Women are always expected to be the gracious hostess, quick




Women are always expected to be the gracious hostess, quick with an anecdote and a sprinkling of laughter at others’ stories. We are always the ones who have to smooth over all the awkward moments in life with soul-crushing pleasantries. We are basically unpaid geishas. But when we do not fulfill this expectation (because we are introverted), people assume we must be either depressed or a c.unt. Maybe I’m a c.unt anyway, but it’s not because I don’t want to blink and smile at someone as they tell me they ran cross-country in middle school.
