry again… It won’t be just because I want a partner.

It will be because I’ve encountered a man whose presence restructures me. Not through control. Not through pressure. Not through performance. This will be done through the way he lives. The way he leads himself. The way he holds reality without flinching.

So no……I don’t miss marriage.

I miss the version of it where I would have never had to shrink inside of..

Nobody is telling you not to get married. That would be too simple. The truth is…. you were never warned properly. You were shown a sequence.

Love. Ring. Wedding. Child. A clean progression.

But what you were not shown was what it would take from you.

You were taught to romanticize permanence. To believe that if the feeling is strong enough, the structure will hold, but marriage is not held by feeling. It is held by capacity. And capacity is not distributed equally.

Not sure of your capacity? Take this free diagnostic it will help you see your current capacity levels.

There is a secret mirror you’re quietly avoiding……Look at your life closely. Not what you say…. what you live.

Answering when you want space because silence feels like risk. Holding emotional stability for two people. Adjusting your tone so nothing escalates. Being chosen, without being fully met.

You call this maturity, but this is already labor.And if this is how you relate now…. you are not preparing for marriage. You are already practicing it.

The Uneven Exchange

Marriage stabilizes men. That is pattern, not opinion.

Men in marriages consistently show improved health outcomes and longer lifespans. Women? The return is not equal. Research consistently shows married individuals are healthier overall, but men tend to receive more health benefits from marriage than women (read here)

And women? Women show greater physiological stress responses within relationships (read here). Because what marriage gives him in structure….it often requires from you in emotional labor (soul tax)

And then you add motherhood (doubles soul tax)……

The body is the first thing you spend….Pregnancy (triple soul tax) is not aesthetic. It is biological restructuring. Increased cardiovascular demand. Hormonal rewiring. Nutrient redistribution. Nervous system adaptation.

Your body does not return. It adapts.

The Secret Part That Remains

During pregnancy, cells from the fetus move into your body. They embed into tissue. They remain for decades. This is known as fetal microchimerism. Those cells carry genetic material from both you and the father. Male DNA linked to prior pregnancy has been found in female brain tissue, specifically in over 60% of cases examined (read more)

Your body does not forget what it carried. It keeps record.

If you enter something this permanent without seeing this clearly… you do not just become a wife. You become the woman who carries more than she was ever meant to. Quietly. Consistently. Without being met at the depth she requires and because you are capable, you will survive it.

But survival was never the promise.

Men see a baddie, we think “ Ima get her pregnant”…that’s what men think… I would’ve a baby by that.- The Game on Drop The Lo Podcast (full clip here)….

(Credit:@womenwhoinspireusa on tiktok)

Not… what type of mother would she be? Not “is she sane?” Not “I wonder what my lineage would gain from her teachings?” Just by looking at her, he gathered: “I’ma get her pregnant.” This is the language of the untamed man….the one who has yet to rise above his carnal nature. Sure, for the most part, we all intrinsically enjoy the rawest form of sex outside of the spiritual and scientific reasons. However, not all of us are ruled by that part of ourselves. Those who are not understand the detrimental….even deadly consequences of being loose with your seed and your sexual energy.

Blessings and curses reside in the womb.

What you’re witnessing is not a disagreement. It’s not “concern.” It’s not a joke. It is an ancient social reflex wearing modern language. This has never been about a woman simply having freedom; it is about what her freedom activates in people who learned how to survive by killing their own.

The Predator’s Logic: Hunting the High-Frequency

We have to speak to the nature of the untamed man. He is a predator of spirit. He does not go after his own kind…the broken or the already-contained. He seeks to pin down the freest bird. To him, your vibrancy is an affront. He sees your joy, your mobility, and your self-governance as a challenge to be conquered. He doesn’t want to join you in that freedom; he wants to put you down like a neutered bitch. He views your “untouchable” energy as a resource to be harvested, drained, and then extinguished, ensuring you never fly high enough to look down on him again. The Untamed men want the trophy of your broken spirit on his wall.

This can result in The Biological “Death” of the Muse

When these men use language like “I’m gonna ruin her summer” or “I will leave it all the way in,”in response to your essence whether you or twerking or minding you won business reading a book….. they are not talking about sex. They are talking about conquering almost like a vampire bite or a dog pissing on a tree. They believe they have to mark you….

