Women's misbehavior can only go as far as men's proper behavior will support it.
These women want to brag about their failure to "behave" yet you can see the years of pain and suffering their poor life choices have brought them. Look at them, at their dead eyes. These are the women who end up in massive debt, trying to drink away their sorrows.
Look at them. Do any of these women actually look like they have joy or happiness?
0:42 look at the downcast look in her face. It well accompanies the huge sleeve and the nose ring. She tries to smile, but it looks miserable.
0:57 she literally looks like someone who ends up in the ER because she overdosed on drugs.
1:02 she has the look on her face of a girl who cuts because she felt rejected by a cool guy
1:12 she would rather eat alone than with married women because it crushes her to think about how long it's been since a guy actually cared about her.
1:23 she probably does smell like smoke, and her alcoholism is pretty plainly decimating her face. Any happiness and beauty she had is long gone.

Soo, just an ode to complaining about traditional gender roles? I don't get it. What's wrong with picking bridesmaid dresses? Lot's of women love doing that. And one aspect does not exclude the other, as if you can't, "bathe in bio-luminescent light", and at the same time be happily married?
Just a strange video to me. No, this is toxic. Encouraging women to despise normative society without actual reason and create conflict where there really is none. Pretending that there's some invisible force, (let me guess, patriarchy) who holds women down and tells them they can't do with their lives what they will.
And being well behaved isn't something bad. Men and women alike should have decorum. It lands very wrong to phrase it that way!
I would rather take a penis in my butt than in my sniz.
That’s Boring Being well behaved.

I tried to watch the video. But I just ended up not really caring enough to listen. Because I am not a woman. I can't relate to anything they are saying. I have never had to assert my "personhood". I have never had to feel like i needed to explain to someone my self-autonomy. I am not like the vast majority of men at GaG. The definition of my masculinity does not depend upon what women do, what rights women have or do not have. It not defined by some supposed inherited right or privileges because of me having a penis.
My masculinity is defined by what I do, by the stability, support, and security I give to to friends, family and loved ones. It is defined by my ability to provide the space for my loved ones to be creative and to fully be themselves. It is defined by how I treat others and by how I protect what is important to me and mine.
So I can't complain or whine about it. Nor can I really support it. Because again, I am not you. I have never had your issues.
I can only say do you. If you have an issue or if you have defined what you see to be an obstacle to your progress, then organize, fight, and do whatever you need to do to remove it from your path.
Because I know what I would do if I felt similarly.That was a sweet poem. It's like a modern take on Jenny Joseph's poem "Warning" which starts out, "When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple". youtu. be/8cACbzanitg
It is good when people are able to defy society to become their better, truer self.
I see some people in the comments didn't get that the message is not binary: it is not saying *every* woman must now hate choosing bridesmaid dresses, or even that there's something wrong with doing so. It was saying that that individual woman wants to have the *choice* to not get married, to not have children, to not sit in church. Our society pressures women to be "well behaved" and the poet is stating some of the ways she will refuse.
Personally, I prefer some other poems for defiance against the system. For example, Maya Angelou's "Still I Rise". There are a lot of good readings of it, but here is one of my favorites: youtu. be/7WZxb7lrhx4 . It was filmed at MIT by Indian dancers to raga music. Their description: "This is an allegory of the daily subjugations that women face in society when they try to break their traditional roles." As you may know, women in Indian society have even more pressure to be "well behaved" than in America. Women there face physical abuse and even death if they break the role they are given.All im able to take from this is they dont want to be the society standard. But to remind people are social norms are the unwritten behavior that are considered acceptable in a group or society. They are common which is why they are a standard. You dont have to be a standard. You can be whatever you want and do whatever you want. We have laws and society's standards, laws have to be followed because they are common standards which we agree are needed. Society standards are what we would say is what most people do
I agree. And I'll never be a well- behaved man. Society's insistence that I be married to be complete or honest doesn't affect me. My emotions, positive or negative, will never rule me. I will not give without expecting something in return. I won't be useful to people who are no use to me. I won't be criticized and then ignored when I have something to say.
This is so cringey to me lol
Its the rebellious child "Look at me mom! I am being bad!"
its all just desperate attempts to feel unique and garner attention.
Women have been propagandized to be in a eternal state of rebellion, i am not surprisedMisbehaved men have a pretty good lock on things. Be bad all you want. It's not doing much. Global corporatism is eating the world alive despite of all this non-stop "women who won't be silenced" bullshit.
Cringey and narcissistic as fuck. Who the FUCK cares? If you don't care what others think, why this pathetic need for recognition? If you're gonna do you thing, do your thing, you self absorbed attention whore. ME, ME, ME, ME, ME, ME, ME!!!
MzAsh, having read more than enough of your posts here at GAG to get a good sense of what you are about, it's pretty clear you are a very damaged woman. I genuinely feel sorry for you.
Women have a right to embrace a life of hedonism. They shouldn't complain though when no man wants them.
I have no opinion in either direction. women, as with men, should live as they wish. Zero argument can be had. Go do it.
Very gay. Those women are completely lost in life.
Then women wonder why they're not respected, grow upWe get it, do what makes you happy, go girl power, bla bla bla, whatever
Don't see what any of that has to do with being "well-behaved"Sounds like a bunch of women who have a lot of maturing to do.
I support women's hedonism if it's not even on one cent of my money.
I understand most of the stuff but these women are proud to say they don't want degrees, seriously?
I liked hearing it in diffrent languages.
It really didn't move me one way or the other.
Seems pretty dumb.
