I Always Wondered Why I Heard Old People Here In America Say Things Like "I'm Sorry For You" When A Parent

I always wondered why I heard old people here in America say things like "I'm sorry for you" when a parent says they are expecting a girl. (not all of course but you would be surprised how many I've encountered with this mindset)

I know it is obviously rooted by misogyny just how in some other countries they say girls are "easier" than boys. They are not easier, people just decide to control them more.

They are not more difficult either, children are children, when they have tantrums is because they don't know how to properly communicate their discomfort, but parents often punish it instead of trying to communicate.

But I think I finally understand why people in some places tend to say girls are "worse"

Because they judge and blame girls and women for EVERYTHING, they put all this weight on their shoulders and watch them crack, and instead of helping they just say "why are you being so difficult?"

"Take care of your siblings" "don't be bossy" "you are too loud" "you should smile more" "be nicer" "be obedient" "what was she wearing" "she didn't have to be such a b*tch" "she's playing hard to get" "she's dramatic" "hormonal" "on her days" "get over it" "you should be flattered he looked at you" "he just touched you a bit that is not assault" "why are you so emotional" "he is nice you are just delusional" "why would you lie? He is not like that" "no one likes nagging" "you brought this upon yourself"

Please stop!

Are you telling me the bullying started because Locke made it look like Jude was his lover while being with Nicasia?! And that even when Cardan figured it out he still tormented Jude because it was "much too late" to stop, Cardan, dude just admit you are obsessed, we won't judge you even if you express your feelings in a shitty way

But come on! Neither Jude nor Cardan wanted to back down, they are so petty and insane and I love them 😭😭😭

i love that nicola coughlan's legacy is talent, advogacy for palestine, great sense of humor and perfect breasts

In Jude we trust, long live the high queen! 🙇‍♀️

I got out of the reading slump and got a job, but where is my Jude content 😭😭😭

I'm going through a reading slump, depression, life problems, family issues, and studies while looking for a job. What would make me feel better? Thanks for asking!

Jude Duarte x fem reader, that would cure my soul completely :)

Cause tell me why there is no content about my (actually Cardan's, but let me be delulu) wife?!
