This doesn't sound like a punk, non-conformist philosophy.
My own husband exhibits sexism, toward
me. He isn't aware that it's even sexism.
I was told to 'sit down, shut up, and do your job' by a boss my own age.
I have been discriminated against for being female all my life. By everyone around me. And it's 2016.
Come on, Sleepie. You don't give in. You keep going. Eye on the prize. And that prize is self-respect, freedom, autonomy, and agency.
You don't act in a way that's permissible by the bullies or by the world. You act authentically, your own way. It doesn't feel good sometimes, and there's no one to applaud you.
