I see a lot of men posting how no woman deserves this and I think thatโs sad. Most restaurants would do this for free, at least back then when I did it, it came as a free service. How cheap can you be as a man to even lack the empathy to do something nice and basic for that girl you claim to like?
At a family dinner, my uncle said women were "too weak" for physically demanding jobs. My grandma looked at him and said, "I gave birth without anesthesia. You called an ambulance because of kidney stones." The table went completely silent.
Yโall get what this is, right? Just by touching you with these gloves, cops can literally force your body to involuntarily spasm in a way that looks enough like โresisting arrestโ on a bodycam video to justify beating your brains out & shooting you dead consequence-free
Today, Iโm grateful that my heart still knows how to feel deeply. Iโm grateful for the part of me that still lets people in, still cares, still loves, and still chooses softness in a world that wouldโve understood if I chose armor instead. Iโm grateful for the love Iโm able to give. Iโm grateful for the tenderness, patience, and effort. Iโm grateful for the parts of myself Iโm finding again, and ones I thought I lost somewhere along the way. And Iโm grateful that thereโs still so much life in me, so much left to feel, to give, and to become.
