this isn’t even a hyperbole😭 women are genuinely mutilating their functioning bodies to appease the patriarchy: bbls, nose jobs, foot binding, vaginal cosmetic surgery, to name a few
The young girlies are too brainwashed by the clean girl aesthetic that they're missing out on vital rites of passage. Sleep in your makeup because you're too drunk. Snog someone you don't know in a pub. It's OK you won't die
they mock young girls with depression, eating disorders, self harm behaviors. They demonize women with postpartum psychosis. They sexualize women with autism, adhd and bpd. But the world pretends female mental health is taken seriously..
unlearn shame. all forms of shame: unemployment, illness, vulnerability, longing, desire, errors, failures. you do not need to feel ashamed of what you are experiencing or living. freedom and shame cannot coexist.
Something that always fascinates me as a woman who has suffered from mental health issues my entire life is how men are like “no one cares about men’s mental health.” No one cares about women’s either lol
