High heeled shoes don’t become flats if you break the heels off.
The posts of earrings aren’t sharp.
Nail polish takes a long time to dry and smudges when wet.
You can’t hold in a period like pee.
Inserting a tampon is not arousing or sexual in any way, ever.
Feel free to add your own.
– Bras leave red marks on the skin under and around boobs and it is a magical experience when taken off.
– Make up can take anywhere from 5 to 25 minutes depending on how skilled you are.
– Taking hair out of a ponytail after wearing it for hours does not make it perfectly straight when it comes down.
– Hair when wet sticks to the skin it no longer flows, idiot.
-When women with long hair kiss, turn around, do anything, their hair falls in the way.
– Stockings are itchy and tear like wet paper bags.
– Pantyhose, tights, leggings, and stockings are each different.
– Waxing hurts and leaves red skin for a while afterwards while shaving leaves stubble
– Most can’t run in heels unless they have been VERY worn
– Insecurity in appearance doesn’t mean “buy me a drink”
– EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT TASTES IN EVERYTHING
-Having large breasts sucks. It sucks beyond belief. If a garment happens to fit your large chest, odds are it won’t fit the rest of you. Underboob sweat is real and terrible. Bending over for extended periods of time will tweak your back out. Running can be painful due to boob turbulence. Bras are hella expensive. Big breasts are not fun.
Putting a tampon in isnt a quick bend-poke-done kinda deal. It involves cubicle yoga, messy hands, numerous curse words as you realise it isnt in correctly and have to take it out and start again with a new one.
Yes to all of this. But also:
If her hair is in an updo, one does not simply remove a hairpin to send her hair cascading down her back. No. If her hair is an updo, it will take at least an hour and an extra set of hands to remove the 137 bobby pins that are holding her hair in place. Furthermore, there’s probably a can’s worth of hairspray in there, intended to withstand category 2 hurricane winds. There’s no cascading happening here – the best you can hope for is a misshapen nest of hair to clump and poof unattractively in the back while it still remains flat against her scalp.
This is one of the funniest posts I’ve seen in a while (especially if you read all the comments), but also really depressing because at 42 I still judge myself as having failed for not matching up to all these mythical stereotypes despite knowing they’re impossible
Meet The ‘Rocket Girls,’ The Women Who Charted The Course To Space
In the 1940s, an elite team of mathematicians and scientists started
working on a project that would carry the U.S. into space, then onto the
moon and Mars. They would eventually become NASA’s Jet Propulsion
Laboratory (or JPL), but here’s what made them so unusual: Many of the
people who charted the course to space exploration were actually women.
Nathalia Holt tells their story in her new book, Rise of the Rocket Girls: The Women Who Propelled Us, from Missiles to the Moon to Mars. Holt tells NPR’s Ari Shapiro that the women worked as “computers.”
“In a time before the digital devices that we’re used to today, it
was humans that were doing the calculations,” she says. “And so you
needed these teams of people — many of whom were women, especially
during World War II — and they were responsible for the math.”
Barbara
Paulson was one of those women. She tells Shapiro that while her
sisters were preparing to be secretaries, she took a different path. She
says, “I had had quite a bit of math in high school. … I know my
mother certainly wanted us all to graduate from college, but why I
veered off into this … I can’t remember. … But I did, and it helped
me get the job that I did get at JPL.”
There are a lot of things wrong with this entire ask so here we go
the concept of “Gold Star Lesbians” is both outdated and also very harmful to the lesbian community. And here’s why:
It implies that sexual experience is the only form of validation for lesbians when, being a lesbian and wlw in general, is so much more than just sex.
Virginity is Not Real. It was a concept created by men do they had the power to take something from women
Virginity also heavily implies penis-in-vagina sex and once again, is not the only kind of sex that exists, therefore it is not a valid concept.
Plenty of lesbians have slept with men. Are they any less valid? Absolutely not.
Plenty of lesbians have been in relationships with men.
Plenty of lesbians have had sex with men.
Plenty of lesbians do not realize or accept that they are lesbians until later in life.
Are all those lesbians still valid? Of course
Compulsory heterosexuality is a sad and very real thing
It implies that bi women do not have good intentions which plays into the idea that bisexual women are less desirable for lesbians to date, since they’re not as “pure” in their sexual desires or experiences.
Lesbians who have been raped by a man are still valid lesbians
The term “Gold Star Lesbian” is often used to justify transphobia.
Any woman aligned person who is attracted to women aligned people, can call themselves a lesbian. The only people who cannot call themselves lesbians are men.
My sex life is no one’s business but my own and I am a valid lesbian whether or not I have slept with a man.
The gold star lesbian “identifier is
maybe leave your shitty, gross standards out with the garbage where they belong
