There is a correct way to be a woman, and, no matter what you are doing, you are doing it wrong.

That is one of the most intrinsic parts of being a woman in this world. There are rules in place, rules stacked and twisted like an MC Escher staircase, almost impossible to follow, and to get it right, usually, we are told to strip ourselves of qualities considered “feminine.” Our emotions make us unstable, “crazy.” Our rage is unbecoming, unladylike. We stuff our rage, our pain, our feelings — we hide them under whatever attempts of a cool facade we can muster. And then that’s not right either. We’re not feminine enough, too masculine, trying too hard.

To be a woman is a Kobayashi Maru: It’s a game deliberately set up in a way that we cannot win.
