That’s how societal norms change
Have you ever regretted:
- Smiling?
- Laughing at a stupid comment?
- A sexist joke?
- Or simply said nothing,
pretending it didn't happen?
Instantly regretting it, but did nothing about it?
I know I have. I know many of us do.
Each time we do,
we minimize it.
Each time we tell ourselves
“let’s not make a big deal out of it”
because we don't want to come across
as hysterical,
we validate and condone that nasty behavior.
But how can we say to the youngest generation that we are progressing
if we keep turning the other cheek?
Let's stop building on guilt.
Let’s stop building on emotional exhaustion.
Take a stand!
Call it as you see it
when you see it.
And do it because each time you do,
it's like acknowledging your worth, acknowledging women's worth.
Do it because
we deserve real progress.
Do it because
we deserve better.
Take a stand.
Show the world what progress is like.
Set clear boundaries.
Stop accepting less
than what should be a given:
Respect and Consideration!

Pitting women against each other to create some sort of conversation is just… boring. And outdated. Well done, Pink, for shutting down that narrative and honoring the Queen of Pop who opened the door for so many 👑
