I'm starting a charity specialised in reaching out to "stay-at-home-girlfriends" and "tradwife" influencers and sending them copies of Betty Friedan's work under the guise of paid sponsorship

the feminine urge to:
ღ doodle flowers and hearts all over my schoolwork
ღ smile at any old people or young children you see, and for them to smile back and be happy about it
ღ take care of everyone and everything you see
ღ drop my schoolwork, just for someone to help me pick it up
ღ use actual heart emojis instead of "<3"
ღ read whenever i can, no matter the occasion
ღ pick cute, detailed outfits just for the smallest things
ღ to dance around my room and blast my fave music
ღ stay up at night just to watch netflix, and be netflix obsessed
ღ to romanticize just watching the snow or rain outside for hours
ღ to be the friend that always lights up the mood

The only way for a woman, as for a man, to find herself, to know herself as a person, is by creative work of her own.

I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick — it even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right.
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh — even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it that you're not around and the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you — not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

Don’t ever deny your feminine desires. You are a sensual and confident WOMAN and being sexually attracted to and enjoying sex with Men is entirely normal.
Love, Melissa. 💖❤️⭐️🌸👗
