being a feminist is not easy when you want to become a female
Lately I have realized I am not a feminist. :( I am a slave under ideals created by men. To be a woman is like running a farm. Your body needs constant grooming and attention. Women are for some odd reason assumed to be hairless everywhere except on their head and over their eyes. I suppose a tiny bit between your legs could be ok as well. Consequently I have to shave my arms, armpits, fingers (yes, hair can grow there on a woman), boobs, belly, bikini area, legs and toes. This needs to be done every time I shower. In addition, I also have to pluck my eyebrows and remove any and all little hairs on my upper lip and neck. This is just what needs to be done about BODY HAIR. I have been blessed with thick dark hair on my head, and that means that I have thick dark hair everywhere else where hair grows on me. I am not even gonna start on all the other things like make-up, hair styling, clothing, etc etc women need to go over in order to package themselves. You are not born a woman, you become one. Bleh. Just so tired of having to do all this shit for the next 30 years. Apparently, after the menopause when oestrogen levels go down, women's hair growth gets WORSE because of that. Yippie. So after 30 years I need to wheel out the stuff people use to groom their garden bushes. On top of this, I also need to lose weight to become a REAL woman. Overweight women don't really count as women. I was cursed at birth, I swear.
