sometimes i wish i had liberal parents because it really hurt when my dad looked me in the eye and told me that women shouldn't be allowed to vote

It breaks my heart knowing my parents voted against my rights

it really hit me deep when at 12 years old my dad was explaining to me how women only try to look good for men and that me doing fun pre-shower makeup was just me practicing for men.

ikr it’s so devastating when the people you love the most in the world and you know would do almost anything and everything to help/protect you do just the complete opposite of that and vote against you and your rights it’s such a confusing and conflicting feeling too such a mental battle

and when he told me i don’t get an inheritance unless i give him grandkids but my brother will get an inheritance either way. or when he told me that women belong at home, knowing that i want a career. or when he encouraged my eating disorder. or when he told me i looked great after i got sick and couldn’t eat for weeks. or when he grounded me for coming out as pansexual. or when he yelled at me for being a whore the first time i did my nails (i was in middle school).

i could literally go on forever. i feel you girl. it’s honestly such a tough position to be in because you love your family but they’re too close minded to see beyond their own self interest and pride.

it's so disheartening when i talk to my dad and remember that he genuinely views women as less than men. he will constantly reference stereotypes about women and claim that they are 100% true. the way he talks to my mom makes me pray that my boyfriend never switches up on me and speaks to me that way once we get married. like i want to look up to him but his values and his mindset are SO different from mine and its devastating

yes! it makes it so difficult to even speak to him in a day to day conversation because i know what he thinks of me and my mom and it just makes me angry and sad. i don’t get it. it’s so selfish and close-minded.
