One thing I started doing a long time ago that changed my relationships is I started making myself speak up when I had nice thoughts. If I’m in line at the grocery store & I notice that the woman in front of me has beautiful eyes, I say something. If my sister walks in the house & I like her eyebrows, I say something. People forget how much little tiny compliments like that can make someone’s whole day. It doesn’t even have to just be compliments. It could be saying “I love you” when you’re thinking it even if it’s at a random time. Sometimes I get up and go over to my mom just to give her a hug out of the blue cause I was thinking about her. I’ll randomly send my friends texts about how I appreciate them whenever I’m thinking it. Little gestures like that mean so much.

Most of my life I’ve been told by “normal” society that I’m not a “real woman” because of my appearance, attitude, etc., not being feminine enough.  The LGBT community has long been a refuge for gnc women like me, where we could just exist and actually be seen as who we are…. until recently, now we’re assumed to be trans or nonbinary, again being told we can’t be “real women” because of the way we look.  That’s kinda messed up.

Anyone else tired of the 3 guy 1 girl character setup in literally every movie ever?

That disgusts me.

There have also been studies in which it was found that men think women talk much more than they actually do - if they have to share equal air time with a woman they think they’re not getting a word in edgewise.

Imagine being so used to privilege and prioritization to think that the equal treatment of others is an unfairness to you.

I guess you could look at it from the perspective that at least one whole woman is worth like... three men 👀

I used to cringe so hard at my “I’m not like other girls” phase until I realized that most girls have this phase and what we actually mean is, “I’m not a thoughtless one-dimensional caricature of makeup and boobs, which is all I’ve been taught to believe girls are.” How can women be viewed so poorly that little girls everywhere all think they’re unique just for having independent thoughts and interests?

LOL some people are really like “so what if 3.8 billion people share the same kind of body they have NOTHING in common!!!!!!!”

i love when women realize they not asking for too much

Men who venture into female-dominated activities are treated by women as cool and special men who must be welcomed and praised and made comfortable at all costs while women who venture into male-dominated activities are treated by men as laughable intruders who must be discouraged and pushed out
