The fact that people still use the excuse “I’m just a girl” is so crazy and irritating. Cause being a dummy isn’t a girl thing. It’s a you thing.

i thought the “i’m just a girl” thing was like a way to go against (?i can’t find the right wording) the “boys will be boys” mentality

Literally like two days ago i was listening to men at my workplace talk about how a woman in a different department made a big mistake and literally went “I’m sorry I’m just a girl” and now their level of respect dropped greatly for her bc she didn’t own up to her mistake and trivialized it

Sometimes I wonder if the trepidation some ladies have about calling themselves a ‘woman’ instead of a ‘girl’ could have anything to do with the intersection between sexism, misogyny, and ageism? I have heard so many ladies say ‘oh, don’t call me a woman’ or ‘oh, don’t call me ma’am’ and it makes me sad that we both don’t have a solid equivalent to ‘guy’ and that society’s made ladies feel so badly and fearful about growing into a woman. I’m sorry if I’m being the person who’s “too woke”. 😭

Joke or not it’s belittling, and I stand by that. I’m not starting problems. You commenting trying to argue is starting problems. I’m simply stating my opinion on a public platform and people happen to agree with what I said for a number of reasons. It’s okay if you don’t see it my way.

I wanna clarify- I’m not judging you for speaking in paragraphs because I do it too. I’m really bad about over explaining. I just didn’t really feel like this post was that big of a deal. Or anything people would put nearly as much thought into as they have in the comments.

This world has been shit for years. Going back to Jesus times😭😭😭😭😭. Something that ain’t ever gonna change. Just gotta make the most of what we get 😂. This being one of those things. I feel like I came off harsh and judgy. I’m not judging anybody at all. I just don’t agree with it and I don’t understand it. But to each their own. But some of these people were just flat rude for no reason 😭 like we aren’t allowed to all have a difference in opinion.
