Why Women Aren’t Crazy (via lagrandefille)

I hate when people claim that women are crazy or complicated or don’t know what they want because fuck you. When a woman is vocal about her opinions, desires, feelings, you call her a bitch or crazy or hysterical. Women have been taught that the only way to communicate while maintaining their physical and emotional safety is to be indirect.

One of the best things a woman can do is stop apologizing. It’s hard, though. I’m still working on it.

One of my new year’s resolutions is to check every email and text before I send it and remove the phrase “Sorry, but…” from it.

I really relate to this. People accuse me of not expressing what I want or being indecisive and not assertive, but then I am called “crazy” or “unstable” for actually speaking up. After a while I give in and say, “you’re right. I’m sorry I’m crazy.” And I start to believe it. How do I get my self-confidence and assertiveness back after years of that??
