What is it with German girls having to iron the laundry for their whole family?!? I had to do that too, from the time I was 12! I think our best chance of survival is a matriarchy, certainly *not* the patriarchy. I don’t want to do everything a man does, but I want to do what I want to do without any restrictions - whether it’s considered “female” or “male”. Don’t even get me started on the banking industry and credit ratings and credit card limits - there are not many industries more deeply sexist.
And we're in danger of being dragged back into more sexism, instead of moving forward. Feminism isn't about doing everything a man does - it simply means that we have the same rights and opportunities, and that we get to choose freely without limitations. It's such a simple concept, and yet the patriarchy is so afraid of it. They don't get that EVERYBODY benefits from it when all people are treated with respect and are empowered.
“The idea of teenage lolitas seducing innocent older men who can’t help themselves is so powerful that young—or underage!—women are crucified by public opinion for “ruining” successful, powerful men’s careers. How can a child “seduce” a grown man? It’s the other way around, always.” Say it louder for the people in the back! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The way media has distorted this narrative is criminal. But then again, blaming women for all ill in the world has always been a favourite sport of incompetent men who can't find a solution for their problems. It's infuriating.

I completely agree with you.
