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

i am just a girl tho☹️ not in the way like im saying im like a child who can’t be taken seriously. but like tbh i will never be like this very sophisticated and aware and mature woman bc ive been undiagnosed and honestly neglected due to my neurodivergence that i 100% know was seen. but not thought a lot abt bc i was a girl in a time they didn’t diagnose us. & ofc undiagnosed guys face lots of issues w that. but just that added factor of being a girl in society iykwim? so yes i am just a girl🤩

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.

hahahahahah that’s actually funny to read. having expectations like such strict ones we do is honestly alr hard for everyone. but legitimately being a girl i KNOW has made my condition sm worse bc there’s specific and more strict ways for me to act to be accepted bc of literally just being a woman and ive had to literally almost kill myself in the process of just gaining even a bit more acceptance. like expectations aren’t just w things like idk jobs which im sure ur talking abt BUT EVERYRHING

i type in paragraphs w everything bc i have a diff way i communicate bc the way i do is thru this way of sharing the little details that help me process what im saying but also bc i can’t just say it in a few words bc i don’t know how to even phrase that. im sure ur frustrated w life’s expectations in ways too. im just fucking exhausted in ways where it’s impacted both physical and mental functions so i am angry w seeing how literally everyone even if ur #prowomen has this way for us to be 😀

sowwy the new notifs make me come back and read new replies. honestly it may also be bc how quickly women do have to kinda grow up at least compared to men. so maybe it’s like they want to feel separated from this like strict and more serious term that being this adult woman sounds. which ofc is weird to be like no don’t say i’m a woman when they are? so def misogynistic but maybe in this way where it’s like not just abt aging but bc this im just a girl joke kinda made some women feel some

weight lifted off of them? but for some it that breath they could take made them hold on to it way too much where they are still having this thought of being a woman as a negative thing in a diff light ? like they get a taste of the silliness that we’re less expected to lean into that any mention of being a woman takes that away from them. ah idk but ur not too woke bc it is sad the way we are so frozen in our movements as women that no matter where u look there’s something new to “hate” abt it
