It is literally impossible to be a woman.

You are so beautiful and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough.

Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow we're always doing it wrong.

And you can never say you want to be thin.

You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin.

You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass.

You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean.

You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas.

You're supposed to love being a mother, but don't talk about your kids all the damn time.

You have to be a career woman, but also always be looking out for other people.

You have to answer for men's bad behavior, which is insane.

But if you point that out, you're accused of complaining.

but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you're supposed to be a part of the sisterhood,

but always stand out and always be grateful.

But never forget that the system is rigged.

So find a way to acknowledge that, but also always be grateful.

It's too hard, it's too contradictory, and nobody give you a medal or says thank you.

And it turns out, in fact, that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also everything is your fault.

I'm just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie herself into knots so that people will like us.

And if all of that is also true for a doll just representing a woman, then I don't even know.
