It absolutely makes my blood boil when people associate gender with things THEY enjoy doing or a skill that THEY have. Like no, being emotional isn't a 'girl thing' just because you're a girl and emotional, it's a YOU thing. Stop creating dumb ass gender stereotypes that have no evidence other than experience. People need to know the difference between basic personality characteristics and gender.
Literally most of our problems in any type of inequality comes from stereotypes.
Also, since I'm on a feminist rant I'll just complain about some more stuff. Like for example, the whole 'pick me girl' thing. Those girls who use that term not only do they call girls who don't like to wear makeup 'pick me' but they also fully believe that makeup is an essential to being a woman. Like no, woman aren't born with the inner urge to wake up and cover their faces with chemicals, sorry to break it for you.
Also, can we all just admit that makeup is not 'art', it's a way to cover insecurities. Okay yeah i get it, makeup can be fun. But let's be real, girls who do a full face of makeup since they were young are not doing it because they see it as an art, they are insecure and dependent on it to make them feel better about their looks. I don't see what part of contouring your nose to look smaller and spending so much money on the same products rebranded screams 'art'.
I don't think that wearing makeup is necessarily something to get men's attention, but most of the time it's an unconscious desire. We live in a world where everything is about men. Growing up as a girl, you're sort of wired to always value your looks and men's opinions. It's simply the male gaze and ignoring it does no good.
I enjoy wearing makeup every now and then too, but my first instinct when i see a girl saying she doesn't like to wear any isn't to bash her for liking how her natural face looks like.
And if you really think makeup is a good thing for women, I'm afraid you are beyond help.
And don't even get me started on the whole 'girls have mother instinct' bullshit because it makes me want to bash my head against the wall. It's basically a nicer way to say that women are just baby machines. Just because you have the ability to get pregnant doesn't mean that's all you are. Like you are able to open a door but that doesn't mean your whole life purpose and role is to open the god damn doors. Girls don't have mother instincts just because you shove a baby doll into their hands at the age of five.
