I am very tired right now. I don't know how writing this is going to go, but whatever. I'll try.
The media has convinced me that to be a "woman," I have to be skinny, yet curvy. I have to have beautiful hair that will always look nice, no matter what. I have to have a flawless face with no acne, no spots, just glowing, healthy skin. I have to be sexy. Basically, I have to look perfect. The thing is, perfection doesn't exist. I don't know how many times I've spent long periods of time staring at my reflection in the mirror, crying because I'm nothing like how I'm "supposed to be."
That's exactly the problem, though. People seem to think that if you don't look "perfect," you are worthless. I can't be the only one who has been brainwashed into thinking that. The media is powerful, convincing, deadly.
How many times have you seen an advertisement where the model is fat or heavy? Plus-size models are used frequently, but most of the women are skinnier models. We are convinced that we are supposed to look like them. However, if the average woman weighs somewhere around 160 pounds and wears a size 14, what does this say about us? Does it say that we are not beautiful? Are we not pretty?
The same thing goes for body hair. How many times do you see a model with body hair, whether it be unshaved legs or underarms, hair on their face, or on their stomach or other areas? We are told that we should be hairless on our bodies, when it really shouldn't matter if we are or not. Why can't we just let our hair grow and not have to worry about it? It surely would be a lot less trouble if we didn't have to shave our legs all of the time. Just saying.
The point is, we should just accept who we are and what we look like. Who cares if you have a little body hair, or stretch marks, or a nose the size of a tomato? It shouldn't matter if you weigh 90-pounds or 200-pounds. It shouldn't matter how you walk or what shoes you wear or whether you like dresses and jewelry or baggy clothes and trucks and playing in the mud. Think about it, which is worse: being who you are pretending to be someone you're not?

Dear Feminists, I'm Sick of You
Dear feminists,
I'm fucking sick, too.
I'm sick of the griping about defending your opinions and values.
If you can't stand behind it and protect it all the time,
get fucking new ones.
Not man-haters?
Can we talk about the
success that is #killallmen?
#endfathersday, because "all
men are rapists and abusers"?
I'm sick of hiding my anti-feminist beliefs
for fear of being doxxed or lynched by a horde
of rabid, pink haired topless assholes.
I'm sick of "what about the men" being totally invalid,
but when I ask what about the female rapists and abusers,
you can't be bothered to respond.
I'm sick of your statistics being generally
un-fucking

Dear Anti-Trump Rioters...
Before 2016 Election
After 2016 election
Dear Anti-Trump Rioters,
I want you all to take a look at these videos. Each and every one of them. Your behavior hasn't changed much in regards to the 2016 presidential campaigns and the aftermath of the election. Actually, scratch that. As much as I didn't think it was possible, much of your behavior seems to have gotten worse. After watching these videos highlighting your ridiculous antics, I have felt the need to get this off my chest and call out every single of you for your blatant intolerance for differing opinions, refusal to accept any constructive criticism or enlightenment, and unwarra

Ugly
My eyebrows may not be perfectly arched,
My lips might look a little too parched,
My eyes could hold a tad too much fear,
My looks may not land me a modeling career,
My clothing sometimes doesnt follow the trend,
My personality, you may not comprehend,
My fingernail polish might slightly be chipped,
My life may not follow the teenager script,
My skin tone may seem a little too pale,
My habits might make me appear rather frail,
However, Id rather be ugly through and through,
If perfect meant I was just like you.

I'm very tired. And sick.
I was supposed to write something short that showed my opinons about something so I guess this will work? I don't know and I'm too tired to care. The title is awful but whatever.
I wrote something. I'm done. Bye.
Edit:
I don't hate skinny women.
I personally find skinnier bodies more attractive.
I don't judge by weight, I judge by personality.
I also think healthy is beautiful..
I'm not trying to be mean or anything but don't eat McDonald's for every meal and not exercise at all and try to blame genetics for making you larger...

I often feel the urge to shave up my hairs and cut myself a scar on my cheek.... Maybe a pretty pattern... I just want to show everyone, i shit on toxic femininity. Im so fed up by not allowed to be myself, or that our bodys belong the society instead of usself! 😡
