“You don’t have to be pretty.
You don’t owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don’t owe it to your mother, you don’t owe it to your children, you don’t owe it to civilization in general.
Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked ‘female’.”- Erin Mckean
I’ve always liked that quote, so wanted to share in honour of International Women’s Day. I’m a day late, but that’s just what life is like sometimes.
