You have to answer for men's bad behaviour, which is insane, but if you point that our, you're accused of complaining. You have to be a career woman but also always be looking out for other people. You're supposed to love being a mother, but don't talk about your kids all the damn time. You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas. You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean. You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin. And you can never say you want to be thin. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow we're always doing it wrong. You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough.
