I’m an previous hag and NEVER mastered the artwork, and now it looks as if everybody can do it, and it doesn’t matter what, I nonetheless seem like a rodeo clown if I attempt.

—u/RooBeeDooBeeDoo
18.“Young girls speaking concerning the ‘divine female’ and being with a person who has loads of masculine vitality so you possibly can ‘chill out into your female vitality.’ This feels like a new-age strategy to speak about regressive gender stereotypes and roles to me.

Being comfortable and relaxed doesn’t make you extra female or masculine, in my view.”

It’s simply not for me.)”
23.And lastly, “Why the necessity for 5 events, two wedding ceremony attire, B and C lists, and quite a few different calls for… simply to get married? Just get married. It’s not that difficult. Save the cash (and extra importantly, the cash of your friends and bridal social gathering) for one thing that may truly imply one thing – charity, dwelling down fee, private enrichment in lessons or journey… no matter, the sky is the restrict. Spare your self the time and stress of going overboard to observe the brand new cultural norms.”
