Men should be men? What does that even mean?

My thing is, why do you guys care what these women do? How does it affect you? Most of you are gay so who are you to tell a woman what is and isn't attractive? Why should a woman focus around pleasing a man? Why can't she just be herself and love herself? Y'all are such trash.

She doesn't need to focus on it, but in the same way a guy will need to make himself attractive to people to get a partner so will girls/guys.

If you want a partner you will both need to make yourselves conventionally 'attractive', it works both ways.

But we do have a right, and you can do exactly the same thing. Girls and guys call people camp all the time and you don't get the same uproar

Not having people's approval shouldn't stop you. You just need to persevere and the younger generations will think this is fine. I'm not gonna stop you but I will not be convinced this is attractive because of my upbringing in my formative years

you do know that spreading your "no man will ever love you" propaganda is stopping a lot of women from taking charge of their own body, right?

Dead I see girls with hairy legs, arm pits and arms all the time.

I didn't know people made such a big deal about that until I starting going online more.

Nice. I'm a female and I personally haven't shaved anywhere for a year now I think. I love that I don't have to be constantly worried about it. I love it even more that I don't have to go through the pain anymore. And I love that I don't have to plan my clothes with that in mind.

Basically the only thing I had to start doing was only buying tops with sleeves long enough to cover the hairs. I started wearing a lot of pants and very long skirts. I can use short skirts but only do it in winter and wear leggings too which not only warm the legs in the winter, but hide the hairs as well.

This year for the first time I had the courage to go to the beach without shaving. I wore shorts so it wouldnt be too shocking. But I had no problem showing the armpit and leg hair. I went with my boyfriends family that thinks women should shave or they wouldnt look like women. Luckily they didnt say anything to me and I didnt even care if someone else looked.

I think its so sad that I have to live in fear of showing myself to the public. It took me 3 years to have the courage to go to a public beach without shaving. I'm hoping my confidence will build over the years and I wont be worried about hiding the hairs in the future...

Do whatever makes you happy. If you're comfortable with yourself, don't let others bring you down.

I don't know why so many femanists want to be men. With their shoulder pads and armpit hair. Let the men be men pls. You can be a femanist and venerate you're beauty and sex appeal no? There is nothing wrong with upholding standards, look at femanist icon Beyoncé photo shopping her instagram candids. Femanist should try to be pretty too, like her

If you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen. People will always judge you, you just need to follow your arrow. People will judge me for being bi/gay/whatever, I will just get on with it and y'all need to as well.

No. You should live your life how you want and make yourself how you want to look. Don't focus your life around other people. What you need to do is love yourself. You are a 14 year old lil gay boy on ATRL telling women how to look. Check yourself.

Having a boyfriend >>>> having hairy legs

are you kidding me??? so just to please a man a woman should go out of her way to change herself in a way that she doesn't want to??? do you realize how damaging that kind of standard is?? like just think:
1. "being fat is gross because boys don't like it"
2. girl feels ugly and undesireable
3. tries to change herself
4. can't lose the weight
5. gets eating disorder desperately trying to lose it
or
1. girl has passion for makeup artistry
2. "boys don't like too much makeup, you look stupid, you'll never get a boyfriend"
3. girl drops something she's passionate about

do i need to go on?

do you know how much it hurts to be insecure about your body and think no one will want you??? i do and i can certainly tell you don't with how insensitive you're being. if you perpuate the idea that having a boyfriend is the most important thing for a girl to ever have all girls will ever think is important is to make guys like them, which some girls already do. they'll try to change themselves and become more and more depressed over it. it's happened tons of times. have you ever seen girls cry, feeling totally ugly, just because guys don't want them? i have and it's horrible and unfair.

this post and attitude pisses me the hell off

OK but men should be men.

[psychodj]

"Men should be men".

By this logic, men shouldn't be gay either, but HEY, look what this forum is filled of.

Y'all so worried about what other people do and stay assuming. You don't have to like it, but you cannot tell someone what they can and can't do. You have no place.

Are you trying to use me not having a man as an insult? Are you saying that I'm worth less if I don't have a man?

Ugh I hate social constructs or w/e y'all call them.

Well if you don't try to make yourself 'conventionally attractive' then it will be harder to find a partner, it ain't science. You don't NEED to do it but you have to make concessions to achieve certain things in life. If you don't want to then don't. I don't control you.

a lot of the posts in this thread just remind me of this:
