I think most women who are homebodies are the girls who grew up on punishment for 6 months at a time or had such a dysfunctional family they stayed in their room majority of the time. As they became an adult it just became normal.
one time years ago I said ‘men are trash’ and my dad got really annoyed by it. my mum had to stop and ask him ‘when you’re warning her not to be out late, to be careful, telling her that it’s not safe etc who are you warning her about? not women’
Ugh. Go back far enough and our Latino ancestors didn’t speak Spanish and they weren’t Catholic either. This attitude is TIRED and maybe some Latinos in the US don’t speak Spanish because their parents were persecuted for doing so. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t, right?
Everybody talks about cutting people off but nobody really talks about the grief that comes with having to stand firm on that decision knowing it’s not what you wanted but what was necessary for your well-being
