    I urge everyone to look up the book Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez. The cultural patriarchy is crazy.

    Nobody questions how archeology is influenced by contemporary culture. When archeologists find a grave and goes “the body is buried with weapons and a shield, therefore it must be a warrior and thus a man. And they still fucking note how it’s weird that this definitely-a-man is smaller than other men from this culture, and his hips are wide, almost like a woman… But he’s a dude, he’s got weapons after all!” smh

      I got the audiobook and I couldn’t finish it. I just couldn’t. I felt so much anger.

      But what I managed to get through was fantastic. The part about public transport during winter was so eye opening.
