Réplique

It's literally impossible to be a woman.

You are so beautiful, so smart, and it's kills me that you don't think you're good enough.

Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow we are always it wrong.

You have to be thin, but not too thin, and you can never say you want to be thin, you have to say you wanna be healthy, but also you have to be thin.

You have to have money, but you can't ask for money, because that crass.

You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean.

You have to lead, but you can't squash other people ideas.

You are supposed to love being a mother, but don't talk about your kids all the damn time.

You have to be career-driven, but also always looking out for other people.

You have to answer for men's bad behaviour which is insane, but if you point that out you are accused of complaining.

You are supposed to stay pretty for men, BUT NOT SO PRETTY THAT YOU TEMPT THEM TOO MUCH OR THAT YOU THREATEN OTHER WOMEN BECAUSE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE PART OF SISTERHOOD.

ALWAYS STAND OUT AND ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL!

But never forget that the system is rigged, so find a way to acknowledge that but also ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL!

You have to never get old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never get out of line...

It's too hard, it's to contradictory, and nobody gives you a medal or says thankyou, and it's turn out that not only are we doing everything wrong but also everything is your fault.

I'm just tired from watching myself and every single other woman tie themselves into knots so that people will like us.

And if all of that is also true for a doll just representing a woman, than I don't even know.
