i’ve been more focused lately on the things women need to work on themselves. do y’all have any examples of things you either had to learn, unlearn, harmful things you see other women doing, things you experience as a marginalized woman that you want to stop, etc?
i’ve obviously talked a lot on here about things i think women in general need to unlearn but something i had to unlearn myself was being whorephobic via “what would be your price if you were a hoe” type banter
something i see a lot that bothers me is women making statements like “id make an onlyfans if it wasn’t for these morals!” . and i want more women to assess their “morals”, where they come from and who they ultimately & actually benefit.
oh i want women to stop calling into question the childhood, trauma, sanity, etc of any woman who divests from marriage, monogamy, motherhood, etc. “she just doesn’t want it bc she can’t get it” is toxic and reinforces the idea these desires are inherent for every woman
similarly something i had to unlearn personally was responding to attacks like this by “proving” them wrong. i thought i was saying “hey look i came to these conclusions even with all these options so it’s even more valid!” but it just read as still trying to prove i’m desirable
