Yesterday, I saw a video on TikTok, the video was about this girl pointing out double standards on gender issues. I know I've written something about this, but I thought I could use a different perspective this time. I wanted to collect my personality triads that people have issues with, but in my…
So yesterday I watched a film about RA Kartini, and it got me thinking that I think most of us misunderstood her.
