Wow, thank you for resharing. Such a powerful post, and so many true points. Things really feel like they’re getting worse. I wrote a piece about International Women’s Day too, and while I was writing it, I felt both angry and sad about the lack of real improvement. Sometimes it feels like we’re going backwards, and that makes me so nervous, especially as the mom of a girl. The only thing we can do is keep fighting, supporting each other, and raising our voices whenever we can.
I felt so humiliated at school when they made us--girls--sew the pillowcases. LOL! I liked reading, playing chess, and collecting stamps. I disdained sewing and knitting. Though I loved dolls and wanted to be a princess when I was five! Hahaha. But I never cared about 'behaving like a girl' and I must say I got away with it most of my life.
WOW. Thanks for re-sharing. I would have been sorry to miss this righteous rant. What a fine woman you are, Ros, and fine women the world over need celebrating whatever fucking day of the year it is x
Hear hear!! Beautifully put as always 👏🙏
