"ARE YOU A FEMINIST?"

I am five years old. My mother just told me to go fetch a sweater because an adult man would be coming over soon, and I need to cover up.

I am seven years old. A boy wouldn't stop chasing me on the playground and throwing rocks at me. I'm upset. My best friend says it's because he likes me and she told me boys are mean to girls they like.

I am ten years old. We just had our first health class in school. The teachers were trying to educate us on sexual assault. After class, my friends told me to scream fire instead of rape if I'm ever being attacked, because no one will come if they hear the word rape being screamed.

I am twelve years old. I just got my first period. A pad fell out of my book bag at school and everyone started laughing. Apparently, periods aren't normal and they should be hidden at all costs.

I am fifteen years old. I'm in the office crying because a boy I don't know kept following me down the hallway and grabbing my ass even after I told him to stop. The administrator scolds me - "Maybe you shouldn't be wearing leggings if you don't want that kind of attention" She sends me home with a dress code violation. She marked the "distracting" box.

I am seventeen years old. I've just been slapped because a boy got angry with me after I wouldn't let him put his hands down my pants.
Apparently, i led him on by letting him copy my math assignment.

I am twenty-one years old. My best friend has bought me special nail polish to wear to the bar. She says it changes color if it's dipped in a drink that has a date rape drug in it.

I am twenty-three years old. I'm reading this to the first class I will ever teach. A student raises her hand and says, "no offense, but doesn't this stuff happen to every girl?"

So yes, I am a feminist. And when you ask me why, I will read this to you. Again, and again, and again.

Growing up hearing “Wikipedia isn't a valid source” and then entering a workplace where people say “just ask ChatGPT” is a surprisingly strange timeline

I’m at the age where I understand that paying a little extra for convenience and comfort is absolutely okay.

When someone dies by suicide, people ask:
Why didn’t they talk to someone?
What were they thinking?
How could they do that?

But when someone tries to open up, the world often says:
You’re overreacting.
You’ll be fine.
You’re too sensitive.
That’s life get on with it.

Silencing people in pain and then judging their silence is one of the cruellest things we do as a society.

“Well, somebody better be dying!”

“I’m dying.”

That exchange is one of the funniest examples of how Shrek the Third uses timing to land a joke.

no one talks about how draining it is when your mood constantly switches between "keep going, it will get better" and "i can't do this anymore, im about to give up." it's like living in emotional whiplash. one hour you're hopeful, the next you're spiraling

Just to be clear, if my child goes out with y’all and y’all return and my child is nowhere to be found, and there’s no answer in sight, your moms are going to be just as sad as I am.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

If you don't love your neurodivergent girl when she's melancholy and overstimulated, then you don't deserve her when she's bubbly and excitable

This is a top ten greatest voice acting moment for me, because you KNOW that poor woman blew her throat out doing multiple takes of those screams.
