being the eldest daughter is just *asks mother what’s wrong* *cannot express emotions* *”don’t worry i’ll do it”* *fiercely independent but only bc you would rather die than inconvenience someone by asking for help* *carries the trauma of your entire family* *asks mother what’s wrong* *the constant feeling of guilt that has no known origin* *third parent. maybe even replacement father if urs is shitty enough* *emotional punching bag for both parents* *not even a slight clue as to what a healthy boundary is* *asks mother what’s wrong*

I’m packing. You brought a gun in here?

i’m really sick from seeing all women’s legs shaved while men strut around with incredible amount of leg hair, can you fucking imagine what kind of deep ingrained fear of humiliation would cause entire female population to shave their legs, regularly, every time before they show up anywhere in public? do you realize how much hours this is in women’s lives they spend just on making sure they don’t appear “disgusting” and “ugly” and that don’t get looked at as if they’re wrong and ugly and unworthy of existing like that? fuck beauty standards, if men can walk around hairy and unconcerned about their natural features why the fuck can’t women do the same without getting hurt for it.

And while you can pretend that make-up is art and clothes are a part of personal style, shaving is just a way to dehumanise women. Women say they’re ready to spend their time and money to “feel smooth” like it’s not the most absurd shit ever. If you weren’t obsessed with your body hair you wouldn’t even notice

The more some women do it, the more the rest of us are expected and required to even if we don’t want to

“deep ingrained fear of humiliation” is 100% right. That’s exactly what it is. Before I stopped shaving, every single time I did so was explicitly motivated by dread of someone noticing my body hair, it had absolutely nothing to do with my personal preferences.
