For me it’s like being called brave. It’s a thought terminating cliche, and the thoughts the person wants to avoid are about if there’s anything to do to avoid ppl having to go through the same stuff.

I find the idea of the “strong woman” really irritating. Times when ppl have told me I’m one have always been disorienting bc what I really wanted to hear from them was “what you experienced was totally unacceptable.”

But that’s the thing about being female, we are burdened w/ symbolizing concepts rather than just being listened to in a straightforward way. That’s why I hate a naked female sculpture symbolizing a concept. Sucks being a concept. Concepts don’t get heard.
