“Stop acting like a princess! You’re acting like a princess!! Ooh… little princess… boo hoo.”
Parents talking to their crying, four-year-old son. (via microaggressions)
We need to start calling out this kind of behavior as the emotional abuse it is. And talking about how this kind of abuse both oppresses men and teaches them to have utter contempt for women at the same time - this little boy is learning about how he’s supposed to behave, learning to associate undesirable behavior with women, and learning to be afraid and contemptuous of gender nonconforming people.
(via arewomenhuman)
This makes me sick to my stomach. And meanwhile, these same people are probably telling their daughter that she is their “little princess” and enforcing the notion that for people who present as girls, that’s the best there is.
