notice how ‘girls mature faster’ is never stated as a reason why girls should be given more positions of power and authority? It only works to hold girls to greater accountability than boys and to justify men’s attraction to them.
a hardest pill to swallow is that people will hurt you. dehumanize you in so many ways and not feel badly about it. they won’t feel a thing actually. they’ll move on with their day, their week, their life, happy as ever but there you are, crushed. loss of appetite. loss of sleep
I just heard someone say “maybe you don’t need more time to heal, maybe you need more experiences that show your nervous system a different realty”
And, yeah.
