Advice for the ladies:

-invest in yourself: you’re literally your greatest resource. Invest in your health, education, and mental health

-be as independent as possible. YouTube basic homesteading things as well as car repair etc. Most women find those things daunting as they are associated with masculinity but trust me, more often than not they’re quite simple to learn

-MENTAL HEALTH IS EVERYTHING

-you’ve been socialized your whole life to compete with and hate women. End that way of thinking and embrace your sisters

-trust your gut, especially about men. Don’t be afraid to leave a situation because you don’t want to “hurt his feelings”. Your safety is paramount

-stay away from older men. They prey on young women and wish to mould you into what they want. No matter how “mature you are for your age”, stay away from them and your primary focus should be on yourself

-always keep a little cash stashed away just in case. Also if you’re in an abusive situation keep an “emergency bag” full of money and items needed to make a quick exit. Have a burner phone with emergency contacts as well

-“No”, “Stop”, and “I’m not interested” are complete sentences. You don’t need to explain yourself when you reject people

-lift weights. No seriously. Make your body as strong as possible. Not only are women at risk for osteoporosis but society wants us physically weak so bulk up and get to lifting and make yourself a threat

-every time a self deprecating thought crosses your mind ask yourself “who benefits from my low self esteem”? Instead of buying superficial items, search within yourself and learn self love

-make sure you have 3 hobbies: one that keeps your active, one that helps you unwind/you do for pleasure, and one that can possibly be lucrative

-never put any man above yourself. You’re not a drop in the ocean, you’re an ocean in one drop
