Ok everyone let’s think beautiful thoughts about masculine women today.
“I would die for my kids” your children want an apology
would die for you but I draw the line at you being queer, trans, fat, mentally ill and so on
"I would die for my kids" but responds "FINE! I was a terrible mother!" if you try to have an honest conversation about something that hurt you.
what? oh sweetheart no, you're not weirding me out at all. you're weirding me in. keep talking, freak

The artist reposted it in 2024 "because it feels relevant in social media today".
when I say “Let me ask my husband”, one (or both) of these things is taking place:
1. I am in a loving, happy relationship where we value and respect each other’s opinion
2. I am using this as an excuse to get out of something I don’t want to do (sorry habibi)
what is not happening here: I am being oppressed
3. Brother I Have No Idea What Is Happening Let Me Consult My Trusted Advisor
One day I shall be that trusted advisor
"My liege you cannot attend that gathering, you have promised that evening to rituals of appeasement" (you promised you would rest and take some time just for yourself)
"My liege, there are worrying rumors about their trust and capability" (Last time they tried to plan something, it fell apart and you had to plan it last minute)
"My liege, you MUST attend to maintain diplomatic standing!" (You haven't seen your friends in a month and are saying you miss them every day, SAY YOU WILL GO)
You know, I made this post with a very specific context (how people see me, a married muslim lady in a hijab, and automatically assume I’m oppressed) but all these additions are absolutely sending me and the notes are delightful so by all means, please continue
