unapologetically a STEREOTYPICAL woman

In cinema, women who take pride in their appearance by investing time in their makeup, hair, and outfits while also indulging in the finer things in life are commonly villainised. Whether it is loving to splurge on materialistic things, such as expensive clothes and jewellery, handbags, or shoes—the portrayed women are usually always the antagonist. Take Highschool musical. Sharpay, a woman who prided herself on her appearance was solely obsessed with status and boys. The Devil Wears Prada. Andy was portrayed to be less inclined with her appearance and therefore the most ’kind-hearted‘ character within her workplace, while the other ladies who were equally diligent at their jobs and who also worked equally long hours and busted their butts were portrayed to be snubbish and rude. As Andy then moved on to change her appearance, she maintained her self respect but lost it from her partner (to me this heavily reinforced the notion that ‘boys don’t like women who spend money on their looks blah blah blah they just want a ‘real‘ woman) due to her changing appearance and her dedication to her job. Legally Blonde. She never did it for herself in the first place, she did it to prove herself to her ex-boyfriend. She ended up becoming an awesome lawyer at the end but I hated that she started off ditsy and they couldn’t even get her character to be somewhat professional for a Harvard Interview tape, really undermining her professionalism. Grease. Dany loved Sandy. AND SHE STILL CHANGED HER WHOLE STYLE FOR HIM AT THE VERY END. In these these movies, it’s also common for the more ’tom-boyish’ women to tear down the more ‘feminine’ women, which in my personal experience unconsciously led me down the same behaviour path while I was in my impressionable teen years. Women so focused on tearing other women down. For the longest time growing up, I detested the colour pink and I hated wearing makeup and dresses. Instead, I skateboarded and played soccer and video games on my DS and PSP (which I loved to do) while I was secretly jealous of my sister’s pink barbie dolls and sparkly dresses. All these movies that I grew up watching, although I didn’t know it then, looked down on the idea of enjoying the feminine things in life—especially to get a boys attention. As an insecure kid, it really messed me up, thinking the only way I could get a boys attention was rejecting the things I secretly liked. What young girls needed was a mix of representation of strong women while not vilifying a lifestyle. It took a lot of self-reflection and development as well as maturity to unlearn the inherent behaviour patterns that I learnt through the media I was consuming. Especially unlearning the phrase a lot of teen girls are familiar with: “girls are too much drama.” No, girls are not too much drama. It is okay to like pink, to like makeup and dresses, to be materialistic and enjoy collecting shoes and bags. The right man/partner for you won’t care what you choose to do with your appearance, but will encourage you to be happy. And most importantly, you will be happy. As a 23 year old Civil Engineer by trade, women are awesome. No matter their style preference or job choice. I like materialistic things, I get my nails done once a month, and my eyebrows done once a fortnight, and I love to shop for clothes and handbags. But I‘d also like to believe this isn’t my soul personality trait, I like to go to the gym, I am a big gamer and I love to read, I’ve been watching anime since I was nine, and playing in the mud on rainy days is still a fun secret hobby of mine. I also would like to believe that I am a good person who is also good at what I do, and that I also possess my own drives and passions, despite my love for pink and Christian Dior.

TO SUMMON MINT GOD

*only do this when you MUST get FLY and exude unspeakable and ineffable confidence where ppl will probably call you a cocky asshole* recite this prayer: Dear Haters, You can all suck my balls from the back and my dick from the front. I was born to be great. you were all born to debate my greatness. Clearly we are not the same. in times of uncertainty I stand tall. Even when alone, my spirit is guided by God’s invisible hand who shields me from the bullshit. A back this broad was earned by climbing to places most could never reach. If theyve never seen these heights, how could they comprehend my perspective? Anyone with something negative to say is miles beneath me with mushy shit in their pamper and piss dribbling down their soft, weak legs. Thank you mint god for humility. Thank you mint god for strength. Love, (Your name) And although I may not appear in the physical form, you will feel an aura of mint purple surrounding you and a genuine earthy sense of pride in your chest to continue on your mission, no fucks given.

Weird women!!!!

i Am a proud fan of weird women!!! Newest weird woman acquisition: the cute shy girl from my MBA program with a curly bob and red highlights. Shes so quiet and shy, we’ve had every class together so far over 3 semesters and barely ever spoke aside from her saying happy Valentine’s Day to me in February. Fast forward to this semester I sit next to her first day of finance class and decide to Be friendly and chat. She’s quiet but cool so I get her number, offer to maybe study later in the semester (which is a mild courtesy as I was lowkey just gaining new allies in the class to assist with cheating). But once I started texting her about class we just never stopped texting, and now I think we’re actively flirting? Shes into dark romance novels? she brought one of her novels to class yesterday and after class she snuggled up against me in the hallway and made me read a (very graphic) page about a girl getting fucked by a gun? This chick is nuts. Am I catching feelings?
