I see you and enjoy seeing you and, in fact, I think this is a fallacy (sp?), a trope repeated. And while pieces and parts might be true or feel tru to some, I am agreeing with you that there is both a movement to prove this idea wrong and a movement that maintains this idea. Both by women. Men don’t give this a second thought I don’t think. Most are just completely unaware. Do we have to work harder to be heard? Yes. Do we have to work harder to be paid more? Yes. But passion and drive remain alive and well and we need to spend more time fueling those things in each other than worrying about what others may think.
I literally JUST discussed this topic at a party! I don't remember why but I was telling someone that an older friend told me years ago that as a woman you become invisible after 40 and no one catcalls you when you walk down the street and this is somehow disturbing. And I realized recently that I don't get catcalled when I walk down the street but then I asked other people and we concluded that people don't catcall anymore! The younger generation is more enlightened and the catcaller generation apparently has died out!
