Why doesn’t anyone discuss how society’s perceived ownership of the female body extends into parents who dictate everything their daughters do?

Not letting your daughters express themselves in how they dress, talk, wear their hair, or whether or not they wear makeup just gives them the idea, from an extremely young age, that their body is not their own and they must please others by making it look how theey view best.
Learn that before you have children.

Not only is this sexist. But its also ageist.

SCREAMS ANGRILY ABOUT HOW THE “GENERATION GAP” IS A THING MADE UP TO JUSTIFY THE IDEA THAT PARENTS SHOULDN’T UNDERSTAND THEIR KIDS AND SHOULD MAKE NO EFFORT TO BECAUSE WHATEVER, KIDS WILL BE KIDS, RIGHT? AND THEN SUDDENLY BAM SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY, PARENTS AND KIDS DON’T UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER. I WONDER WHY.

We are like overripe fruit,
Past its best-before date;
Still hanging on the tree
Beyond its shelf life…

And none will pick it.

Full of riches locked inside
But to the eye unbeautiful

All that’s left now
To dwindle and die on the branch;
And, praying only for release,
To finally drop to the ground

Unnoticed

To feed a new generation.
