It is important to recognize the struggles women have in our society. An easy example of the bullshit that went on was the mandatory skirt rule for women. Just amazing bullshit flying in the face of practicality – as in hey, it is minus 20 outside, NO PANTS FOR YOU!
Men don’t have to deal with egregious bullshit like this and yet it is a common assumption made that the male/female experiences in society are roughly the same.
They aren’t.

It might seem like something that belongs to the past, but when I grew up (born in 1989), I wasn’t allowed to wear pants at all. You won’t believe how much I like them now. Although my family still can’t know that I actually own such garments.

Wow. Isn’t that weird? But it seems to be the sort of thing many take for granted. Another point perhaps, for the importance of passing down her herstory to the next generation.

Absolutely, we should always take care to remember that the things that we have aren’t shared by all of our sisters.
