Hey, you know how girls have this thing where we sit and affirm each other and ourselves about how we are beautiful and worthy and deserve more from the people in our lives?
Sometimes I think we should do that for guys, but not for affirmation.
For clarification.
Like guys should come and say all the things that they think women should do for them and women should surround them, and after each
she should cook
she should clean
she should take it in the arse
she should excuse my bullshit
she should have children
All the women should repeat
I am not your mother
I am not your mother
I am not your mother
I am not here to raise you
To coddle you
To take your shit
To love your face always
I have things to do too
You are a want but not a need
My only need is my mind’s sanity
and stupidity should not be excused in any sex
I am not your mother
A relationship is not synonymous to the transferring of an umbilical cord
I am not your mother
I am not your mother
I am not your mother
I don’t know where women get the strength from to stand the bullshit that men heap on them. The first brainstorm quarterly went a long way in making me see the world from a woman’s perspective… And like those trick pictures, once you see the world through those lenses, you can’t unsee it.
I hope more men read it too. Was just having a conversation on consent today. Surprising that I have so many, really.
