What’s interesting about being a woman is that:

I feel I cannot win.

If I dress like a developer which I’ve worn hoodies to conferences that’s shamed, but if I dress feminine, it is sexualized.

Sometimes, it feels like everything I’ve ever done in my life is reduced like:

science innovation? Naw, bewbs.
Kindness? Naw, bewbs
? Naw, bewbs
Don’t care, bewbs

I am a multifaceted person. Why can’t that be recognized?

Its also maladaptive behavior from men because it’s counterproductive:

  1. Women don’t want to be sexualized without any kind of emotional connection and validation of their humanity
  2. It’s not attractive- it doesn’t work. I have never met a woman who said she accepts this behavior. It’s an auto rejection.
  3. It creates more women leaving dating altogether

@reginagrogan From my observations it seems to be about the men’s entitlement. Some really can’t understand why they are not free to comment as they see fit. Why would the woman even be there if not for his amusement?

I have called out men like this and I was met with hostility and exclusion in the workplace. These were married men with children. It’s quite sickening.

It’s almost as if the patriarchy is a major problem.

@holsta to me it’s not really about the saying. It’s about the reduction of me to a subhuman.
