There were too many "they's" in there. I think that 1) you care too much what people think and 2) women are just as guilty (if not more so) than men are.
I have never felt like I needed a man. I want my husband, but I didn't "need" to get married.
The problem that I see with your "feminist" rant (which is really not "feminist" at all) is that you make it sound like society forces you to be a certain way. It's not true. If women truly wanted to change, then they would.
The feminist movement got women into the workforce, now women are complaining about. Either they say that people see them as lazy for staying at home, or that they "have" to work. Neither is true. It's just justification.
You should also read into some of the statistics on female "beauty". More women criticize other women than men do. Women care much more about vanity than men do. Women, in reality, have caused their own problem.
When asked what makes a women sexy, most men will not describe a runway model. They won't describe the fake, starved to death, bleach-blond, boob enhanced bimbo. They describe a healthy women who is comfortable with herself and confident, and who is more than "just a pretty face".
Women keep getting told how to act, dress, behave etc., and it all conflicts. |
Who are the people who keep telling "women" those things?
I don't care what people think about my life, and I never did. I also don't tell my daughter to act a certain way. She just does what she does.
