Women, please stop ignoring early signs of unkindness. A man who is comfortable being rude, dismissive, impatient, or inconsiderate in the beginning usually doesn’t get better with time. Leave early.

most males are cowards when it comes to confronting their male friends about mistreating women, because they value male approval more than women’s safety.

One of the things we don't talk about enough is what a hypersexualised culture does to young girls.

I remember being around 13 and already scared of "heterosexual" sex because were told it was inevitable, that it would hurt, that penetration was something that had to happen to "take away" your virginity, and that boys would expect things things such as a blow job. When I said I didn't want that, I was mocked, dismissed, and told when I grow up I'd want that for myself.

Meanwhile, boys are raised to look forward to sex, to see it as something they gain and take from girls. Girls, on the other hand, are prepared to expect discomfort, pressure, even humiliation as part of the experience.

This is a very fucked up way to socialise children and teenagers, and I hope none of you are passing these ideas on to your kids.

This is how I grew up. I just started telling people to their faces I thought they were being mean. “What’s the punchline” is one of my favorite phrases, it is very alienating. People “button up” when I come around cos I’m not playing

Go further and ask “why would you think it was okay to say that to me?” And watch them stutter.

scusate ma questo livello di rom com anni 2000 non potrà mai più essere raggiunto

my hot take is that "fashion is art" is a terrible theme that ironically reveals the artistic paucity of the fashion industry. given a challenge to make garments that argue fashion is its own artistic medium, but everyone just makes recreations of dresses from famous paintings.

Someone said “ the death of ego will set you free as a woman” and I agree. Ego is the part of you that says: “I must prove I’m enough.”
Freedom is when you realize: “I don’t need to prove anything to be enough.

Emotional freedom is necessary, you become less reactive, less defensive, and more grounded in who you are.

The best thing you can do for yourself a woman is to become unbothered by unnecessary validation.

“Do you want kids” actually I want to be so deeply and safely inlove with a genuine, handsome, considerate, emotionally intelligent, healed provider of a man that the only feasible next option is to make him a father.
