‘Big one for me is body autonomy for children. As a child, I was always forced to hug and cheek kiss every single person at a gathering upon arrival and when leaving. I fucking hated it. I love my family but forcing children to hug adults is very selfish on the adult’s part.

Now that I have nieces and nephews, I offer them highfives if they don’t want a hug and if they don’t even want that then I just tell them that’s perfectly fine, that I love them and will see them soon. No guilt trips like my parents did. Do I want a hug because I love them? Yes, absolutely, but their comfort is more important than mine.’

‘As a 39 year old woman: That a man’s attention is everything. I’m so proud of how young women are questioning men’s behaviour including the possibility of not having them in their lives if they aren’t worth it. That healed something in me big time.’

‘The idea that every hobby needs to become a side hustle. We’re taught that if you enjoy baking, gaming, woodworking, whatever, you should monetize it.

Younger generations seem much more comfortable just enjoying things without trying to turn them into a business. Honestly, good for them. Not everything needs an ROI.’