This is a form of biological colonization. The untamed man doesn’t care and he actively avoids realizing….that pregnancy is often a move closer to death for you as woman, both physically and identity-wise. He knows, perhaps only instinctually, that pregnancy triggers a permanent neurological overhaul. It is a chemical hijacking that shifts a woman’s brain chemistry, forcing her focus away from her own sovereignty and onto survival.

This is the ultimate “taming.” It is the attempt to take a woman who exists for herself and turn her into a vessel that exists for his lineage. It is conquest psychology disguised as desire. He wants you tethered, slowed, and chemically altered so you can no longer out-move or out-choose him. These types want to watch your fire go out so he can feel “warm” by the embers.

The Faux Fairy Tale and the Shadow

You cannot protect your life force energy if you refuse to face the truth of your shadows. Most women are wandering through a “faux fairy tale,” a sedative that tells them if they are “good” or “nice” or “valuable,” they will be spared.

They will not spare you. Protection requires you to rise above the narrative and see the world for its raw power dynamics. If you won’t look at the darkness, the predatory nature of the untamed and the envious policing of the tamed…..you leave your energy unguarded. You must become as dangerous as the things you are protecting yourself from.

The Vampirism of the Settled

There is a second, equally dangerous psychology at play: the women who have already settled. They aren’t reacting to you; they are reacting to the Grief of their own surrender.

They were raised on a survival script of sacrifice and duty. When they see a woman who says, “I choose pleasure, I choose my own standards, I choose to be seen,” it acts as a mirror to their own self-betrayal.

• If you are right, then they were wrong.

• If you are allowed to be free, then their “virtuous” sacrifice was just a slow-motion suicide.

They will try to pull you back into the crab bucket. They turn their sacrifice into a weapon, calling you “reckless” or “attention-seeking” because your existence makes their cage feel smaller. They don’t want to save you; they want to justify their own containment.

READ THIS SLOWLY: Sovereignty is a Blood Sport

This is the real divide. It isn’t married vs. single or modest vs. sexy. It is Women who live from fear vs. Women who live from sovereignty.

A sovereign woman understands that her beauty is leverage and her joy is currency. She does not ask for permission to exist, and she does not perform “goodness” for the sake of safety. She has integrated her shadow….she knows she is the predator and the prey, the creator and the destroyer.

She understands that once you see the predator and the cage, the fairy tale dies. And she lets it die. Because on the other side of that dead illusion is her actual power. They can’t pin the sky. They can only scream at it while it burns.

Sealing this with deep devotion,

I was recently having a conversation with a close friend about the “ultra-favor” of having a tribe where I can rest, relax and not have to worry about anything. There is a sacred luxury in having people in your circle who allow you to descend from the watchtower because they are already holding the perimeter.

It made me think about a phrase I hear from countless women: “I just want a man I can turn my brain off with.”

When I hear that, I realize she is simply exhausted from hyper-vigilance and responsibility. What she is seeking is relief.This isn’t inherently a bad thing, but the problem comes into play because these women usually desire to be rescued by men and absolved of all responsibility. This is what many women see as freedom: the ability to roam as she pleases while the last name she bears carries the entire weight of the responsibility for her freedom.

And this is the very reason women find themselves in an invisible cage wrapped in the cloak called marriage. When you ask a man to be your relief, you are often handing him the keys to your autonomy. You cannot outsource the burden of your life without also outsourcing the power over it.

Marriage is for the Grown

This isn’t a dig to marriage. Marriage is honorable, holy, and a wealth-building tool, but it is for the grown, not those seeking relief. If you are looking for a sanctuary to hide from the demands of being an adult, you aren’t looking for a partner; you’re looking for a caretaker.

The relief you seek is in the community you refuse to build. Do you not realize that back in the day, the village raising children consisted of women? Yet you abandon your village the minute your vagina gets wet. You trade a fortified network of support for a single point of failure, then wonder why the exhaustion eventually returns to claim you.

Stewardship of the Shadow

Hyper-vigilance and Relief are gifts when you are tapped into your dark feminine. The dark feminine understands that protection isn’t just about someone else’s muscles; it’s about your own cold-blooded discernment. Properly stewarded, these things can save or improve your quality of life. Your hyper-vigilance becomes intuition; your need for relief becomes strategic rest. What you seek isn’t the problem making men responsible for it is where you got the game wrong.

The Power of the Board

Make no mistake: this isn’t about diminishing the man. It is about honoring the role. A King is most effective when his Queen is a high-functioning, strategic player….not when she is a liability begging for reprieve. A true King has no desire to manage a woman who has checked out; he wants to build an empire alongside a woman who is already a master of her own board.

