Manufacturing Daddy's Girls is a Major Success to The Patriarchy
Everybody is saying how adorable this is, that she is a "daddy's girl", but to me all it is is a product female socialization that her dad has to approve of her as his prized possession. If she has a new feature as part of her decor, he as her procurer must approve.
She ran right to daddy so he could see how she looked ❤️❤️
Women, don’t be soft.
In a world where men are the most dangerous risk to women, and said men want women who are styled in the patriarchy’s costume, feminists must reject this costume!
We must refuse to be soft. Refuse to be shy. Refuse to be quiet, over accommodating, cute, seductive, small. It’s only logical: don’t be what men want women to be. Don’t give them the satisfaction or opportunity. Don’t let men win. You must be tough, independent, loud, ugly, mean. Command your space.
Reserve softness, accommodation and generosity for other women. It's important to make the distinction that women deserve a different treatment - you should not talk over other women nor should you be mean to them, it's men who do that and they are not our role models.
You can be "nice", but never at your own expense.
Stop raising your daughters to be damsels in distress.
It's the parent's fault for teaching her to prioritize her looks, putting her in sandals in the rain, and raising her different than your son.
RAISE YOUR DAUGHTERS AND SONS THE SAME. Gender roles start before conception when you choose to buy your female fetus bows and tell her as a newborn how pretty she is, versus buying your male fetus sensible shit like teething rings and telling him as a newborn how tough he is.
I'm sick of seeing girls call themselves princesses and being groomed to be pathetic and 100% dependent on males.
Women are taught to maintain beauty, humility, and purity. When she defies this, she has lost her mind. What if we held men to the same standards?

Like it really is upsetting how many women don’t celebrate the weirdo daughtersthey have and want to assimilate them into being boring and compliant. Like every little girl is born fierce and it’s heartbreaking in more than one way when their own mothers are scared of that feirceness.
I still remember the pain and anger that came with my mom forcefully brushing my hair, putting me in dresses and jewelry I felt like an idiot in, and later pushing it on me that I was “unpresentable” and “impolite” if I didn’t wear makeup.
My brother playing with legos and cars was the “amazing little engineer” while what the relatives heard about me was a dry “ha ha, she never was much into dolls, weird like that.”
Mom would yell and yell at me for being topless at night in my own room. I never got an answer for why my brother got to do it on hot nights but I didn’t.
My brother was a metalhead and grew his hair long and it was fine because “you know how teenage boys are, so rebellious!” Meanwhile mom told me to not listen to “that horrible noise” and cried, pleaded, and threatened me to not cut my hair short, or else, because “girls look so good with long hair.”
She would agonise over why I didn’t want to “look pretty,” when I thought I looked fantastic in my oversize t-shirt and baggy jeans.
My brother was the jokester and just had a bit of a temper, while I was “too loud,” “bothering people” with my “tricks just trying to get attention,” and any anger I expressed was blasphemy basically.
“Girls don’t do that” was allll I heard growing up. Female socialisation is literally traumatising especially for women like me who naturally lean towards the more “masculine” things. Most of it was enforced by mom. It was humiliating, it made me feel less than a human being. Femininity is a massive issue and women deserve to be more aware of gendered socialisation and how it has hurt and dehumanised them so that we can stop passing this on to our daughters.
When has a man been asked "What do you do?" and answered "I'm a dad!"
Unlike for men, when women become parents or wives it's a death sentence to our individualism.
