It’s a real thing. And women carry it around with them All. The. Fucking. Time.

We shoulder it like The Rock Stars we are. As straw after straw is added to our load. Parents, bosses, spouses, children, teachers, friends, neighbors — even strangers place their expectations on us.

We are to behave in a certain manner, do certain things, NOT do certain other things.
