women should be allowed to stay stupid shit sometimes. no this isn't ironic. every time a woman in my life says something insightful she qualifies it with "sorry if this sounds dumb" or some variant. meanwhile, the men in my life offer up their hurtful or irrelevant opinions completely unsolicited.
women's statements are held to such a higher standard. we are constantly under scrutiny and constantly being asked to prove ourselves. offer your opinion up and make no apology. who cares if it sounds stupid. you have just as much to say as men do. as a bonus, other women often are just waiting for someone to speak up. you notice it as soon as you break the silence, other women will follow!
