love when men cry about body hair bc "it's hygiene" and yet 15% of cis men leave the bathroom without washing their hands at all and an additional 35% only just wet their hands without using soap. that is nearly half of all men. that means statistically you have probably shaken hands with or been in direct contact with one of these people.
love when men say that women "only want money" when it turns out that even in equal-earning homes, women are actually adding caregiver burdens and housework from previous years, whereas men have been expanding leisure time and hobbies. in equal-earning households, men spend an average of 3.5 hours extra in leisure time per week, which is 182 hours per year - a little over a week of paid vacation time that the other partner does not receive. kinda sounds like he wants her money.
love that men have decided women are frail and weak and annoying when we scream in surprise but it turns out it's actually women who are more reliable in an emergency because men need to be convinced to actually take action and respond to the threat. like, actually, for-real: men experience such a strong sense of pride about their pre-supposed abilities that it gets them and their families killed. they are so used to dismissing women that it literally kills them.
love it. told my father this and he said there's lies, damned lies, and statistics. a year ago i tried to get him to evacuate the house during a flash flood. he ignored me and got injured. he has told me, laughing, that he never washes his hands. he has said in the last week that women are just happier when we're cooking or cleaning.
maybe i'm overly nostalgic. but it didn't used to feel so fucking bleak. it used to feel like at least a little shameful to consider women to be sheep. it just feels like the earth is round and we are still having conversations about it being flat - except these conversations are about the most obvious forms of patriarchy. like, we know about this stuff. we've known since well before the 50's.
recently andrew tate tried to justify cheating on his partner as being the "male prerogative." i don't know what the prerogative for the rest of us would be. just sitting at home, watching the slow erosion of our humanity.

Starting a Routine
If you haven't already, you should get started on formatting a routine for your wash days and keeping track of what days you wash your hair. Knowing when you'll have your wash days and what you'll get done when they eventually come around can be more helpful than you may think.
One important thing to note is that your curly hair routine doesn't necessarily require a three-pronged binder, complete with color-coded sticky notes and alphabetically arranged tabs. Something as simple as modifying your digital calendar or opening up a new note on your notes app can help you arrange everything related to your curly hair regimen.
As I stated before, the frequency of your wash days depends on a wide array of factors. Chances are, you already have a general idea of how often you wash your hair. The only thing that remains for you to do is to set your schedule in stone by taking note of when you'll wash your hair. This can make it easier to work around days that you anticipate will be busier than others and allow you to make time for curly hair needs.
Another important thing to do is to start a routine. Searching up "curly hair routine for [your curl type] hair" on YouTube will give you a surplus of videos that give insight into what other people with your curl type are doing to take care of their curls on wash day. You should look through a diverse spread of videos to get a general idea of some common things people with your curl type are doing. For example, are they all using a hair diffuser on their hair? Are they scrunching their curls with a mousse? What type of brush are they using to de-tangle their hair? Once you have a grasp on what you want to incorporate into your own regimen, you can start drafting your curly hair routine. When researching, you should make a mental note of where your information is coming from. Videos with more views are not necessarily more reliable or objectively beneficial. Plus, videos that are posted or sponsored by a particular brand, especially one that specializes in selling hair products, may be biased toward showcasing specific items.