And FYI…..The Game has always been Chess

The game of life is chess, and it is a long game.

Most women are playing checkers….reacting to the move right in front of them, scrambling, and being so exhausted by it that they beg men for relief.

I am telling you: Learn to play chess.

Learn how to position yourself as the Queen, the most lethal and versatile piece on the board. She never abdicates her power to the King; she uses her range to protect the vision. Understand the role of the King as the anchor, and learn how to use the Rook, Bishop, and Pawn (your resources, your tribe, and your daily moves) to win the game of life instead of being a captive looking for a cage.

Stop asking to turn your brain off. Start using it to win, but first you must face your attachment issue.

There was a time when being called a whore could get a woman stoned to death.
Now it gets her a brand deal.

We keep calling this liberation. But I call it liquidation.

Because somewhere between purity culture and pornification, we started confusing sensuality with strategy and self-worth with visibility.

And no one talks about the whiplash of it.

One day you were scared to let him see your thighs.
The next day, you’re contouring your nipples for likes.

You weren’t eased into it. You were programmed into it.
And then shamed for asking,“Is this really freedom?”

Let’s not pretend this happened overnight. We were ushered in, not awakened.

The Timeline of Erotic Programming

1950s–60s: The Chaste Broadcast Era
Married couples on TV had separate twin beds.
Women were praised for modesty, shamed for curiosity.
Sensuality was “sin.” Silence was “grace.”

1970s–80s: The Suggestive Era Begins
Commercials began using innuendo.
Playboy entered the mainstream.
Music videos added skin. Sitcoms made “boob jokes.”
Feminine power = flirtation.

1990s–2000s: The Soft-Core Normalization
Pole dancing = empowerment.
Victoria’s Secret = confidence.
Skin was still controversial, but now it was strategic.
Justin Timberlake’s Super Bowl = scandal and spectacle.

2010s: The Performance Era
Instagram = your body as branding.
Feminism was repackaged as “freedom to perform.”
Twerking became currency. Stripping became a storyline.
Every music video taught: “Visibility is value.”

2020s: The Siphon
OnlyFans is a career option.
The babies know the phrase “sex sells” before they know their worth.
Porn is in cartoons. And we’re told if we question it, we’re ashamed, broken, or boring.

Let’s talk about The Upgrades (The Slow Degradation):

Phase 1: The Suggestive Era
They loosened the leash. Gave us innuendos. Said a little cleavage wouldn’t hurt. Cartoons started giggling at “boob” jokes. Music videos introduced skin as story. We thought it was harmless.

Phase 2: The “Empowerment” Rebrand
Suddenly pole dancing was fitness which I aint mad at by the way. Thirst traps were confidence. Stripper heels were “self-expression.” We weren’t supposed to question it or else we were prudes, pick-me’s, or secretly jealous.

Phase 3: The Full-Blown Siphon
Now there’s porn on the timeline. Sex scenes in cartoons.
Children learning “OnlyFans” as a viable career option.
And entire generations being told: “Your body is your brand. Make it count.”
And maybe the wildest part? We were grateful…instead of grossed out.

And here’s what most won’t say, but I will:

I played both roles. I covered my body in church, then uncovered it for validation.
I know what it’s like to be both unseen and consumed.

What Erotic Energy Was Meant For (Before They Turned It Into a Billboard):

1. Creation, not consumption:Your sensuality was meant to create life, not content.To bring forth beauty, innovation, and desire with direction, not dopamine loops or performance reels.

• Your body was designed to multiply, not be monetized.
  And I go deeper into this in my letter:“Ovulation Is Opportunity: How to Use Your Fertile Phase to Build Cashflow, Not Chase Connection” Because your most magnetic hormonal window was never meant for men. It was meant for multiplication.

2. Communication with the Divine: This energy is primal because it’s portal energy. It connects you to The Creator, to your source, to your design. The body was never the point… it was the instrument of communion.

3. Devotional Presence: Erotic energy awakens aliveness, not for performance, but for presence. For full-bodied embodiment. For being here, deeply and divinely.

4. Discernment of Alignment: Your body’s signals were never just lust or longing they were designed to guide you. To signal misalignment. To say “yes” with sovereignty and “no” without shame.

