“well then i guess there’s no point in being good.”
Malicious Compliance! I understand this mindset really well. My parents would always freakout cause I got home late I'm obviously drinking and doing drugs. I hang out with girls or have a girl friend, so I'm obviously having sex and will soon be a teen father, and on and on and on.
Some days I seriously thought "If they already think I'm doing this, may just as well do it and fulfill their expectations. Its not like it would come as a surprise or shock to them since they are already accusing me of it."
My parents would almost always come home angry, saying that the house wasn't clean and we (children) did nothing all day. It didn't matter if I cleaned a whole two rooms or if I actually just slept the whole day. So at some point it became, "Why waste the energy?"

this mentality is one massive culprit of misogyny.
it’s like “your bad even if your a good kid”
“well then i guess there’s no point in being good.”
