Why Women Aren’t Crazy (via lagrandefille)

I hate when people claim that women are crazy or complicated or don’t know what they want because fuck you. When a woman is vocal about her opinions, desires, feelings, you call her a bitch or crazy or hysterical. Women have been taught that the only way to communicate while maintaining their physical and emotional safety is to be indirect.

i feel like i have to filter my feelings somehow at all times. i made someone cry a few weeks ago at school. i didn’t even insult him. i was expressing a critique about his art. at art school. when the guys do it, they’re informed and ‘probably right.’ when the women do it, we’re crazy overachievers. i find myself having to say, ‘i mean, maybe it’s just me, but…’ or ‘well, this is just my opinion…’ all the time. why am i afraid to say what i really think when no one else seems to be?

yes yes yes; softening your criticism with ‘i mean, i think it’s fine but maybe the prof won’t, he’s kind of a douche!’ and pretending like sexist jokes and violent statements aren’t creeping you out - ‘haha, yeah, i mean that skirt is pretty short but i don’ t know’ and then you look down at your drink and shrug when your friend asks you later why you were so quiet the rest of the night
