There is no talk of deposit, you know, apart from a fucking bunch of flowers like once a year on the anniversary if it's remembered.
There isn't much emphasis on society depositing happiness and women.
Even wellness culture is ultimately around making us look less tired than we actually are from the shit we have to eat all day.
It's all about the way that we look to society.
So little of what is actually invested in women is about our peace and our joy and our happiness and our pleasure.
I really like, I struggle with the way that self-care is packaged for women.
I mean, so much of my culture has now been turned into a wellness space.
I would like an extension of the self-care industry that also works on the inside rather than just finding a way to survive this world, which is what it feels like it is now.
But we also need to make sure that those conversations leave the upper middle class.
We have a lot of privileged women having those conversations, but we don't have working mothers of three having those conversations.
And that's something that I feel very passionately about.
It's like, how do we democratize this information and also rebuild a system in which women are not expected to be the dog's body of society?
Like my, my biggest obsession is preventative is like before we even need the refuge centers and the trauma centers, how do we rebuild a world in which, um,
not to be indelicate, but men don't like fuck up the world for us as badly as they do.
And I know that men also fuck up the world for each other in a way that I feel incredibly empathetic towards them for.
I know that they are in some ways as afraid of other men as we are.
