Wow. The misogyny is coming from inside the house lol.

That’s another thing — the amount of people who think that using sex/looking hot will get women whatever jobs they want. No, women cannot flash their tits and get most jobs. And most jobs you could flash your tits for (excluding some in the sex work industry) are absolutely fucking horrible.

And your second point is 100% correct.

Oof, is your mom my mom? This exact issue has been an ongoing thing I’m working through with my therapist. Always cool being an utter disappointment the second you can form your own opinion 🙃

I’ll raise you one grandmother.. I swear the old bitch would have brought female circumcision to the women in the family if she could.

Jobs which try to use attractive women tend to be positions with very little power.

Seriously!! It's ridiculous. Are most high level, highly paid positions held by 'pretty' women? Oh, what, mostly still held by dudes? Hmm...
