might be controversial but idc y’all have to stop this culture of making women feel bad for being attracted to men. just stop it. i can’t listen to more women say “i really like this man ugh it’s disgusting” like no it isn’t. that’s just internalized misogyny and so many other women say it like we have to feel embarrassed of it and i’m sick of it!!

What ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’ does is give the mad woman pen and paper, and ultimately a voice of her own. We hear from her, directly and in detail.”
