Oscar Angelciteerde uit2 jaar geleden
They’d done quite a lot of chores around the house since they were young, but they thought of it as helping out their busy parents and taking care of themselves, not learning how to be good women.

“I don’t understand. Half the population in the world goes through this every month. If a pharmaceutical company were to develop an effective pill specifically for menstrual cramps, not the ‘pain medication’ that makes you sick, they would make a fortune.”
Diana Catciteerde uitvorig jaar
The girls were disgusted by older boys at cram school, church, and tutoring sessions pawing their shoulders, stroking their napes, and sneaking a peek at their breasts through button-down shirts and T-shirts with low-cut necklines, but the girls couldn’t let out a single horrified cry. All they could do was remove themselves from the scene.

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

    Muy buen libro para poner en perspectiva las diferencias entre mujeres y hombres y las expectativas sociales de uno y otro.
