Throughout our entire adolescence women will be adultified. Told that we are βmore matureβ than our male peers. More responsible, more reliable. Weβll be given tasks and responsibilities that are not expected of our brothers and barely expected of our fathers. The oldest daughter will start to clean and cook and take on child care duties for siblings. We listen to motherβs emotional outbursts of pain because βwe just get it.β
And when a sixteen year old starts dating a man whoβs been out of high-school as long or longer than sheβs been there, this rhetoric can be used as justification. βWell sheβs actually more mature than he isβ her mother titters with a laugh. βHeβs the only boy on her levelβ her father says sagely.
And I ask; how is the sixteen year old girl βmore matureβ than the adult man who has years worth of life experience, the right to vote, drive a car and purchase liquor? What experiences, privileges, rights or understandings does the high schooler have on this man?
The answer is nothing she is simply more mature by virtue of being female. And isnβt that just so convenient for predatory men.
Why do girls mature faster than boys?
We donβt
Men just need a reason to justify expecting and extracting more from us earlier on in our lives.

IMPORTANT
If you read my Clarisse fics, please read under the cut.
I recently discovered a few things about the pjo cast; about Rick Riordon and Dior Goodjohn. If you did not know, they're zionists. Rick Riordon was quite clear on his blog, and Dior Goodjohn has posted pro isnotreal things on her twitter before deleting them after getting backlash. Supposedly she apologized for it, but I've seen nothing of the sort. I found plenty of screenshots of her supporting isnotreal, but none of her apologizing. She's still posting about isrealnot, claiming a neutral stance which is just as harmful.
"If you are neutral in situations of injustice,Β you have chosen the side of the oppressor." - Desmond Tutu
I've had time to wrap my head around all of it - Ik some of you may see that as "dramatic" but as mentioned, a few times, briefly before on my blog, I'm Palestinian. All this stuff is bound to be more personal and emotional for me.
Me and my family were already planning on canceling our disney+ subscription when the term ends (so soon I think), and I will not be watching pjo. At first I thought "I'll just pirate pjo, I have my ways." But now, I'd probably get too sick to watch it. The same sick feeling I got last night when I discovered Dior Goodjohn was a zionist.
Listen, I get not being able to let go, but at the end of the day, where are your priorities? Dior Goodjohn fucked up, big time. And I'll be honest with you, I don't think an apology is coming anytime soon; It'd be nice if I can eat my own words one day, but if/until then, I'm done supporting her and the show.
No more free advertising from me, which means no more Clarisse fics. Thank you all for the support I've gotten, you've been great readers. Of course I'll still be writing for my other characters, but Clarisse is definitely being put on hold as of right now.
If you have a problem with my decision, too bad. There are plenty of other Clarisse authors to follow, I promise you that.
Have a good day.

Absolutely facts, I saw 12 year olds that can write better than riordan
I don't understand why pjo fans get so upset when they learn nothing in the books is actually mythologically accurate. You're literally reading an action/adventure Harry Potter rip-off series for 13 year olds, made by an American for Americans, it's not that deep

see the thing is. the THING is is that in the Greek Myths, ArΓͺs was one of the most devoted to his family and his children. ArΓͺs, the God of War and Spirit of Battle, sought out the justice and punishment for the rape of his MORTAL daughter, Alcippe, who was raped by Halirrhothius, the son of Posideon. He killed Halirrhothius and was brought to trial for the murder and then Acquitted for it
and then Rick Riordan, who is responsible for a lot of young people who get into mythology, says alllll the gods are neglectful. like. sure. yes. I get it. adaptations and all that. but there are still people who worship these divinities. There are people who study then academically and the cultural context surrounding those myths
do you know how *big* of a deal it is for ArΓͺs, a GOD, to seek vengeance for the rape of a MORTAL DAUGHTER and then... turn around and become a neglectful, emotionally abusive parent to Clarisse?
like yes. I know that the gods have 'warped and changed due to how humanity views them' but the removal of cultural context is so exhausting and to an extent insulting to the Greek Myths and the GODS that have shaped so many stories and generations
I dunno. it's just really sad bec ArΓͺs, out of them all, was one of the most devoted to his children because *he* was seen as the least favorite of all Zeus' children. He got scapegoated and now Rick Riordan has him as an abusive parent who isn't only neglectful, he's also emotionally abusive

rick riordan and the whole cast is Zionist as well π
Idea what a PJO is but you want asks about it so,,,, what the hell IS PJO???
Percy Jackson and the Olympians! Itβs a 5 book series by Rick Riordan and the first two episodes of the TV show adaptation came out today! Theyβre going to come out one episode at a time until the end of January. You can watch it on Disney+, but since weβre boycotting Disney because they support Israel, itβs also available on Hulu (which as far as I know is not a Zionist site)
Itβs about a 12 year old kid named Percy Jackson who has ADHD and dyslexia. He learns his dad is a Greek God and is sent on a quest to save the world with two other kids, Grover and Annabeth. Itβs really good and the TV show is amazing!

i didnβt know about rick riordan or the pjo cast. i definitely think itβs good to spread awareness about that but using language like clout chasing isnβt very productive and might only discourage people from sharing about palestine
rick riordan posted a since-edited blog post about how there are "two sides" to the genocide being committed in palestine
dior goodjohn (who plays clarisse) posted about how "israel" is under attack and ignored people who tried to educate her about palestine
jessica parker kennedy (who plays medusa) is married to ronen rubenstein, an israeli zionist
what would you call people who post gifsets so that they can get notes on tumblr dot com while ignoring that the free promotion they're doing for disney will put money into the pockets of zionists and fund israeli genocide? clout chaser is frankly one of the tamest phrases i can use and i can spread awareness about palestine while still calling out people for being disingenuous in their support when they refuse to do the bare minimum
