Men's expectations of us are a logical fallacy.
they expect us to climb the career ladder but not to the extent that we make more money than them
they expect us to be educated but not to the extent where we question what they do or say
they expect us to be socialites but not to the extent there are too many people orbiting around us
they expect us to birth children but be the same person physically, mentally and emotionally before childbirth
they expect us to do emotional and physical labour but with enthusiasm
they expect us to adhere to beauty standards but not to the extent where we get attention from other men
they expect us to be independent but not to the extent we don't need them anymore
How?!
Women around the world are running themselves ragged trying to acheive the above in order to seek validation from the men in their lives. Yet women around the world are also being cheated on, left or generally being treated like shit because men are using the latter as excuses to.
Don't fall into this trap. Don't try to be Superwoman to a man. Rehabilitate your pick-me brain, and quit seeking male validation.
Be Superwoman for yourself. Live life for yourself. Be on your level up journey for yourself.
Don't run yourself ragged for someone's dusty, ungrateful son.
Have a good week ladies 💖
Wow, I was just going to make a similar post, but you really hit it all! Another point:
They expect us to stay skinny, but not work out enough to the point we get muscle
They hate feminity, yet hate on women who don't follow it
Have to be seggsy/ seggusally available to men but be a virgin too
Enraged when random women turn down a man's advances, yet call you ran through for just going on multiple dates
Yes. Patriarchy is built on double binds.
That’s why I don’t give a fuck about double standards against them
They expect us to be beautiful, but not spend money on it.
This one truly fucking kills me. They like the end product but have no idea how much time, effort and money it takes to get there- nor do they care 🙄
