What stage of trauma is going from "why did no one help me?" To "they couldn't have helped me"

It's okay to admit you shave because of the patriarchy.

Feminists aren't going to force you to stop shaving.

What's harmful is pretending it has nothing to do with the patriarchy.

I shave because of the patriarchy.

I feel It looks bad on me because of the patriarchy.

I hate how I look with it because of the patriarchy.

I can't break the cycle right now, but one day I want to be able to, and the only way we can do that is by addressing the real reason it happens and is normalised in the first place.

Stop excusing the patriarchy.

I shave because of patriarchy.

I shave because I have dark body hair and I'm afraid of what would be said to me in public if I didn't.

I'm scared of being laughed at.

I hate how it looks, because of patriarchy.

I hate how I look with it, because of patriarchy.

I have never shaved from a want of my own creation, and neither have you.

"I like how it looks" because you've been conditioned.

"I like how it feels" because you've been conditioned.

"I have sensory issues" because you're not used to having it.

I never shaved my body until I was 13 years old, standing in the hallway in school, older students walked past, pointed at my legs with baby blonde hairs that were just long enough to catch the sun and bring attention to themselves, and laughed making comments.

I remember the panic I felt when I hit puberty and my leg hair grew dark. Every new hair I pulled out.

Not because I wanted to, but because I was told I shouldn't have it, having it brought ridicule.

You don't shave for yourself.

You never have.

I have to smoke inside my shower sometimes

I turn off all the lights in my bathroom and sneak around

It's quite thrilling, I feel sick, the anxiety is high, I'm not sure what I'm afraid of

I know it's because I've noticed the kitchen lights on in my parents house, next door, my bathroom faces their kitchen

I can see them, they can see me

It's 2am, I know it's my dad.

I don't want him to see me

What if he talks to me

Mum left two nights ago
