I just wish women knew that they don't have to be in a relationship with someone who doesn't put in the same amount of effort as them. I see a lot of relationships around me where the women is doing everything, and I think the sad part is that they are so vocal about feminism, they KNOW what the problem is, they talk about how women get together with toxic men because they are always taught to settle for the bare minimum, and then you meet their boyfriends and the disappointment is so huge, because you would never expect someone like them to be with a guy who doesn't know how to wash his ass, refuses to perform oral sex on them, doesn't plan dates or even bother to dress up for an already planned one. It's just so weird to me and sometimes I look at them and I think- what if one day, I too, settle for a man like this, and it makes me so scared. I just really want to understand the psychology behind this kind of behavior. I read somewhere that "even if a mother is a passionate feminist or even just a non feminist who firmly believes in men respecting women this doesn't necessarily socialise her children to respect women. Her children will recognise her lack of power instead. The very role that mothers occupy in patriarchy mean a lot of the socialisation is done already by the structure." I read this on Tumblr, I don't remember who posted this, these are not my words, but a lot of things make sense when I read it. All the girls mentioned above lived in a two parent household, and despite their mothers working, they still saw how she did the majority of household chores and how she wasn't in control of her own life. I think I'm in a better position because I was raised by a single mother, a very strong woman who has never submitted to anyone, who went against everyone and took charge of her own life, got divorced and without any financial support raised my sister and me in the best way that she could and when I interact with other people I realise how well behaved we are, and how much better we are doing in life compared to others of the same age. I wish other girls were also raised the same way I was, so that I could make them see the things I see.
This was just supposed to be a meme sort of a thing, but then all my feelings just started pouring out😭
