Women Are Sharing The Acts Of Microfeminism They Practice In Their Daily Lives

22.

“My granddaughter made me aware of how I default to he/him pronouns when I don’t know the sex of something, like a baby, an animal, or a plush creature. She defaults to she/her. This led me to be more aware of sexism in the English language. Something that really stuck with me not long after that was Betty White pointing out that it makes no sense to say that someone tough has balls, and someone weak is a pussy because male parts are fragile, but female parts can take a real pounding. It’s sexism. And my husband is telling his son he throws or runs like a girl, or any other intent to insult by telling a male he seems female. Females are tough as hell; he should be flattered to be compared to a female.”

“The only reason men think women are weak is because they have no clue what we endure monthly or during pregnancy and childbirth. No clue. I went through major gore before an emergency hysterectomy, so gore in movies is nothing I haven’t seen before. My husband nopes out when there’s too much splatter.”
