Habit shifts #8 - We are women

- practical actions that can be taken to fight internalized misogyny

Why: Are you a girl? A girls’ night out. Going out with the girls. The cool girl speech. Do you like girls? This girl I just met… Why? Why do we call ourselves girls? Why do we refer to other women as girls? We are no longer children. We’re grown-ups, out of our parents’ houses, fending for ourselves, carving up a life and living our dreams and being depressed and sick, but also falling in love and walking in forests and meeting up for coffee. We’re full human beings. So why do we keep calling ourselves children? Who’s really afraid? Men? We’re no girls, we’re full-blooded women. Calling each other girls infantilises us, destroys our credibility, makes us feel like we’re not in control, like we shouldn’t be in control. Being a girl denies us agency, denies us power, makes us feel smaller than we actually are.

How: Start calling yourself what you are, a woman. At first it feels weird, a foreign word in your mouth, but bear with it. This feeling passes, it becomes easier, you settle into it. The women’s team. The women’s bathroom. Two women from downstairs came up the other day. I’m attracted to women. The woman I love. Keep saying it. You’re a woman. You’re a young woman. You’re an old woman. You’re a woman who’s eating chocolate. You’re a woman dancing. You’re a woman taking out the trash. You’re a woman with short hair. You’re a woman emptying your menstrual cup. You’re a woman staring at the night sky. You’re a woman curled up under your blankets. You’re a woman walking on fallen leaves. You’re a woman when it’s rainy; you’re a woman when the sun is out. You’re a woman, not a girl. So are they; they are women.

There are other women like you. There are other women who think the way you think, who feel the way you feel, who act the way you act. There always have been and there always will be. Womanhood isn’t whatever shallow archetype the world has tried to convince you that it is. It’s going to be okay.

Don’t Miss These 7 Spectacular Sights Of The Summer Sky

“The summer skies are there every years to offer us a respite from the hardship of our daily lives, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, they remain one of the few sights that almost all of us still have some opportunity to take in. On a clear night, overhead, an enormous but brilliant collections of stars known as the Summer Triangle dominates the skies this month. If you head outside and attempt to view any of the transient sights out there — the Moon, Comet NEOWISE, the planets, the meteor shower, etc. — take some time and enjoy these deep-sky objects, too.

The night sky is always out there for anyone curious to explore it. Even with the ever-increasing number of satellites and the (sometimes severe) light-pollution that we all must reckon with, these natural wonders are just as intrinsically spectacular as they’ve ever been. Turn your telescope or binoculars up at any or all of these seven objects, and you’ll be looking years, centuries, or even millennia back in time, from giant collections of stars to a preview of our own Sun’s death. The Universe, when you see it for yourself, never disappoints.”

Have you been going out to see the Moon at night? How about Comet NEOWISE? Maybe Jupiter and Saturn? Or perhaps you’re planning on viewing next week’s Perseid meteor shower? While you’re out there, take a glance towards the heavens and notice that giant “triangle” overhead. Inside it, there are seven spectacular sights that any telescope or pair of binoculars can reveal to you.

Even if you have no experience with telescopes at all, these seven objects are well within your reach. Here’s how to view them for yourself.
