I recently heard someone say "men want power so they can have power over others and women want power so no one can have power over them" and I haven't stopped thinking about 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.
If I had been taught in primary school that Amelia Earhart died because men ignored dozens of distress calls from her, that would've been a lot more helpful to my life than growing up scared of the Bermuda Triangle. smh
