Can't be outspoken.
Can't be fat
Can't be skinny
Can't be too pretty
Can't be too smart
Can't win for losing.

Listen, boys have their own issues, start your own thread.

I would list the same “rules” for women, at least in my profession.

Get on tik tok for 1 hour. You'll realize how it messes with your brain. No teenager should be on these apps. Not how our brains evolved to live.

Yes, get your daughters off TikTok, Instagram, social media and their phones. All have been linked to reducing self esteem in teen girls.

The media and all their stirring of various issues is destabilizing society.

How many girls today think they might be trans, because the media is planting ideas in their heads?

Of course a certain % will be trans. The way the media is relentlessly driving the rhetoric, is destabilizing.
