« sometimes, patriarchy hides in the smallest things. it’s a girl being told to sit properly, a woman being expected to clean up after everyone, or a boy being laughed at for showing his emotions. these things may seem harmless on their own, but together they teach us what society expects from each gender. we grow up believing that certain responsibilities and feelings belong to us simply because we are women or men. feminism encourages us to question these expectations instead of blindly accepting them. maybe real change begins with noticing the little things we have always considered normal. »
