Of course I wouldn’t swap my perfect baby girl for the world and I don’t mean it but I said this to my husband tonight after seeing the breaking news about the missing woman (active case don’t want to name names).

I just look at her and think of all the fucking bullshit she’s going to have to deal with, all the predatory men and rape culture ans the victim blaming and 2 women murdered a week and the insane pressures to look a certain way and the pornification of everything not to mention the gender wokery and erosion of sex based rights and protections.

How do you raise daughters in this world? I’m honestly asking. I feel so sad and angry tonight.

also get so angry that in 2021 we are still in this situation

I know, I want to believe in the idea of a better world for her but then I think we’re not very much further on than when I was growing up, worse in a lot of ways.

Flowers I don’t know what to say but know exactly what you mean. I have two DDs and worry about them so much and also get so angry that in 2021 we are still in this situation.
