Ile lat mają dziewczyny,
kiedy opuszcza je błękit? Kiedy

ich czułość staje się ciepła
ich czułość staje się ciężka

zakładają domy, stanowią z ziemią
domknięty okrąg, tłuką filiżanki,

przestają pisać listy w kosmos/łączyć
czerwone róże z deszczami meteorów/znikać w internecie/
przygarniać czarne koty/uciekać do lasu/zbierać porcelanę/
szukać odpowiedzi na zapytaj.onet/straszyć na rozdrożach

#DylanMulvaney addresses #backlash to her ‘#DaysofGirlhood’ #song.

Released on 13 March, the #musicvideo ignited #debate over #lyrics referencing “#retailtherapy,” “#overspending,” picking up #meds, a “#walkofshame,” and a “#breakdown” tied to her #personalexperience of her own #girlhood.

A moving short essay by Emily Wilson about #girlhood, 2.500 years ago and now. I'm always impressed by the way writers like Wilson, Alice Stallings (who shows up in this essay) and Anne Carson really breath life into classical Greek literature and make it relevant to us.

The recent #AI #yearbook #trend made me think about the #girlhood I could have had

“I was intrigued by how it might let me have and hold something that had always seemed #ephemeral and #outofreach”

"The experience of girlhood is that there is no correct way to be, and if there was you'd fuck it up anyway.... The essence of it is nobody knowing what to do with you." —Sarah Marshall from the You Are Good podcast with a message to us trans women who came out as adults.
#YouAreGoodPodcast #girlhood #TransWomen #SarahMarshall

this beatles music is also forcing me to once again face girlhood (an ongoing theme of this trip home so far...with photos of my girl-self all around, some disturbing "little girl" art i saw at a museum, and a book i'm reading called "why be happy when you could be normal?"

this album ("rubber soul") is filled with song after song devoted to "girl" after "girl". and then a line like "you better run for your life if you can, little girl... hide your head in the sand, little girl...catch you with another man, it's the end, little girl."

i know every word & note of these songs. i loved them as a kid. as a *girl*. i was definitely carried away with the desire dripping from all these songs. one of them is literally called "girl".

(not on "rubber soul" but on a different album, there's a whole song devoted to the girls of the USSR! i knew it was meant to be funny, but as a little kid who actually *was* from that place, i loved that he was dedicating a whole song to his love of girls from where i was from! *i* was one of those girls! :flan_excite:​)

but mixed with all this love and longing for these various "girls", is that underlying jealous threat. and the fact that all these "girls" are actually adult women. they are objects of pursuit, then girlfriends, then "difficult girlfriends", then "wistful memories", and "jilted anger". i was like, "oh ok...so i guess that's who i am in these stories."

as a kid, i wondered "who is the weird "norwegian wood" girl?" or "why is "michelle" so mean?" but also, "why does he still want the mean michelle girl?" and "what the hell is the moral of the "norwegian wood" story?"

all these various pop culture stories about "girls" (who are actually adult women, although sometimes they are literal girls, because there are some extremely gross dudes out there), really affected me growing up. i knew that *i* was a girl, & i knew that being a "woman" was in my future. so i was very interested in learning all i could about what this future would have in store for me. i knew that for my mom & all the generations before her (in the part of the world that we're from), a woman's future was hella bleak. at least i would hopefully not have to endure forced pregnancy (most women in the past had little choice about whether they would have children. it was pretty much the only way to earn your keep, right? you couldn't work, couldn't own land, couldn't have a bank account...). but i felt lucky to have been born when i was & to live in a country where i could "be anything i wanted to be" (<insert 90s hillary clinton image here>).

but girls are very vulnerable. and i was very vulnerable as a girl. i literally didn't know anything about anything, except to not trust strangers! and adult men gave me many reasons to not trust them, starting from age 13, when i probably felt the worst about myself & my awkward teen appearance, but apparently for creepy adult men, i looked like a juicy little treat!

so in conclusion, i have no conclusion. the society i grew up in (mostly "america in the 90s") was filled with contradictions. men who devoted songs to women called "girls", while talking about "ending" them in the next song... a society that says you can "be anything you want to be", while never actually protecting you... and we're still living in that world today. the end.