5. Restoration of the Feminine Nervous System: Sensual energy is not chaos. It is regulating. It is the balm to a hardened world. When it’s safe and sacred, it re-patterns trauma… not reenacts it.

6. Sacred Containment & Magnetic Power: It was never meant to be leaked. It was meant to be held. Contained power radiates. Scattered power performs. One draws legacy. The other draws likes

You didn’t misread the room, the room was rigged.
You didn’t fail at liberation, you were never given a map.
But now you know. And that’s where real power begins.

This was never just sexual energy. It was sacred breath from the Creator designed to bring forth life, not lose it chasing validation.

I’m not anti-sensuality. I’m anti-siphoning.
Your body is not a billboard.
Your beauty is not a payment plan.
Your sensuality is not a sales funnel.
Your identity is not a clickbait costume.
Your body is not for sale. And it never was.

This letter is a mirror. The next one is the strategy. This is the reckoning of the FreQy Girl. The one who realized: You can be naked and still not be known. You can be praised and still not be powerful. You can be touched and still not be felt.

The lie wasn’t that you wanted to be seen. The lie was that you had to be undressed to matter.

You keep calling it chemistry. I call it crisis. Because the moment it gets quiet, you start sexting ghosts and baiting men with Instagram stories just to remember what your body feels like when it’s wanted.

You don’t even want him.

You want to be remembered.

You want to be felt.

You want to matter.

You want the pulse of something.

So you go chasing it in text threads, attention highs and tension you can’t name. Because if it buzzes, it must be alive, right?

Right?

But here’s the part that nobody says out loud:

You’re not even turned on. You’re triggered. You’ve confused survival chemistry with sacred connection.You’ve mistaken that ache between your legs for your power, when it’s actually your nervous system flinching from emotional dehydration.

Because nothing else is touching you.

Not your friendships.

Not your food.

Not your faith.

Not even your own fingers when the lights are off. So you weaponize your sensuality like a flare gun in the dark, hoping someone…hell.. anyone sees the smoke and comes save you from yourself.

You learned to perform before you ever learned to feel safe being held.

And when they don’t?

You rinse. You repeat. You call it a “hoe” phase.

But it’s not a phase. It’s a pattern.

You’ve become addicted to the electricity of being perceived. Because when no one’s watching you disappear. You post thirst traps you can’t explain to your spirit. You entertain men who couldn’t reach your heart if you mailed them a damn map.

You romanticize the one who touched you below your waist but never saw your worth.

And the worst part?

You know it. You’re not naïve. You’re neglected.

You seduce to survive… then resent who you become to be chosen.

By yourself.

Because it’s easier to be wanted than to admit you’ve been self-abandoning in sexy packaging.

The performance is polished. But your body is tired. Your skin is glowing, but your eyes still whisper:

“Please… see me.”

Not sexually. Not lustfully.

Not in awe of the angle or the arch.

But see me…as someone who was never meant to perform to feel safe.

See me as sacred.

Not swipeable.

You think you’re igniting desire. You’re actually leaking life force.

There’s a difference between seduction and self-sacrifice.

There’s a difference between sensual power and erotic performance.

There’s a difference between being turned on and being haunted by your own hunger.

But no one told you that. Because they were too busy teaching you to monetize your magnetism before you ever learned to make it feel safe inside your own damn body.

You believe it the sexting. You actually need to stop surrendering to starvation.

That vibrator detox aint working because you need emotional resuscitation.

You don’t need to fast from touch. You need to fast from your own fragmentation.

Because the version of you that keeps calling in “passion” is actually calling for permission.

To stop. To exhale.

To ask yourself: “What if my turn-on isn’t supposed to rescue me, but return me to myself?”

🖤

And if that letter cut deep, it was meant to.
Because nothing about your softness was ever meant to be spent on stage.
And nothing about your sensuality was ever meant to be sold to survive.

You weren’t born to prove.
You were born to provoke.

I’m Marlie Monreaux.
I don’t water it down.
I don’t wait for permission.
And I damn sure don’t beg to be witnessed.

You don’t get to inspire the world and then quietly bleed out behind the curtain.

You don’t get to give God-level guidance in the group chat and then sit in a room begging crumbs from a man who can’t hold your name, let alone your power.

You don’t get to teach embodiment while disappearing from your own.

You say you’re the muse.
But every time he withdraws attention, you shapeshift.
Every time a woman questions your worth, you overperform.
Every time life asks you to create, you choose to cope.

