you are not crazy

You are not crazy.

Your feelings are facts.

And oppression is real.

This week’s podcast is for every time your coworker said something offensive to you, and you thought you were being too sensitive. You are not crazy.

This week’s podcast is for every date you’ve been on and came home feeling gross and misused. You are not crazy.

This week’s podcast is for every conversation you’ve had with someone who took your power away from you. You are not crazy.

And this week’s podcast is for every time you looked at the system and realized it was not set up to protect you. You are not crazy.

Your feelings are facts. Your story is yours. And this system is set up to make you feel crazy for it.

“I never talked about these things publicly because, as a woman, it has always felt like I may as well have been talking about the weather. Stories like these have never been taken seriously. Women are shamed, told they are uptight, nasty, bitter, can’t take a joke, are too sensitive.” Molly Ringwald

You are not uptight. You are not nasty. You are not bitter. You are not too sensitive. And you are not crazy.

This week’s podcast is on what to do next. Listen. Share. Stand up.
