men are allowed to be so mediocre it’s insulting on the deepest level

Would you unfollow me if I reblogged this every single day? That is how often I think it.

Mediocre men get to make mediocre movies and write mediocre books about other mediocre men, but if a woman steps outside a door in a sweater and some plain jeans, she “let her self go”, “isnt even trying anymore!”

if a man creates something mediocre it’s just “a bad book” or “a bad movie”.. if a man is a bad leader he’s just, well, “a bad leader”

if a woman creates something mediocre, or if a woman’s a bad leader it becomes about how “all women are bad at _____,” or about how “no woman is a natural leader”

and that’s a really disheartening fact to all women. men are always allowed to be a work in progress. women always have to be the flawless finished product.

men are always allowed to be a work in progress. women always have to be the flawless finished product.

True also in STEM. See this xkcd comic:
