Society's cruel message to women (or my apology and explanation)

[Jill F]

it's okay hon. I'm being a woman about this. And it might be I forgot my T.

Holy crap, that's IT.  I totally forgot to take my E this morning.  You scare me sometimes with how eerily similar we are. 

BIG hugs.

It's crazy. Though feels kind of good, cause I can't cry on T. I know some men can, but it's really difficult for me. I think it may be genetic. My dad never cries.

I cried all the time, but then again I have a female brain.     You are so awesome for pulling me out of my funk today.

Maybe we need a "fight the beauty industry, patriarchal culture, and its objectifying standards of feminine worth" thread. Or maybe a "You Did Fabulous, Darling!" thread where people celebrate their triumphs and accomplishments that have nothing to do with beauty or passability.

Yes, yes, yes! I love this idea. Also, my next article is about beauty so all of this is *so* interesting!
