The Human Condition-- philosophy about real life

Dec 14

quote Many of the riot grrrls had been taught by at least somebody—if not a parent, then a supportive teacher or coach—that they could do anything they wanted, and that there were no barriers. Then they found out it wasn’t true. Hello! Confusing! They could do anything except stop shaving their legs, anything except wear that skirt to the party, anything except play drums without being exclaimed over like some sort of circus seal, anything except choose sex and not get whispered about as a slut. Why on earth wouldn’t a teenage girl be confused, depressed, anxious, angry? How the hell could she not be?
