What a time to be alive! Beyoncé’s album is dropping on the 29th! Gas prices keep increasing, and baby formula is now 50 bucks! Lord! Anyway, buttercups, one thing we can count on to be consistent is men’s audacity. Full disclaimer: this is a chaotic post! Same as this 36-degree weather!

From books to radio or TV shows, and now podcasts or posts on the internet, you can always count on a man somewhere explaining to women how to be themselves, how to be mothers, wives, professionals, or simply exist! It would be somewhat understandable or tolerable if, for most of them, their sole credential weren’t being a man. Self-proclaimed superior sex, therefore in charge of I don’t know what exactly.

Also, I don’t know what irks me the most: “pick me” women who want men’s approval or women who internalize misogyny worse than men! Both groups can stay away from me forever because I don’t have the desire or energy to be around them! It is so triggering listening to women bash feminism to please a man! I understand the movement has issues, but what doesn’t? Why do people expect all feminists to be some kind of role models!!!

I’m not only running on low energy. I’m cutting people off! You won’t intoxicate my space in the name of bloodlines or the same last name! Or in the name of being related to one of my other relatives! Because you aren’t related to me! We will talk about this soon because, seriously, why do people think they can disrespect you because they are your family? Therefore, you are stuck with them? In 2022? When did the world become a whole village? I digress, but you get it!

Celebrities, theorists, and religious leaders shouldn’t be your role models! They are human, with different sides! They can certainly do things that you would never expect! A lot of times, when meeting someone who refuses to acknowledge feminism’s contribution to society, they look for flaws in a feminist figure’s life to discredit the whole movement! I could go on and do the same for everything created by men, but why reciprocate the energy? I don’t have it anyway! I remove myself from the equation and keep on thriving! Self-care is also knowing when something isn’t worth it!

PS: My trainer expects me to be active this week! Sirrrrrrr! It’s 37 degrees!
