“In a world where women are put down for being too slutty, too prude, too loud, too quiet, too ANYTHING, the word basic just adds another arrow to the arsenal of ways people can put down women”

Yup. All that you mention are ways to “ put down” women. They also assist in keeping women silenced. As in: I better not speak up about (X) because they will think I am too loud/too opinionated / not nice/ and so on.

Thankfully more and more women( and men) are pushing back at this. Yes, “more” is good, just not enough. For real change and progress we need these numbers to explode .

There is that old, old classic movie with the appropriate expression “ I am mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore”
