Imagine only being able to speak English and nothing else. Sad!
"Men in dresses are seen as bad, but women in pants aren't!"
is not the statement that "men can't be feminine but women can be masculine in society" that you think it is.
Let me introduce: women with facial hair. Full beards. Mustaches. Bald women. Bodybuilder women. Women with visible body hair. These aren't "more acceptable" than men in dresses.
Pants don't have a gendered association anymore, while dresses do. There is something to be said for that, but it certainly ISN'T "masculine women are acceptable now."

I just can't get behind this mindset that adult women, some of whom are ultra-rich and educated, are victims of their own choices - such as walking around naked in public, or choosing to do some other degrading thing they weren't forced into (and were paid very well to do, hence why they did it.) Women are not pieces of hay floating helplessly hither and thither by whatever new "breeze" of influence comes upon them. Sometimes a woman making a bad choice is just a woman making a bad choice without any coersion, and she knows exactly what she's doing and why.
I don't care if you want to refrain from judging them for their decisions, but you should seriously question why you think they're not capable of consciously choosing them, or why you think those decisions can't be criticized for the standard they're upholding for other women. Because if you think women have no real agency, then feminism is pointless and you may as well let the men (the people you DO think can make decisions and who you hold responsible for them) do your thinking for you.
why do you think women get so angry when they see women posting themselves not wearing makeup to special occasions like this? I’m sure envy/ jealousy is a part of it but I don’t think it’s just that

They hate to be reminded that there's a life outside the cage. Just like they hate to confront the fact that they're willfully participating in their own oppression. These women just want all women to maintain the status quo because it's easier for them to live life.
Next time someone tells you women are meant to have children blah blah blah have them look up what a placenta is. We are so misinformed about the female body that despite most of us hearing that word before, we don’t really think about its role. The placenta is built by the embryo (not the mother) to essentially hide itself from the mother. Because otherwise she would KILL IT. It’s a foreign body with half of another person’s genetic code. Also we all have heard about the hormone HCG but most of us hear of it in regards to pregnancy tests and not the fact that it forces the mother’s uterus to start secreting a protein to feed the embryo. With every pregnancy, the fetus and mother are in competition. The fetus wants to grow and the mother tries to protect herself and not DIE. we are capable of pregnancy, we have the organs necessary to birth new life. This does NOT mean our organs are for anyone but ourselves. Every part of you is there FOR YOU. Regardless of what anyone might say. Don’t be ashamed of not wanting children. Don’t feel like a broken woman for not being able to have children. Don’t let anyone tell you your sexuality is wrong because it doesn’t result in offsprings.
You wanna talk about women’s space? Men have always been in your space, women. You ALLOW him in. You let him into your bedroom, your home. You bring him along when you’re trying to hang out with your friends. Women bring their male supervisor to monitor the conversations and kill the whole vibe.
She’s bringing him into her space. You let him come into your pussy.
This is true for a lot of feminists. A lot of feminists out there love dick. They grip onto it tightly. You tell them to leave men and they hold on extra tightly to dick. It’s amazing, it really is. I’m not sure what they’re fighting for. I’m confused. I’m totally confused.
So of course they’re going to be entitled to go into the restroom, because you have no fuckin’ boundaries. You fear men being in the restroom, you fear your children going into the restroom in case a man is in there… but a man is in your house right fuckin’ now. He’s in your space, right fuckin’ now.”

Been seeing some ignorant ass takes that assume that bp/sep women have done nothing for women.
I was a crisis line worker for a rape shelter. My job was to find and secure shelter spaces for homeless women, to coordinate appointments for women entering rehabilitation centers, to fundraise, to research legal records for violent male offenders, and to offer peer support and counselling over the phone for women - often for victims of male sexual abuse.
There was an incident where a lesbian woman contacted us seeking help, because she needed a place to stay temporarily, and the shelter was extremely hesitant to help her and gave her a difficult time because she wasn't directly a victim of male violence. Even though they had the means to help her.
~50% of the shelter's volunteers at that time were lesbians.
The woman who came to us was shocked and felt mishandled. I was disappointed as well and I had been advocating for her. She lost faith in the organization, which she had trusted because of its reputation. And I said, this is not sitting right with me. So I quit.
