Let me tell you something I’ve known for a while that you haven’t noticed: he likes you.

oh my god im so done with this bullshit. Bullying is still bullying, whether it is based on ‘interest’ or not, especially in schools, hhh

Natthas quoted4 months ago
Teachers were in the habit of saying that girls are smarter. Students also thought that girls were smarter, more mature, and better with detailed work, but they somehow always elected boys to be class monitors. It wasn’t just Jiyoung’s class.

I bet this is global phenomenon, or asian phenomenon

👍Worth reading

This is a type of book that makes you both sad and angry because you find yourself and your experience as a woman in this world in between every page. Growing up and going to high school doesn't mean just that; it means suddenly getting aware of how your male classmates perceive you as something rather than someone, going to a dinner organized by your male colleagues doesn't mean just eating something with people you work with; it means sitting through their gazes as if you're an animal in a zoo and getting pregnant and starting a family means getting rid of every dream you ever had.
The writing of this book flows so easily and is so simply written but that's because this is a harsh reality for so many women- it's those seemingly small things that society does to you that just build up inside of you and that make you start wondering "Do they even see me as a human?"
Seriously, this book should be given to every man to read because it's crazy how unaware men are when it comes to women's experience in this patriarchal world