That’s not muse behavior.
That’s martyrdom wrapped in a soft brand color.

And you’ve glamorized it.

You keep asking why your manifestations stall.
Why the peace doesn’t last.
Why the audience claps, but your body feels like a grave.

It’s because you never left the altar.
You just changed what you were sacrificing.

You left the job to start your business. You left the man. You even left the city.
But you kept the pattern.

You’re still worshiping at the feet of other people’s needs,
Offering your time, your nervous system, your softness
To anyone who might approve of you today.

You think that’s power?
You think that’s divine?

It’s delusion.
And it’s killing your creativity.

There is no glory in being everyone’s safe space if you are your own war zone.

There is no badge for being the woman who held it all together if the cost was yourself.

You’re not misunderstood.
You’re mis-prioritized.
By your own damn self.

You’ll break every generational curse except the one that says
“I don’t get to choose me until everyone else is okay.”

You’ll teach boundaries, but you’ll overextend.
You’ll whisper about abundance, but still hoard your own needs.
You’ll tell your clients to rest, but run on anxiety and caffeine.

This isn’t wisdom. This is identity fraud.

The world doesn’t need another woman who knows the language of healing but still clings to her performance mask like it’s a birthright.

We’ve seen enough of that.

What we haven’t seen…
is the woman who refuses to suffer to feel real.
The woman who throws down the cape.
Who renounces survival.
Who doesn’t need a trauma testimonial to justify her success.

The woman who doesn’t wait for collapse to give herself permission to rest.

The woman who builds from overflow, not obligation.

She’s rare.

But she’s you…once you stop seducing yourself with struggle.

Let’s call it what it is.

You’ve been using your suffering.
To feel valuable. To feel humble.
To feel like you earned the softness.

You believe your pain proves your worth.
That being chosen after being crucified makes you more holy.

But what if it’s just a performance kink?
What if your loyalty to the pain is the reason you can’t hold the promise?

What if no one’s oppressing you anymore, but you’re addicted to the high of being the one who overcame?

You do not get to be the Muse and the Martyr.

You must choose: Creation… or suffering.

Because the woman who suffers for love, for business, for “God”… is no longer seductive.

She’s tired.
She’s controlling.
She’s scared of her own ease.

And if you’re honest

You haven’t created something for you in a long time.
You’re a showroom. A resume. A redemption story.
But where is your sanctuary?

Where do you go when the applause dies and the performance ends?

This is it. This is the sanctuary.
Where your identity gets stripped clean.

Where you stop worshiping survival. Where you remember that your power didn’t come from the pain. It came from what you chose after it.

So stop lying.

Stop saying it’s alignment when it’s anxiety.
Stop saying it’s discernment when it’s fear.
Stop saying it’s peace when you’re really just emotionally numbing.

Be real with yourself.

You do not get to be the Muse and the Martyr.

Because the true Muse…
She doesn’t sacrifice herself for inspiration.

She becomes the standard.
She births the blueprint.
She doesn’t beg for peace… she anchors it.

Let the performance die.

And let your real power begin.

They ask if I’m a feminist.
I find it amusing.

Because if you truly listened… if you watched how I move, how I speak, how I honor order instead of ego…you’d know I’m not rebelling against men. I’m remembering The Most High God.

It’s in the nature of people to label what they don’t understand.
To name what they fear.
To reduce what they can’t replicate.

Once, they called women witches not because we cast spells, but because we carried a divine sensitivity too threatening to control.Between 1450 and 1750, across Europe, roughly 40 000 to 50 000 people were executed for witchcraft.

About three-quarters were women, many of them healers, midwives, and devout believers. (gendercide.org European Witch-Hunts 1450–1750]). In the Vardø witch trials of 1662–1663 in Norway, 18 women were burned alive.(Vardø Witch Trials])

These were not pagans.They were women of prayer, discernment, and obedience punished for embodying a power that came from The Creator of All Things.

The Label and the Fear

A woman walks in divine order, refuses to perform for chaos, refuses to call disorder love and they need to name her something.

Witch.
Feminist.
Difficult.
Intimidating.

But I’m none of those things. I’m a believer.

And it’s very evident in my restraint, my reverence, my rhythm.
I move by Law, not by lust for validation.
I build by Spirit, not survival.
And yet you call me another name because my obedience doesn’t look like submission to you.

