Nos quitaron las tarjetas de memoria y nos hicieron pagar por almacenamiento. Nos quitaron los CD y DVD y nos hicieron pagar por streaming. Nos quitaron el software que podías comprar una vez y lo convirtieron en una suscripción mensual. Nos quitaron la propiedad, la conveniencia y básicamente todo lo que solía ser una compra única… y luego, de alguna manera, nos hicieron pagar por ello todos los meses.
The biggest lie modern dating culture has sold us is the idea that almost every relationship problem can be fixed with "better communication."
The brutal, highly unpopular reality is that most failing couples do not have a communication problem. You are communicating perfectly. You are stating your needs clearly, and they are hearing you loud and clear. The issue is that you are fundamentally incompatible, and you are using "we need to communicate better" as an absolute coping mechanism to avoid looking at the truth.
We drag out dead-end relationships for years by convincing ourselves that if we just find the perfect combination of words, our partner will finally change their core values to match ours. But no amount of healthy communication can bridge the gap between two people who just want completely different lives. Understanding each other isn't the same as agreeing with each other
everyone wants a village, but no one wants to be a villager
> drive your friends to the airport
> go to their party even when you're tired
> stop cancelling last minute
> host at your place
> support the wins & losses
it's worth every ounce of effort
i find it really fcked up when you have to ask men “what if she was your sister, daughter or mother” in order to make them see women as valuable human beings
Just a quick reminder that the man who "goes to work to support his family" is sacrificing nothing and would still have to work without a family. He'd have more disposable income, sure, but a man who has a family to support has chosen to spend his disposable income on the privilege of having a family. It's an exchange, not a sacrifice, and it's an exchange that heavily favours him because if men had to pay professionals to do the labour their wives are doing, most men couldn't afford it.
Notice how " girls mature faster " is never stated as a reason why girls should be given more positions of power and authority?
It's only works to hold girls to greater accountability than boys and to justify men's attraction to them.
Menopause being ignored entirely. Almost no research, no treatment options, barely trained doctors. Women are told to “just deal with it”.
If menopause happened to men and as a result of it men experienced a drastic reduction in metabolism, muscle loss acceleration, severely dropping bone density, increase in insulin resistance, sudden increased risk of cardiovascular events, depression and mood instability rise, cognitive issues, sleep disruption, etc, we would have had multiple modalities of management and support systems by now.
Menopause makes women invisible overnight. Everything chances and nobody prepares women beforehand or supports us. Women remain unheard, overlooked, dismissed and undervalued.
Dear ladies never forget that: The same world that shames me for being a single mother also shames you for not being a mother and shames another woman for having too many children..lt shames one woman for having a child at the age of 19 because she's too young but also shames another for having at 36 because she's too old..lt shames a woman who marries young as well as the one who marries old..It shames women who don't have beautiful bodies and shames those who go under the knife to get the bodies. This world shames all women, not a single one of us is spared, not a single one. So love and make yourselves happy.
