#BreakingNews #Femininity #GenderExpectations
Can we just take a moment to talk about the fact that girls are still expected to fit into this narrow box of what it means to be feminine? Like, seriously? It blows my mind that in this day and age, we’re still stuck in this mindset that every girl should love makeup, dresses, and heels.
I mean, I get it, there are some girls who rock that look and love every minute of it. And that’s awesome! But what about the girls who couldn’t care less about all that? What about the girls who prefer jeans and sneakers over skirts and stilettos?
It’s like we’re stuck in this never-ending loop of gender expectations. But here’s the thing – not every girl has to be hyper-feminine to be a girl. Tomboys have been around forever, and they’re just as valid as any other girl out there. And even if someone isn’t a tomboy, it’s really none of our business to be judging them based on their appearance.
So, can we just let people live their lives without pushing them into these cookie-cutter molds of what a girl “should” look like? Let’s break free from these outdated expectations and embrace everyone for who they are, regardless of how feminine or not they may be.

That’s what feminism is about
That’s true There’s nothing more feminine than a woman being a woman is more than just a costume
yous are lucky, because yous can improve bad features much easier then men, where height and face are the most important features. (yous is enhanced english, meaning plural you)
otherwise, the world is full of tomboys and unfeminine women, never in the history do women have to obey as few social norms as these days.
do you have pleasant voice and nice smile and nice eyes? these are very important. and having great skin is also a blessing.
Feminine woman are overrated. We are perfect as nature made us
a big reminder to anyone reading this: please don’t conform to societal pressures, and please don’t try to enforce them
be what you want and do what you want as long as it doesn’t harm others
Brother what are you on, who doesn’t like tomboys??
Dude seriously, don’t fit in with the boys cuz I’m a girl but don’t fit in with the girls cuz I’m not that feminine:/
(im a guy) who said we’re judging you? There is this portion of the males who are and it is best you ignore them… Atleast 70% of the guys (me incl) don’t care, we love you nonetheless
I couldn’t even if I wanted to I’m allergic to makeup 😭
I like both traditionally masculine and feminine things, the most judgement I get is from girls, it seems to be a thing that we all must be the same
Is this post from 1920? who doesn’t accept tomboys ;-;
No one our age thinks this. There’s a couple of old dudes but other than that no one really cares, trust me. This is assuming you live in the US, IDK the case with other countries.
Edit: I’m fact, I don’t think I can think of a single example of a hyper feminine girl at my school (not that there’s anything wrong with being hyper feminine) the only time girls at my school wear a skirt/dress etc. is at like a dance or something, everywhere else they just wear pants and a shirt.
Imo doing makeup and nails doesn’t even make you more feminine.
Yep
preach
Makeup is just dumb, as a guy. It’s no different than using photoshop in pictures, really.
It’s how gender norms work. They’re a real bitch, but people love putting everybody else in their own box and telling them to stay there.
Shit’s absolutely brutal for guys too. So many people get it in their head when they’re younger that the only thing you can do is keep your head down and never get too far out of line for fear of bullying. There’s been so many times in my life where the crowd gets asked to get up and do something, and you know who does? Me, and a bunch of girls, and then maybe one or two more guys.
Last year I was playing Uno with my friend at school, since it was towards the end of the year and everything was pretty chill. There was some kid playing with us (I don’t really like him but I’m not mean to him) and I called him “bro,” out of exasperation over something I guess. And he told me something like “why did you say bro, you’re a girl,” and my friend and I sort of looked at each other in confusion lol.
Well said.
I actually prefer if a girl doesn’t wear makeup and do her nails.
Just like how guys don’t have to be hyper-masculine.
people saying no one thinks like this anymore, there’s more places in the world than just where you live. yes, some people still think this is the standard. even in america. even young people. maybe not dresses and heels *specifically,* depending on the place, but women are usually expected to maintain a standard in their appearance that men are not.
also i’d like to add shaving to the list of things girls are expected to do that shouldn’t be expected . let girls be hairy . love can win if we accept that hair is ok
Yes they do
