Please date sweet men. Please date men who respect you in anger. Please date men who are soft spoken. Please date men who are patient with you. Please date men who respect their own bodies. Please date men that are kind to your soul. Please date men who have self-control
There's a reason men choose not to spend their days raising their kids. It's thankless, relentless, more difficult, more high stakes, and far more stressful than whatever their job is. If parenting was the easier, better, more pleasant option, men wouldn't let women do it.
You might not realize it, but we're part of the first generation of women with the freedom to build lives on our own terms-emotionally, financially, and independently, without needing a husband or children to define us. This level of autonomy is something many of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers never had access to. It's not just progress-it's power. Celebrate it. Own it. You are living a life they only dreamed could be possible.
I just heard a brilliant woman say, “Men don’t know what it means to birth life and are so detached from what it means to create life that they are comfortable taking it.”
Mic drop. Period. No notes.
I wrote about Trump's fantasy of omnipotence and invulnerability crashing against the material reality of a interdependent world. This insane, heedless war will ruin us all. https://t.co/Lmv4qfXrJk
