I pride myself on being a feminist and trying to decenter men. But damn…internalized misogyny is still there. Trying to love myself every day still takes so much work. I wish that we could have been raised/socialized differently. It runs so deep. 💔

It’s a long and difficult battle. One moment I couldn’t care less what a man thinks of me the next I’m crying over my own body hair. When you and the entire world have been conditioned to accept the patriarchy it takes so much work to separate from that mindset

Literally. That is so so real. God I wish I didn’t care. I know cognitively that these things don’t matter. It’s just hair. But we are taught to feel ashamed. It’s like there’s a disconnect between what I feel and what I know.
