All women (and I mean ALL) are on the pick-me spectrum. No woman is immune to patriarchal indoctrination, even if she grew up in a matriarchal household. We're all initially on the pick me spectrum. Thing is, are you deconstructing patriarchy? Are you deconstructing the socialization and deep-rooted programming? Like, are you putting in the work to actually change? Because calling yourself a "girl's girl" means NOTHING. Bashing overt pick-me's doesn't automatically absolve you from what little pick-me tendencies you have. Calling yourself a feminist means fuck-all actually.
And being male-centered doesn't mean you wouldn't pick your female friends over a man any day — although that's more of an extreme example which harms those outside of you. Being male-centered / pick-me could be as 'harmless' as planning your future around an imaginary man or seriously waiting for a man; "Oh I want to move to Paris by 30 but I can't because I want to meet my husband first", "Oh I'm studying hard only so that I can meet a very educated accomplished man when I'm educated and accomplished myself", "Oh I plan on moving to Spain only when I'm with my future boyfriend 😁✨". When you have to halt your plans or dreams to prioritize a man/imaginary man, that IS male-centered. When you center a man/imaginary man around your plans or dreams, that IS male-centered. Putting your wants + needs second for a man/future man is male-centered. Women are socialized to center men in even the "little" things.
Hey 💌 I’m Saja — a mother trying to hold onto hope through days that feel impossibly heavy.
I know you probably see a lot online, but if you could take just a moment… I’d be so grateful.
💫 A reblog of my pinned post could help our story reach someone who cares.
🌿 And if you’re in a place to give, even a small donation could bring comfort to my daughter and help us feel safe again.
@sajagz, thank you for listening.
Even gentle support creates strength.
From one heart to another — thank you 🤍

Hi, my name is Mosab , I’m from Gaza, and like many here, I’ve lost more than I ever thought I could bear — my family, my home, my sense of safety, and the simple moments that once gave life meaning. 💔
I’m not writing this to ask too much of anyone. I’m sharing a piece of my story — not because I want sympathy, but because I still believe someone, somewhere, might care enough to listen.
If this message finds you at the wrong time, I understand.
I’m truly sorry if it feels like an interruption.
➡️ Please feel free to DM me if you'd rather not receive asks from me — I'll make sure not to contact you again. 🤍
Every repost, every bit of care, helps keep hope alive in a place that has seen too much darkness.

Wishing you peace, healing, and comfort — wherever you are.
With deep appreciation

i fucking hate how people are so comfortable using mental illness as an excuse for abusive behavior these days, especially when it comes to misogyny.
no, your favorite actor did not beat his girlfriend because he has bpd, he did that because he is a piece of shit misogynist who only sees women as objects. no, your brother does not make rape jokes because he's autistic, he makes rape jokes because he hates women.
plenty of people with mental illness go through life without acting like actual monsters, especially women. because the behavior that is considered acceptable from men is the same behavior that women would be hunted down like witches for.
i have finally moved out from my pretty much toxic family. I made this comic when I literally had a break down while packing my things (im ok now)
Right now I'm living at my friends' place and I would really be grateful for any financial help in renting my own room
Even a dollar or two would really help http://paypal.me/fiznaru
please reblog 🙏

Like do not push their buttons though. However, with personal experiences with the Taurus portion of Krittika they are more likely to get angry and rage for like 10-30 minutes and then the next minute-

women who speak out against other women for men makes my ass itch bc WHY!??????
half of the time the women who do this the minute they change their rhetoric and start pressing men, men turn from “your so beautiful”, “your doing gods work”, “finally a women understand us”, to “YOU BITCH” and degrading her REAL QUICK
