I really need a shirt that has the middle part of my signature on it. Actually, multiples, only one between laundry days would not be enough.

I also need it mentioned IRL that this includes assuming that I picked up on anything that wasn’t outright stated.

I keep seeing adverts that say "A woman can do anything a man can do ...."

This is supposed to be empowering.

It's true and everything, but it still suggests men have a natural advantage.

It sounds like women want to copy men because they're better somehow.

Why don't they say, "A man can do anything a woman can do" ?

I know right? I think people have been conditioned to view women inferior to men, it has become an internalization and they are trying to change that on a more surface level.

It's weird since i actually think traditionally feminine traits are actually traits that make a person stronger. Like being more accepting of your emotions and dealing with them in non-destructive ways.

I don't mean to say women are stronger than men , just that so called feminine traits are not weak at all.

Those crazy adverts pertaining to exercise equipment if not phony diet plans; often, in the commercial time period. :x

The same thing would probably happen. They should say both genders can do anything they wish (or should as long as they don't hurt anyone).

I feel like gender roles hold us back more than biology.

I hate myself less and less ever since I was evaluated and diagnosed. I realized today that I have almost zero self-loathing left. It felt like a personality trait for so long, I didn't think I was capable of *not* feeling it.

Also, I am on week three of a new job, making more money with less stress. YES. Life is good.
