Do. Not. Care.

This is so true. I used to think my value was based on my servitude to men and my looks. Now I only dress and doll myself up for me. I found out that I feel very sexy, classy and put together when I dress for myself. I also tend to pick out different things, the female gaze is vastly different than the male gaze, I found. More sophisticated and mature.

I sometimes also don’t give a fuck, and it’s wonderfully liberating. I’m still laughing at the look on the face of my neighbour when he borrowed some contact lenses fluid from me the other day for his girlfriend. I just dgaf and opened the door in my very comfy, very warm, very ugly and very bulky chill outfit. He looked so confused, lol. They’re not used to us not giving a fck and not performing. It really messes with their mind.

I live to see Regina George memes. I love that women are reclaiming traditional feminine icons that were used as villians and now using them in memes/internet culture because we understand that it was mysogny making us view women who were feminine as evil and making us "not like other girls". Movies like High school musical did the same trope 🤢

Lol I never hear of the other way around. “No woman wants a man who...”

Because we’ve always known that men would rather lie to get with a woman than change himself for the better. So why should women have to change themselves?

men do not like women who...

Then why do I still consistently get male attention? I do basically everything I've been told not to do (I'm masculine to the point of being read as male 95% of the time, not particularly warm, nurturing, or bubbly, have a postpartum belly that I don't obsess over getting rid of, am open and very opinionated about radfem topics) and I still have to fight 'em off with a bat.

It's almost like they really DON'T care if women age, don't shave their legs, are over 120 lbs, have confidence. 🤔

"No man wants a woman who..." = "No woman who does this thing I'm criticizing wants a man like me so I'll just generalize and flip the script to protect my fragile ego and insecurities"

I love it!!! I tried to post it yesterday but I don’t always have good luck in my posts going through

Lol. I love how men tell us that something we do or look like will make men not want us and we're going to fall apart! Like we care! Total projection on their part, cause they can't handle women not wanting them and think we're the same way 🤣

The best thing my mom ever said to accidentally inspire me to succeed was, "be careful about being too smart because men find it unattractive". I'm a lesbian and I teach STEM.

For the straight/bi ladies: If a man is turned off by your intelligence or success he isn't emotionally mature for a relationship.

Everything women do has to impact men in some way. Let us live our damn lives.
