Girls will survive abuse, heartbreak, grief, and unspeakable tragedies and still navigate through the world with kindness and compassion, but one minor inconvenience in a man's childhood and he spends the rest of his life terrorizing and poisoning everyone around him
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.
This is the first generation of women who aren't required to get married to survive. The first time in history women aren't slaves to men. So yes feminism is serious.
"not all men!" but all women are bad drivers and all women are moody and all women are emotional and all women get to be painted with the same brush but don't you dare generalise men that's unfair!!!!!!!!
I just heard someone on TikTok say "this is the first time in history women are dating men for their character. And that's why no one is dating." and she was right.