(I love a good dirty mirror pic FYI )

You call me a feminist because I’m free, but I’m not fighting men….I’m aligned with the divine masculine within and around me. You call me rebellious, but what you sense is righteous resistance… my refusal to bow to disorder. You call me intimidating, but what you really feel is conviction.

And understand this:
I love men.
I honor the masculine when it is holy.

Those are thee ONLY men make this kitty purrrrr..

I commune only with men who move from power, not ego men who dismantle and rebuild systems with integrity, not the ones who use women as scaffolding for their success.

I do not submit to men who make decisions with their dicks.
I stand beside men who make decisions from divine discernment.

My respect is earned in the way a man orders his house, protects his peace, and governs his impulses.
If you cannot master yourself, you cannot master communion with me.

The Fire That Named Me

So when you ask if I’m a feminist, I smile and say

“No. I’m the woman you tried to burn for her discernment.
The voice you silenced for her knowing.
The flame you couldn’t extinguish because it came from God.”

You don’t have to understand it. You just have to stop naming it.

Because every label has been a leash.
“Witch.” “Feminist.” “Strong.” “Independent.”
Titles meant to manage women who could no longer be mastered.

Every word they’ve used to contain us became the evidence of their fear.
Every misname, a map of how far we’ve evolved beyond their comprehension.

Because every time you try to define me through your limitation,
you reveal your fear of what is infinite.

Embodied Faith

And my faith, my sensuality, my restraint, my fire is infinite.
It cannot be reasoned with, reduced, or renamed.

I don’t weaponize my body. I worship through it.
Every breath is an altar. Every “no” is sacred language.
My softness is not surrender, it’s strategy.
My curves, my cadence, my quiet, all instruments of divine communication.

I carry the memory of women who prayed under their breath while smoke filled the air.
I speak in the tongue of grandmothers who never had language for liberation, only hymns. Their blood bought me this right to discern, to refuse, to rise.
I am not new power.
I am remembered power.

I am not a feminist. I am the evidence that a woman can be powerful, sensual, and surrendered, all at once.

And no matter what name you give me, The Most High still calls me His.

So now I ask you What name did the world give you when you finally chose obedience over approval? And will you keep wearing it… or will you burn it off like incense,
until only your anointing remains?

Now Ask yourself?

• Where have you been mislabeled for walking in divine authority?

• Who has mistaken your discernment for defiance?

• What label have you outgrown that still clings to your brilliance?

If this letter stirred the flame of remembrance in you, enter The Black Sanctum Vault.
It is not a refuge for the performative it is a resurrection for the powerful.
Join the chamber. Reclaim the name.

You want to know the truth? Most of these women don’t even like women. They say “I support women,” but they mean only the ones they don’t secretly want to be. They call it “sisterhood,” but they really mean a silent agreement to pretend we’re not competing for scraps.

And if we’re being honest…. Women don’t betray other women over men. They betray other women over themselves. Over the shame they haven’t healed. Over the beauty they don’t believe they have. Over the power they abandoned to be picked.

The “girls’ girl” myth needs to die… Because the truth is some of y’all been trying to be men’s muses and women’s monsters.

Let’s really talk about it.

They hate you because you didn’t have to pop or expose your cat to get his attention or his money. Because your name still comes out of his mouth and your clothes stayed on.

Subscribe now

They hate you because you said no when they said “whatever you want daddy.” Because your standards cut what they called love in half. Because while they became everything he wanted, you became unforgettable without touching your morals.

You didn’t alter your core, so they altered their loyalty.

The same ones who whispered to you, “Girl how do you get men to respect you?” are the same weak-heauxs dragging your name in group chats, bitter that you became the woman they’re still trying to pretend to be.

They ask for your grace in private and rehearse your destruction in digital covens. They don’t want your mentorship. They want your mask…. so they can wear it better.

Here’s what I told my baby sister recently: Use your beauty, your brilliance, your energy, connections and more to build a life of peace you desire. Currency is to be circulated so USE IT! Let the bitter ones bark. They’re going to hate you anyway and it’s not because of what you do, but because of what they think you have access to.

And don’t you ever dull your light for the women who dimmed theirs for male validation. Those same women will shapeshift for his attention will slit your throat the minute you get the affection they desperately crave..

Because most of these women don’t compete for betterment. They compete for pipe.

Not legacy. Not peace. Not power.Just the illusion of being chosen.
They find value in the male gaze even though it doesn’t extend your life (time), doesn’t expand your energy, doesn’t sharpen your focus (attention), and it sure as hell doesn’t deposit (money) into your bank account.

