Dear GCs.
Stop getting guilt-tripped.
And stop being apologetic for things you haven't done.
Others' inferiority complex is not your problem.
Stand for your rights and ask for what is promised to you in the Constitution - Equality.
Asking for your rights is not oppression.
Thank you 🙏
US Open is smelling less like a Grand Slam and more like a sewage plant.

you can fake luxury watches/purses etc for clout but you can’t fake paying the cost of nannies, private school, extracurriculars, etc
it’s one of the last true flexes
