i do not trust women who are not at least a little angry

Rage is such an inherently feminine trait and living with the subtle jabs and taunts at your mere existence should be enough of a reason to feel that anger. A woman who isn't angry is either submissive of her mistreatment or apathetic, both of which are not qualities I would want in friendships. So this is a rule I abide by. I may not necessarily only befriend people who explicitly call themselves feminists but i trust angry women more. A girl who cannot stand up for herself wouldn't do a great job at defending her friends, I believe.

I have to agree. It’s sad seeing so many women just accept their fate or worse BELIEVE that their treatment is how it should be. Like just because we are born as we are we have to live by society‘s made up rules for us. So maddening to see someone just be like “well what can we do?” Get mad that’s what…

currently reading when the body says no by gabor mate and women (and men) who repress their emotions from childhood and re seen as “pleasant” or overly nice are very much the kind that end up diagnosed with things like ALS. so yeah express the anger don’t hold on to it!!

Counter point—though i do agree—what if some women aren’t outwardly angry because they haven’t had their consciousness raising “a-ha!” moment yet? What if they don’t have the vocabulary or tools to understand a subtle rage bubbling beneath the surface? Part of me thinks we could / should bring back reading groups and consciousness raising groups like from the 60’s and 70’s to get the collective energy UP!!

@SALAD_VALET this ! i feel like the non-angry woman is either oblivious / lacks the awareness orrr they are aware but are okay with the “golden prison” of patriarchal so-called benefits (as kate wagner once called it)

some things i learnt as a woman working in a male dominated industry

- have a firm handshake. this is an unspoken way that a lot of self-indulged men like to measure themselves up against the person they have just met. don’t me afraid to squeeze their hands. - as dangerous as the “ask for forgiveness, not permission“ saying is, sometimes it is necessary as the older generation of men don’t want to hear what you have to say. - dress appropriately and conservatively, it is the only way to be taken seriously - stop apologising, because they don’t. - don’t let yourself be interrupted, call them out and declare that you haven’t finished speaking. - learn about their hobbies, it helps to appeal to their broad interests to strengthen your bond, because you need to make your mark (f1, golfing, etc) - don’t be afraid to lean into your femininity, the older men sometimes crumble when you bat your eyes a little and are more likely to agree or listen to what you have to say (unfortunately, but consider it a super power)

Men are weird

i say this as a man myself, and so i also fit the description, i''m sure. Yesterday at work, we had finished early but are contracted to stay on site premises till the shift ends - for safety reasons. I was talking to a few work friends about life and one of them starts going off... "Mate i fucking it, my girlfriend and me got into an argument because she wants to go to a festival and i'm not letting her. She's just gunna go and fuck a load of men there". Bit of a weird thing to be thinking about your gf but hey, no judging. I then ask "does your girl actually like the music at the festival" and the reply i get is "Yeah, she loves all the bands that are playing" How insecure you gotta be to not let your girlfriend go to a festival with her friends because you think she's going to cheat on you?? wtfffff

How was I so much smarter at 16? I lived in my own little bubble and rejected everything else that made me feel worthless. I stood up for myself more times than I can count. 20 means nothing. I am more confused than ever. I don't know why I take decisions. I fail at everything I do. I constantly search for what I once was.

hatred and true colours

Hearing a person talk about someone they hate is always an experience for me. If you validate their disdain for a person, they spew the most hateful things. I've seen the sweetest of people, fatshame, slutshame or talk about someone's parents with such spite. I mean there are people I hate with all my existence too, but where do you draw the line with your morals? Does such intense emotion really make people so blind, that they think its excusable since the other person is also terrible or do they just show their true colours?

we should've aged backwards.

This might just be the mid life crisis speaking, but if we aged backwards would we enjoy our childhood, and our teenage more carelessly? After unlearning shame throughout our life, by the time we reach our mid 30s, we might present ourselves more authentically and also look our hottest.
