Being Feminine

Okay, maybe I used the wrong title for this one, because it sounds like a guide on how to be feminine, which I feel all the time and yeah, I feel feminine even when I have greasy hair and pimple in the middle of my forehead, just not attractive!? This is by far most feminine outfit, I have done on this platform, and it’s in honor of all females out there. It’s kind of a cliché to be honest, a bodycon dress and high heels? Hell yes! Well, to be honest I started to feel feminine in my second year in high school, but before that I was just one of them boys, because I was surrounded by them all the time. I never played with Barbie dolls, my brother and our friends made ourselves some kind of tubes to use them to spit some garbage and chewed paper on each other, damn… just to think about all the dumb things we did when we were kids!? It’s still weird dressing up and putting on makeup, and I’m still asking myself why I am so bad at doing make up? Well, my childhood is the result of that so…

Yesterday was the International woman’s day and I couldn’t be more proud and happy to be a woman… ❤Well, if we eliminate all those horrible cramps and pimples from period, and cursing every month: ”Why dear Lord, why did you made me a woman?!” But seriously, I couldn’t be more honored to be a woman! I will not talk about feminism, since it still is the most delicate topic (which is sad) and everybody has their own opinion about it, which I respect but not always agree on! But I’m going to finish this post by the most powerful quote of them all:

We teach girls to shrink themselves to make themselves smaller. We say to girls: “You can have ambition, but not too much, you should aim to be successful but not too successful otherwise you will threaten the man.” Because I am female I am expected to aspire to marriage, I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important. Now marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support, but why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don’t teach boys the same? We raise girls to see each other as competitors not for jobs or for accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of men. We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings In the way that boys are.

Feminist: the person who believes in the social
Political, and economic equality of the sexes
