👏👏👏👏 exactly how it's DONE✔️❤
👍👍👍 @Joanne ❤
Anna isy name so I was freaked out and thought it was some targeted AI content just for me. It was spooky.
Let’s normalize:
1) treating people as we would like to be treated,
2) men and boys expressing their emotions without fear of ridicule or shame, and
3) caring about people more than profit.
Please? It’s just three little things…
❤❤❤
I am a woman in carpentry. I work at a firm where I am the only woman. My first job was during a volunteer year in Tansania where I worked as a carpenter. I was the first woman in that particular workshop in a very rural and pretty traditional part of the coutry where women working in such a thing as carpentry or mechanics was almost unheard of as it was a mans job. I wore work pants most of the day but skirts and dresses in the afternoon and on weekends. Not entirely because it was expected but because I love wearing them. And I was "celebrated" for both.
Noone gets to tell me how I live my life. That is for me to decide and I am definitely strong enough to stand my ground. (Fun fact: in Germany we don't say "to stand your ground" but "to stand your man" :Deinen Mann stehen.)
You go girl, I’m right here with you 🫡
Amazingly put as always
The true problem is the sense of division women , and men, already seem to have. Everyone has there idea of what a woman or a man should be, even if it’s a neutral or open take. And when that’s challenged, it’s almost like we’ve been trained to question those traits, and be on the offense rather than defensive, always.
It’s over all the existence of gender based expectations that garner these hostilities, no matter what point around the pin you are. And it doesn’t give us room to consider.
I know I have my biases and prejudices and I am working tirelessly to break them down. Prejudice and bias are for cake flavor and burrito fillings. Not for determining safe and dangerous or clear right and wrong. And I know I may get flack for that, but I don’t know how else to word that.
I wish we could all embrace the differences we had… the Greeks, while not always the best comparison, had numerous words for various identities. So did the native Americans. Why don’t we live as we are. Love as we are
I completely get why people argue its already normalized but I guess to add more to the equation, it's moreso normalizing for women to be allowed to be feminine without the treatment of being inferior. In a way, fighting for wanting women to be more non traditional and be valued more only when she presents masculine traits, although provides variety, it makes it seem that traditionally feminine things are still seen as weak. So instead of getting rid of misogyny all together, its creating a narrative women can't be seen as strong or valuable unless they show masculine traits. Basically, women choose what life they wanna pursue and should still be treated like they're strong and capable. We should have the freedom to choose.
Choosing!!!
❤❤❤❤Aweeee Godesss… Louder pls… Words thoughts human on point ❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉proud of you
I agree with Anna, we should also normalize being a straight, white, cis man 🙃🙃🙃
Preach!
I didn't choose to be childfree. God did
Yep, like people who say they want to normalise heterosexuality again, like wtf 😂😂😂
My choices are not criminal. My choices don't effect the life of a stranger. The commenter believes her shine is brighter than the sun.
I’d tell Annamarie to go fh 😂
This world is so damn big I don't understand why some people want us all to be the same???? Normalise my a$$. There are people out there literally dying from hunger right now and you worried about some people not wanting to marry and have kids?? For god's sake
This right here is why I love u ❤
I love this. I love cooking, I love dressing up in dresses and skirts, and embracing my femininity. These are choices that I was never questioned abt. But I WAS questioned when the topic of future kids came up and I told my parents I would not give them grandkids. I had to explain to family why I wanted to focus on building my career and finances rather than getting married. This doesn’t mean a woman can’t do both, but it shows what is expected of us and what ppl find “odd”. Being a house wife is what is expected, not a career driven woman. Let’s normalize being able to live how we want without having to explain ourselves.
How about we normalize folks minding their business!
Anna, I'm blaming YOU for the U.S. not having ever been able to pass the E.R.A. (go Google it)
If baking is feminine why are all the famous bakers men? (It’s the case where I live, in France) if having children is feminine why are the kids named after their father?
Why do you cook with a ring? I have such difficulty wearing rings while doing anything. Im a teacher in RSA 😅
i do all three of those things as a gay man with a husband. gee, am i allowed in the club now?
Has it ever been denormalised to be feminine and become a mother as a woman?!😅 cause as a child free 34 year old, I always hear I SHOULD become a mother and most doctors probably wouldn’t tie my tubes without at least some resistance, since “I might still change my mind“😂
I mean, if you wanna play victim, maybe choose something that’s at least a little less of a stretch 😂
I think it's so telling that Joanne got this message – like was said in the video, it's about policing women. Feminism and choice mean everything.
I sincerely wish this energy would be directed at people who're actually doing questionable and/or bad stuff that hurt other people rather than people just living their lives, with choice.
I think you misunderstood this commenter. She did not mean that her points of view are not accepted by society. Or that she feels judged for her points of view. She wants her points of view to become the ONLY standard. The ONLY norm. Without exceptions. Because to these people, there is only one point of view: theirs. To them, every deviation from that very narrow path, no matter how small, is bad and should be punished.
Right it’s “normalized” or expected to wear dress, cook food, have baby. No one cares.
Lol let's normalize women being able to do whatever the hell they want. Whether that's children or no children-being stereotypically "feminine" or not. When we only uphold one archetype as "normal" we lose individuality and diversity
Fucking period!!!!!! As a mother to 3 strong willed queens, that is how I am raising them to think. Nurture their fire not extinguish it, be independent, marry if you want, marry for love not for survival. Have kids because you want not because it’s expected!!!!!! Work hard for your dreams!! And never let anyone ever dictate what your expectations are because you have a uterus!!!!
It doesn't matter what you do as a women we all get questioned by men and women "Why don't you have kids?" Or "You're just a mom!?" Or "why only one?" Or "You work!? What about your kids?" "Don't you think a man would be better at that?" The things I've heard from complete strangers I could go on.
🙌
that definition of what it means to be "feminine" IS misogynistic and made up by patriarchy
💯 I grew up wearing skirts and dresses to church and hated it. I am so much more comfortable in cargo pants and a T-shirt and some hiking boots. Let's normalize encouraging women to be whatever they want and cheering them on.
They want to be the victims so bad
You are inspiring. You really are! Thanks.
It's fascinating how many people who are well within the norms of society manage to convince themselves they're outcasts through the power of being chronically online.
