“I’ve been doing this since I was 10 or 11, and I’ve often thought, I’m so wrong for this job because I’m too serious; I’m a pain in the ass; I’m difficult; I don’t fit. But as I’ve got older, I’ve realized, No! Taking on those battles, the smaller ones and the bigger ones, is who I am.”
We think we live in a post-feminist society, and we do not. So we’re told we don’t need feminism anymore, that we have the vote and we’re all good. And I think, actually, that’s incredibly disconcerting because then when young women move into the world and they realize, ‘Oh, why am I not being paid the same? Why am I being treated differently?’ And they start to blame themselves, because they don’t understand they’re part of a historic pattern. They’re part of a much larger system which is working a little bit against them.

everything is going to change now, isn’t it?
Friendship goals
Emma is the perfect Belle tbh