To compete over something that adds no true value?
That’s not even womanhood. That’s true inner warfare.
And it reveals a deeper identity rupture

Because here’s what nobody wants to admit: A woman who would cross herself will always be willing to cross another woman. Especially if he smells like power.

And some of you reek.

• You reek of the men who used your body as a place to unload their unworthiness.

• The scent of rotting masculinity is still lodged in your throat… still leaking from between your legs.

• Still buried in the parts of you that pretend it was love when it was just a performance.

You think he gave you value? No. You traded your knowing for his validation.

And it was a bad deal.

Because now, all you have to show for your disloyalty is a damp cat and a dry life.But you want to talk about sisterhood? You want a safe circle when your very presence has been a poison to every real one you entered?

No, baby. You don’t want sisterhood.
You want submission… from the women who make you feel small.
Which is really a warped perception.
Because no one can make you feel anything.
You already believe you are small.
So when you’re surrounded by women who believe themselves to be BIG,
your illusion of inadequacy doesn’t just echo… it screams.
And that’s when you bite.
Not because they harmed you.
But because their wholeness confronted the parts of you you’ve yet to claim.

Let’s stop pretending this world is full of girls’ girls. Because if that were true, men wouldn’t have anyone to cheat with.

But they do. They always do. And it’s not random. It’s her. The one who smiles at your child. The one who reposts soft life quotes. The one who asks you for advice about men… and still opens her legs for yours.

A woman who will betray herself for a man’s attention will never protect another woman’s peace. That ain’t a girls’ girl. That’s a pretty little Judas in pink.

The girls’ girl idea is a fantasy manufactured to guilt real women into loyalty while the pick-mes rehearse betrayal in their mirrors.

The truth is: Most women are so peen-drunk they’ve mistaken competition for community.

You think because you brunch together you wouldn’t gut each other over the same man? You think because you light candles for your womb and sit in cacao ceremony you’re not still praying for his attention in secret?

Again I say, a woman who will betray herself for a man’s attention will never protect another woman’s peace. (READ IT A THIRD TIME IF YOU NEED TO)

Every woman doesn’t deserve your sisterhood. But every woman should know this: A woman who sells herself out for scraps will always cut your throat over crumbs.

So if you smell something sour check the woman who’s too close, too sweet, and too available.

Sometimes, the loudest girls’ girl is the quietest op.

Let the myth die. Let these fake “girls’ girls” choke on the standards they never set for themselves. Because if a woman can’t be loyal to her own becoming, what makes you think she’ll ever be loyal to yours?

Let it rot. And rise anyway.

Hi, I’m Marlie Monreaux and I’m not a girls’ girl.
Not if “girl’s girl” means staying silent while she destroys you with a smile.
Not if it means mistaking performance for protection.
Not if it means pretending sisterhood still exists in a world where betrayal wears blush.

I believe in loyalty, not lip gloss. I believe in truth, not trauma bonding.
And I believe it’s time we stop pretending that all women are safe just because they’re soft.

Because I’ve seen it.The pretty ones. The poetic ones.
The ones who whisper “I’d never hurt you” while undressing for the man who swore he loved you.

So no…
I’m not a girls’ girl. I’m a grown woman who stopped confusing femininity with innocence and started protecting herself like no one else will.

Let that fake myth die

Penetration is not presence.
And climax is not communion.

I wish someone had told me that before I started mistaking “open legs” for “open heart”…before I was taught that allowing him in meant I’d finally be seen.

Because I let him in….I let him.

Not because I was naïve, but because somewhere, I still believed if I gave him access, maybe he’d give me honor. If I gave him a temple, maybe he’d treat me like sacred ground.

So I let him taste me.
I let him pray between my thighs like they were altars.
I let him call it “worship” when it was really hunger wrapped in performance.

And when it was over?

A woman who is unforgettable is rarely held.
She is studied. Lusted for. Admired.
And then… unclaimed.

Because to claim her
Would require confronting the illusion:
That access is not intimacy.
That closeness is not care.
That wanting her is not the same as witnessing her.

You’ve lived in spaces that pretended to protect you.
You’ve sat in churches that praised your “virtue” while praying your fire would dim.
You’ve led rooms full of people who adored your leadership.But feared your voice.
You’ve laid next to lovers who moaned your name…And still mispronounced your soul.

