I'm not that feminine. For all those guys out there who think a girl should slave over her looks I'm so sickened by your mindset. That is not fair, I don't ask men to shave their legs and armpits and expect them to wear make-up or pluck those eyebrows. I am so disgusted by these expectations! I will pluck my eyebrows and shave my legs when I want to. And when I walk around with no make-up I love my natural face, I don't paste on my face every morning so that I can compete with anyone.
I fucken hate this sometimes. It's so disturbing how the media has been stuck on what femininity is all about. I feel like the feminine movement has died. I don't like having people tell me how to look or what to do to look better because I am fine the way I am.
To hear especially that I don't look like a stereotypical Filipino girl is even more annoying. Am I supposed? What does a Filipino girl look like to you? Into the new trends by wearing lil sandals that look like they were inspired from Xena warrior princess? I don't look snobby enough for you? I look too much like I just woke up, what if I don't have time!? I'm not going to spend an hour and a half making sure I look good for SCHOOL. I swear words cannot even explain how disgusted I am. Then there is the issue of money. Women are worked on for profit by corporations for everything ranging from eyeliner pencils to plastic surgery. You're not pretty enough for the hot guy you have been eying, just slap on some fake BUTT pads, cover those blemishes, and get a boob job! Don't worry he will be into you soon...
AHhh!! It's frustrating, and people may think hey this is not happening to you - why worry, you seem so confident. Well let me tell you - I may seem confident but those ads and those words that circle me everyday wear me down. They like to demean you in those ads and give you a great solution. Bull....
Try being a woman sometime if you really want to know how I feel.
