I’m not going to deny that we live in a male-dominated society which consistently attempts to delegitimize the female experience. However, you are currently sobbing inconsolably because a Cheerio fell on the floor. Yes, “man” is still used to designate humans in general, but the Cheerio is not lonely under the fridge and it’s going to be fine. Women from all walks of life are constantly stereotyped and marginalized in private and public spheres. Yet, I still feel like it’s relevant to point out that you are one week away from starting your menstrual cycle, and shedding real, actual tears because of one Cheerio that you accidentally brushed off the table. Shhh shhh. It’s going to be okay. You’re not a bad feminist for crying at the Cheerio.