The cost of being unforgettable isn’t fame. It’s loneliness.

Because when you are a woman of presence, People don’t see your personhood.
They see their own desire…Projected. Worshiped. Then discarded.

And yet
Your power doesn’t exist to entertain their insecurity.
Your memory isn’t a punishment.
It’s a mirror.

And you?
You’re not here to be palatable.You’re here to be prophetic.

It never starts the way you think.

Will she fold?
Will she hush?
Will she let me take without ever having to be present?

That’s the game.
The one nobody names.

You thought he wanted your body.
But what he really wanted was your compliance.
Your mouth open, but not speaking.
Your legs parted, but not deciding.
Your eyes locked on him, but not looking too closely.

Because bodies are easy.
Boundaries aren’t.

Don’t let the erection fool you. Most men aren’t aroused… they’re entitled. And here’s what you need to know

Every woman they couldn’t control became a prophecy they couldn’t silence. And every prophecy they couldn’t silence? They named her whore.

Not because she was dirty.
Because she was dangerous.

Because she saw.
Because she knew.
Because she refused to kneel and pretend it wasn’t happening.

You weren’t dangerous because of your sex.
You were dangerous because of your sight.

You saw the lie, but you still walked in the room.You saw the trap, but you still played the part, until you could pay for your own exit. You saw the story they were telling about you, but you still wrote your own ending.

That’s the part that haunts them.
Not the body.
Not the moan.
Not even the refusal.

But the knowing.

They didn’t banish you because you were too loud.
They silenced you because your silence echoed with accuracy.

And every man who ever tasted your truth mistook the fire for favor.
He didn’t know your body was never the gift.
It was the test.

They tried to humble you because they couldn’t hold you.
They tried to rename you because they couldn’t reclaim you.
They called you dangerous because you stopped being easy.

But you know what’s true now, don’t you?

You didn’t ruin anything. You revealed it.

You didn’t open your legs. You opened a dimension.

A rift in the simulation that showed them who they weren’t.
A sacred mirror no ego could survive.

They called it seduction, but it was spiritual.
And every time you walked away?
That was the sermon.

Your erotic wasn’t promiscuous.
It was prophetic.
That’s why they panicked.

Because when you stand in your own heat, their shadows start to sweat.
Because when you move with your own knowing, their egos start to crumble.

You weren’t the whore.
You were the exit door.
The crack in the system.
The leak in the lie.

The living evidence that a woman can stop performing and still be desired, but never owned. That’s why they tried to humble you. Because you walked away before they finished feeding. Because you became a warning they couldn’t unsee.

They couldn’t hold her, so they tried to humble her.

But the truth is, she didn’t need to be held.
She needed to be heard. And she still speaks through you.

You are not here to be chosen.
You are here to be known.

And the moment you stop apologizing for your discernment,
the world starts to call you names:
Slut. Whore. Jezebel. Problem.

But what they’re really saying is:
“You slipped through the net we cast to catch women who forget their power.”

You slipped through. And now? You’re free.

You thought they wanted your body.
But they only wanted your obedience.

The next letter exposes the real transaction.
Not the one written on your skin, but the one etched in your silence.

Up Next: File 02 – “He Didn’t Want My Body… He Wanted My Obedience”

The letter you’ve screamed in your head but never said out loud.

Just like they paid for everything but your truth, the next 4 letters are pay-to-enter.

Hi, I’m Marlie Monreaux.
Not your redemption arc.
Not your sacred whore fantasy.
Not your soft place to land.

I’m the mirror you mistook for a window.
And I don’t exist to make you comfortable.

If you’ve ever been called “too much,” “too raw,” “too cold,” or “too unforgettable to trust” then you already know the kind of woman I write for.

This corner isn’t quiet. It’s just not for voyeurs.

Stay sweet if you want. But if you’re ready to go deeper
Letter 02 lives behind the velvet rope.

You were never just a body.
You were a Black Box the whole time.
Not a riddle to be solved. Not a fantasy to be conquered.
But a vault of remembrance,sealed shut until you chose to rise.

Marlie.

Not with punishment.
Not with performance.
Just with presence
then the absence of it.

I never beg to be seen.
I just leave.
And suddenly, every move I ever made becomes sacred in hindsight.

He’ll say things like:

“You always knew exactly what to say.”
“No one has ever made me feel like that.”
“I didn’t realize how much peace you carried until you weren’t there to hold it.”

That’s how they start to worship.
