    I mean, its fine to try to be healthy and exercise daily, but that activity doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be thin, fertile, or Republican.

    For any young women reading this, I hope you understand that you aren’t obligated to conform to any standard at all. I hope you are happy, healthy, and have great friends / family who look out for you and support you for you.

      I don’t remember the original author of the quote but there goes a wise saying as follows:

      “You don’t owe the world being pretty as rent for existing as a woman.” The same goes for reproduction, childcare, or any other unpaid labor.

      By virtue of being human you are owed the bare minimum basic rights of dignity and respect to your personhood.

      You never need to apologize for being a woman and anyone who acts like you do, especially if you dare not conform to their ideals, can go lick the bottom of a crusty shoe.

      (And in case this isn’t clear; I mean ALL women. TERFs fuck off)

      For some reason women are all doing weighted hip thrusts at the gym. I guess it enlargens your glutes, but it’s fuckin’ weird. Must be some tiktok shit.
