I feel like I can’t be feminine and taken seriously at the same time.
I have to either be a child or act like a man to be given worth and acceptance.
Strong women are considered to be confusing—troublesome.
I don’t know how to be a strong woman because the only definition of strength I’ve been taught is to act like a man.
When I try to act strong,
I deepen my voice.
When I visit a sketchy area,
I dress like a man.
To me, being strong is equivalent to being a man.
