straight up i was talking to my mom about inservice where we all had to swim a 200. no cap no goggles which is relevant to me as someone w 3 foot hair. and i was like yeah i almost beat everyone except a couple men because they have short hair lol. and my mom was like 'um.. and because theyre boys? 🙂' NO CHIEF lmfaoooo. and then she started yapping about lia thomas 🥴🥴

#the budget for her mothers day gift next year: 📉📉📉#i mean. what haha 😀#when i say this i mean the dudes that beat me were hitting flip turns and the first time i tried the end of my ponytail got in my face #it was drastic #ALSO on a more serious note.. how the fuck does this happen to you within like. 15 years of f‌ox news #once again she used to be a bodybuilder 💀 why the fuck would she now be like #'it sucks that you had to swim with men instead of a special training for delicate little girls 🥺🥺' like?????#i think that she acts like i cant be strong/athletic because shes limiting herself to the role of sensible babysitter income source #but women especially older women/mothers can still be strong and thats a thing they can be known for/best at #shes just projecting her role in the family onto me because she doesnt feel satisfied in that role #but with all due respect thats not me.#im a fairly strong and independent teenager and i will not be stuck always second place to men #just because my mom has no faith in the strength of (perceived) women.#in addition i refuse to go into the role of the sensible babysitter because i dont have better self control by virtue of being a woman #that myth just serves to excuse the behavior of men lmao #and finally let the record show that i dont give a fuck about my moms perception of me #say it with me: i am objectively better than anyone who would tell a 16 year old that boys are always stronger than girls
