What is it about a serious woman that is so fucking insulting? Is it that it’d make YOUR life easier for me to smile, and not formulate critical opinions on the world? Would that unsettle your day? Is it that we look prettier when we smile? Because women are for public display, and should function to please you? Or is it that women with conviction scare you because the things we say touch a deep nerve of truth? ..Are you scared? …You should be.
