Does anyone else hate that meme about only boys thinking about the Roman Empire and girls (and some gay men) gleefully being like “I only think about [insert current pop culture trend]”.

And it’s like continuing the meme that boys are intelligent beings, interested in history while girls are just…not

This coupled with the girl math thing, and also the “boys when they time travel vs. girls” and overall bimbofication trend. We’e going back in time where pretending to be stupid and vapid was the norm and it just alienates women who are proud of their intelligence even more from other women

#more of a personal note #idk being looked down on for being interested in history by peers my own age #while boys are just praised for it #hurtssss #it’s funny because I never had trouble making female friends literally ever #not at school or uni and not really work at my casual jobs #but when I went travelling this year with a group #for the first time I couldn’t make friends with other women #merely being interested in the above hobbies made me dull and uninteresting to them #and part of me thinks it’s too do with this overall infantilisation dumbing down of women #:(((
