[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re feminists who value comfort over the male gaze.[/quote] Women don't dress for men, women dress for other women, even the indignant frumpy ones. The indignant frumpy ones think they are "choosing not to care" when they are often hanging around with other women who "choose not to care" so basically they are sheeple just swinging in the other direction. I personally make an effort most days because I like makeup, dresses, heels and all of that, but yeah, there are times I DGAF and wear soft clothes with elastic waistbands. [/quote] Women you view as frumpy are simply enlightened. Women who continue to fuss unnecessarily about these arbitrary and in some cases harmful “standards “ for womens’ appearance need to wake up. If you continue to waste time and energy on these things, that’s bad enough, but telling other women what they “need” to do is way out of line. You contribute to the objectification and oppression of women when you perpetuate these “standards “. Focus on your health, physical and mental. The rest is nonsense cooked up to sell you products you do not need. Don’t be such a sucker. [/quote] Are women with messy and ugly homes enlightened? Are women with dirty cars enlightened? Are women with babies with spitup and slovenly clothes enlightened? Are families with messy yards full of weeds enlightened?[/quote] I think being dressed in a neat and tidy way is one thing, and [b]manis/pedis, hair curling, makeup, heels, and push up bras[/b] is another. These are only requirements for women, thus they are sexist. [/quote] None of those are requirements for women in our society. I know plenty of women who don't use/wear these things, or do so only to the extent to which suits them personally.[/quote]
