BRUTALISM GIRLSM
Girlsjust wanna makesense.
Too early tobe pessimistic.
Born as a girl is like get the murdering done in a room with four white-clean walls. Sometimes, people ask us to be soft, gentle, and subservient. But at other times, they ask us to be strong, stronger than all Marvel and DC superheroes.
So confusing?
Too early to be pessimistic. There is still more confusion awaited.Namely, both must be balanced.If not, you have to ready being labeled by various suspicious images. If we are too soft, we will be crushed by people who try to look strong but, actually, they are weaker than us. When we are too hard, people will be antipathy.
But it seems better to be too hard than too soft. We can be destroyed if we are too soft. A lot of inconveniences have happenedif womenare too soft.Harassments,violences, and other nonsense things.

If we're too hard, at least, we were just told: "No need to get high education", or "It's a man's job. Just cook fried rice there." Well, because we have already used to being too hard, utterances like that are just like a baby lizard that will later slip on the iron fortress.
The complexity will turn into the fragile glass when we as women are challenged to look at and treat other women like how we want to be treated. What-so-called feminism exactly starts from the mind.
In other words, the author Pramoedya Ananta Toer said, "An educated person must have done justice since in the mind, especially in deeds."
Millions of women on Earth are born and grow in various backgrounds. Then, how should a woman look at the other women? Actually, we never really know.
Sometimes, there are still thoughts like this in our mind,
"Her cleavage shouldn't be seen, bich",
"OMG, she's wearing a burqa, scazyyy".
Yep, the patriarchy is taking rootso deep and firm in our subconscious. It's a challenge for us to be aware and patient. We have 8 to be aware to keep trying to fight

thevalve/of the judgmental mind.
UNAWARE.
But we also have to be patient, we have to understood that all women have their own ways of being Urban Brutalism Girls. Well, as long as her attitude doesn't hurt other women or people.
Here are some tips:
"Wow she is wearingaburqa, cool,Iwant to knowmore her culture.'
"Wowwhata healthy cleavage." (???Okay, maybe:) "Wow what a beautifulcleavage."
"Wowherduck face is so bitchy!
Heeeyyy, bitch is the most femininejob because their body is their authority. So her duck face, yo. "(???CMIIW PLZ???)
See? It's very complicated to be a girl. If you are aware and patient, there are other challenges for the girl's mind to be categorized as "civilized". Namely, trying to open up and embrace other women whose thoughts conflict with us. What's that for? UNITE!!! And then what? Surely, exchanging ideas Accepting and expressing are the easiest ways to understand and unite the visions. But the hard one is controlling the ego. You have to, slowly, more used ears rather than the mouth. If it is done continuously, our mind will get used to accept and tolerate any differences, not only about other women, but also about other sex, gender, religion, country, tribe etc. Whoa, is feminism giving impact to our live so big like that?
Well, we don't know. It's up to you.
Do you think we are the most dignified, most feminist in the world?
