My grandma was going on about how girls needed to have good manners and maturity to be desirable to men and I was like “forget societal gender roles do what makes you happy” because i don’t want my little sister to grow up thinking that a boys opinion is all that matters and grandma got really pissed so Libby and I just had a burping contest at the dinner table with my mom as a judge and holy fuck my family is great.

You ever notice how much our culture gets off on making fun of teenage girls?

Every trope and stereotype about women is amplified when applied to teenage girls. 

There is no faster way to discredit something than to point out that teenage girls like it - so much that a lot of girls feel a lot of pressure to distance themselves from “other girls” in order to be taken seriously.

And then, of course, we mock them for that too.

Whole lotta bullshit if you ask me.

What We Talk About When We Talk About KStew

“I know many people are concerned about the destruction of the sanctity of marriage, as well, and they view this as a threat. But let me ask you something, ladies and gentlemen, what are we really protecting when you look at the divorce rate in our society? Turn on the television. We have a wedding channel on cable TV devoted to the behavior of people on their way to the altar. They spend billions of dollars, behave in the most appalling way, all in an effort to be princess for a day. You don’t have cable television? Put on network TV. We’re giving away husbands on a game show. You can watch “The Bachelor,” where 30 desperate women will compete to marry a 40-year-old man who has never been able to maintain a decent relationship in his life. We have “The Bacholorette,” in reverse. And my favorite show, which thank God only ran one season because it was truly distasteful, was “The Littlest Groom,” where 30 desperate women competed to marry a dwarf. That’s what we’ve done to marriage in America, where young women are socialized from the time they’re five years old to think of being nothing but a bride. They plan every day what they’ll wear, how they’ll look, the invitations, the whole bit. They don’t spend five minutes thinking about what it means to be a wife. People stand up there before God and man — even in Senator Diaz’s church — they swear to love, honor, and obey; they don’t mean a word of it. So if there’s anything wrong, any threat to the sanctity of marriage in America, it comes from those of us who have the privilege and the right, and we have abused it for decades.” - NY Senator Diane Savino
