@dr.shawna: Ari Kytsya’s skit sent me down a rabbit hole, because it is such a clever punchline that says so much about how women’s identities shift and take on different meanings because of something scholars call relational autonomy. In part 3 of 4 of this series of hot takes with citations, we unpack that concept along with relational roles to explore how our expectations of women are shaped by their proximity to men. For more on that, let’s go to the research! #LearnOnTikTokContest #DidYouKnow #psychology #socialscience

so you think people should not adjust their behavior before and after being in a committed relationship?

Men see clubs as places to pick up more than women do I think. A girl group can go to the club together and have a blast without centering men. I’ve never really seen a guy group do the same without it being about getting girls or being wingmen.

You two would make a great podcast. But not in the same room, more like this. Split like skits and then social commentary, then wrapping it up together at the end. And sometimes you switch places.

You shouldn't care that I'm being hurt because I'm somebody's sister or daughter, you should care because I am a person with my OWN thoughts and feelings.

the first time I went out dancing after leaving my ex and being with my now partner I had a panic attack when I got home. he was waiting up bc he wanted to hear about how much fun I had, what music they played etc. I saw him waiting up and just knew the barrage of accusations was coming. it never came. instead I had a full blown panic attack. he just comforted me and let me process. I was so used to being attacked for just trying to have a good time and dance it screwed me up even years later.

i think it also stems from some men's lack of friendships, they don't do things with their friends and therefore cannot comprehend that women do

Ugh finally. I hate it when people say “she’s somebody’s ___”. How about she’s a person that deserves love/respect/autonomy??????

"She's someone's" also reminds us to care about the social impact beyond what the individual might have experienced. But yeah

I think the guys that think like that goes to the club entirely to meet potential partner and so think everyone going to the club have the same motives 🙏
