Probably because you're meant to teach, not find a partner..

Women wear tight clothes for the male gaze. Tight clothes are so uncomfortable, which is why when she wants to lounge around I can guarantee she has on a baggy shirt and sweats, no makeup, and hair tied up. That's my look on the daily (and why I cut all my hair off) because I value my comfort over others'. That's how every person should live and is how the majority of males live. Women only don't because we're drilled this idea that beauty/performativity is the most important part of womanhood. So if a teacher is dressed for the male gaze, she's giving the idea she's not concerned with teaching. All women who wear the femininity costume are, whether they want a man or not. The "butch" style is honestly just prioritizing comfort--loose button up, "men's" pants (roomy pants with pockets), flat shoes (not heels), no makeup, short hair. I wish every woman would treat themselves like a human and not an object.

Also, what is with teachers talking about anything but their subject? I get that students are curious, but teachers really should stay on the curriculum. Talk about your professional journey to build rapport.

News Flash 💁🏻

You never wear makeup for yourself. Never. Even when you apply it in the bathroom just for fun and wash it off without being seen. You’ve simply engaged in a ritual taught and influenced by society. Nobody naturally applies makeup without being conditioned to do so.

You are merely doing the patriarchy’s bidding and celebrating it.

Exactly.

When advertisements for laser hair removal are like "Never shave again!" and I'm like... You literally do not have to shave ever. Here's my secret to never having to shave again:

THROW OUT YOUR RAZORS

Imagine how much time, pain, energy, and money she could have saved if she just didn't do fake nails.

This is why beauty is nothing but a harmful waste.

Stop raising your daughters to be damsels in distress.

It's the parent's fault for teaching her to prioritize her looks, putting her in sandals in the rain, and raising her different than your son.

RAISE YOUR DAUGHTERS AND SONS THE SAME. Gender roles start before conception when you choose to buy your female fetus bows and tell her as a newborn how pretty she is, versus buying your male fetus sensible shit like teething rings and telling him as a newborn how tough he is.

I'm sick of seeing girls call themselves princesses and being groomed to be pathetic and 100% dependent on males.

Nature is liberating.

Rehumanize

The adult human female body is not inappropriate. My body grows hair because I am a mammal, just like men. If I am not granted the freedom to do what I may with my body, I am then considered non-human. The female body needs rehumanization.

I hate it here. Sometimes I'm like.. why am I even trying to destroy the patriarchy when people will never see women as human.

No, men in costumes are not oppressed, dumbass Reddit user.

[rehumanizewomen]

The patriarchy is a machine that sacrifices individuality to turn women into slaves to beauty, handmaidens of the patriarchy. Reverse your conditioning. Reject beauty!

[rehumanizewomen]

Confidence

Let's talk about it. Confidence, when based on shallow, fleeting concepts (like beauty standards) is actually a myth. Confidence involves the absence of insecurity or shame. If you are body-conscious or body-focused, you are incapable of feeling secure in your image. That obsession with the appearance eats away at you. You think "I hope they look at me. I hope they think I look good. How does my hair look right now? I have to find a mirror. I have to make sure I look good in this outfit."

If your confidence relies on others acceptance of you, it's not confidence. True body confidence is body apathy.

Your natural marks aren't "flaws"

I think stretch marks are the coolest looking natural phenomenon that a person can have on their body. Scars are very cool as well, and birth marks are especially awesome. Even cellulite is nice to see, as it's refreshing to know someone isn't trying everything they can to hide it. These are all natural body traits that I think is ridiculous to consider flaws. They're so stunning to me. Y'all should cherish these proud markers of being a human.

Selfie and Insta-model culture is toxic.

For many women, taking selfies is a tasking endeavor. It can take many trials to get the "perfect" selfie for posting. Additionally, looking back on selfies at a time when you were thinner or younger and thus more societally "beautiful" can be harmful on your sense of self. Add into the fact that seeing *other* people's selfies that have been posed and edited to "perfection" can damage your body image, selfie culture is plainly harmful.

Do yourself a favor and use your camera for documenting places, not faces. Capture moods! Capture only what is raw and candid, not for what other people would approve of. When I quit Instagram, I knew myself better than I ever had before. The moment I redownloaded Snapchat and saw all my memories were full of skinny, young, makeup-caked (inauthentic) versions of myself, I instantly felt insecurity. I began critiquing my current body, comparing it to my old one. That is toxic!

Your memories should be nostalgic, not triggering.

And here I am not needing a single one of these things to "get ready".

I am ready when I have my comfy clothes on and that's it.

This 100% sounds like propaganda to me. It is completely possible to be well groomed and sanitary without "bikini waxes" or removing your bush. Spare me the pedo marketing.
