An additional dimension to "good girls"

This was the first episode I listened to but it compelled me to write a review. As it happens, I have discovered this kink very recently (I'm sadly quite inexperienced), while I was also going through a phase of depression and burnout. I had some additional thoughts to whatever you all said on the podcast (which I agree with!).

This may vary with cultures of course, but overall, our generation of millennial women, I feel, were brought up with a very broad mishmash of expectations of what women should be, that men did not experience. While my mum was brought up with the standards of being a good wife and mother, and that was a prison in itself, I was subjected to standards that included that and much much more. And though there is so much discourse about lack of male role models and the like, there are simply too few role models of happy functional women that really had it all (maybe because its not possible?). I was expected to excel at everything, not just what was stereo-typically feminine, and that wore me down. Nothing was ever enough. Of course we need validation for with, since these are all generationally uncharted waters. Hell, every now and then I have to remind myself, I am quite literally the first woman in my entire line of female ancestors back to apes (even in the most liberal cultures, you couldn't go deeper than probably second), that has both the social and financial capital to have an apartment to myself to live alone.

When I first articulated all of this, I was in the throes of a deep depression and burnout, where I was powering through a career defining paper, eating just bread and butter for lunches for lack of time. And in the same time, my not-so-busy male colleagues are very egalitarian on the surface and yet I had to be the sole person to step in to buy gifts for people who were leaving, and emotionally support a colleague who'd lost a parent, because let's be real, women still do most of this stuff. And I heard "good girl, you've worked so hard" in an audio that was F4F and just bawled my eyes out. I am not even attracted to women in the slightest, I was just listening to it for continuity in the Halloween tarot series on Quinn. I am not even much of a crier, I cry like once in 5 years, that's how much it meant.

I have rambled a lot for a review, I know, just wanted to express an additional opinion and gratitude for bringing this up, you've earned a permanent subscriber!
