if you’re a woman who says it’s easier
to have daughters than sons
let me ask you something
is it easier to teach a woman how not to be raped
than to teach a man
how to not rape?
I suppose the most difficult medicine to swallow
is one’s own pride
and it doesn’t help
if the rest of the world won’t help you
and either way
the loss of innocence is difficult to grieve
but one of those situations
only acknowledges one’s loss of innocence
some mothers care more about their own healing
than the healing of their daughters
but in the end it feels like there’s nothing to fix
if you can’t see what’s broken
if you’re a woman who says it’s easier
to have daughters than sons
I hate you
but probably not as much as you hate yourself
Very relatable. I once heard a mom with a baby boy say how easy it was as compared to looking after a baby girl and I was quite shocked at the idea that gender makes parenting less or more work.
Fudge It!

Yes, it’s so surprising to hear! I’ve heard a few mothers say this and it baffles me.
