@stephanie.j.art: Sadly, I think a lot of women will recognise themselves in parts of Ellie’s story. Lazy. Difficult. Manipulative. Too much. Not coping properly. So often, what a woman is going through gets turned into a judgement about who she is. That’s a huge part of what Villains is becoming: not just individual portraits, but a growing archive of the language used to dismiss and reduce women — and a community where people can recognise their own experiences in someone else’s story. If you’ve ever been made into the problem, Villains in Ink is now open for submissions. You can take part through the link in my bio. 🖤
