Independent woman fail
So, I consider myself a relatively capable lady. But sometimes, things happen and you just need a man to come fix the problem. Is that so wrong?
It makes me mad at myself and feel like a disgraceful feminist to even type it out...sometimes I want a boyfriend. Am I weird? I'm reminded of this quote:
This week alone, I've been locked out twice, needed to reach a really tall thing (which I ultimately broke trying to reach) and have had surprise car trouble. These are the things that send me into lady panic. On all occasions I sought the expert help of a dude. Luckily, when the dudes in my immediate surroundings weren't there, my trusty, sweet dad of course was there. He's the best. He's been helping me get my S together for 25 years....
My mom is pretty boss too, but she helps with different stuff.

Tell me, internet, am I weak for even saying that? I need a pep talk.
No matter what you tell me, car trouble = a man thing. right?

Some things are totally man things. And you know what? I think it is a very powerful and humble place when such an independent girl can ask for help when she needs it. Absolutely normal and strong of you to do!
ReplyDeleteHey, dont feel bad. I think thats TOTALLY normal. I've had many occasions where Im like "yeah, I need a dude"....(case in point, the scratches on my car's hood that have been there for over a year because theres NO WAY Im doing that ish myself! Just waiting for a dude to get it done haha). No worries, girl!
