feminist

listen. i don't think of myself as a feminist. i mean, i believe that women should be given the same power and opportunities as men. doesn't that make me a humanist? an equalist? or fuck it. call me a feminist. i a proud to support women.

and i know relationships are complicated. i know how no one on the outside can know what is really going on. i have been there.

but come on. buck up.

have a conversation.

don't go starting something new while your devoted wife or your tiny kids sit at home waiting for and loving you.

and all you women out there. fall in love. believe in things. but don't forget your career. don't make yourself the third priority, behind him and them and whatever else. make him wait for you. take turns. make your own money. sow your own land.

because i spend my days planning budgets and giving credit counseling to strong women who lost their savings account and their credit score to the man who used their credit card to fund their addiction or the boyfriend who loved them so much they gave them a broken arm and two kids before leaving with her best friend.

and i'm getting kinda tired of this shit.

get it together guys. you aren't giving your kids much to believe in.
