WE HAVE TO WORK TWICE AS HARD WITH A SMILE ON OUR FACES AS THE WORLD NITPICKS EVERY PART OF OUR BEING. FIRST WE'RE TO SKINNY AND THEN WE'RE TO FAT. IT GOES FROM "OH SHE'S GIVING NOTHING" TO "WHY IS SHE BEING SO EXTRA." "Self management Issue" - Episode 3 | 6:42 - 8:43 IT SEEMS UTTERLY IMPOSSIBLE TO EXIST. "Kazuha crying" - Episode 1 | 17:25 - 18:41 IT SEEMS UTTERLY IMPOSSIBLE TO EXIST. OH AND GOD FORBID YOUR CONFIDENT THEY'LL CRUCIFY YOU FOR THAT.

We have to work twice as hard with a smile on our faces as the world nitpicks every part of our being. First we're to skinny and then we're to fat. It goes from "Oh she's giving nothing" to "Why is she being so extra." It seems utterly impossible to exist. Oh and God forbid your confident they'll crucify you for that. But I think that's why their so obsessed because well there's nothing more intimidating then confident women who knows what she wants.
