Never change yourself for anyone, especially for males

“All over the world, girls are raised to be make themselves likeable, to twist themselves into shapes that suit other people. Please do not twist yourself into shapes to please. Don’t do it. If someone likes that version of you, that version of you that is false and holds back, then they actually just like that twisted shape, and not you. And the world is such a gloriously multifaceted, diverse place that there are people in the world who will like you, the real you, as you are.”

— Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

me: women are scrutinized over every aspect of their being and are taught from birth to be self conscious about their face, their eyes, their nose, their lips, the way they sound, the way they laugh, how they do their hair, how they do their makeup, what their body looks like, what they wear, what they don’t wear, how they greet you, how they celebrate, how they eat….

man who is very intelligent: well movies created by men about their own male power fantasies expect me to have abs. it goes both ways

Men don't deserve any % of your progress, nothing.
