I DO NOT want self-driving cars.
I DO NOT want humanoid robots.
I DO NOT want Al in every app I use.

Unfortunately I think maturing as a woman is realising that misogyny is so ingrained in everything and quite literally impossible to avoid. It's in our media, it's in our light hearted conversations. It's in the expectation that your mum will have dinner ready. It's the man staring down your shirt on the train. It's in the jokes you overhear at the pub. It's that one line in your favourite TV show. It's your male relatives sitting down after Christmas dinner. It's the conversation you have with a 'well meaning' man at your hospitality job. We're tragically used to it.
Women grow up learning fear before they even understand desire. Don’t walk alone. Don’t trust too easily. Don’t be too nice. Don’t be too cold. Every move is calculated. Meanwhile, men move freely and call it normal. That imbalance isn’t accidental... it’s built.
