yeah i read the puppygirl article.
it's really easy to imagine someone who is ontologically incapable of growth, and then get mad at that someone. it's so easy, people have been doing it for millennia. your parents did that, when they talk to you about why it's disappointing you still work at starbucks with a graduate degree. your rapist did that, when they talked to you about how upsetting it is to constantly be footing the bill, even if they have a salary and you're a part-time wageslave. it's really fucking easy. i do it, when i start seething about all the work i do around my house, and how stressed and in pain and desperate i am for something to give, wasting my life one minute at a time at starbucks still after all these years.
but like, i used to be that girl. and i grew. i know that girl, i woke up at 4 am to clean vomit off that girl's floor, i pay that girl's rent, i hold that girl and reassure her for the hundredth time about the same fear she's had for months. if i did it, so can they. i do not give into that resentment. i'm a whole ass woman and i communicate. i do not secretly think about how that girl is just like the men in her family.
do better. fucking despicable
