There are a lot of things that people assume or say about girls that are just getting really old. Even other women are saying some of these things. The older I get, the more I realize that these things really do bother me. I know I can't be the only one who wants these ridiculous comments to end.
1. Anything that blames our behavior on our period
"Someone is on their period", "Is it that time of the month?"... The list could go on all day. JUST SO EVERYONE IS CLEAR, A GIRL IS NOT ON HER PERIOD 24/7. Maybe I'm being a jerk because you deserve it. Ever think of that?
2. "You should really let a guy do that!"
Uh I'm perfectly capable of doing things myself. I don't need to hunt down a man and beg him to save me. I got this.
3. "When are you getting married?!"
I've had people ask me "Well when do you wanna get married?" since I was in high school. At 15 years old I wasn't really thinking getting married considering the fact I still had to ask permission to go pee. I honestly find this question to be highly annoying because I feel like people never ask men this until their 30s or 40s but women are to be expected to dream about their wedding day their whole life.
4. "So when are you going to have little ones running around?"
Right after you beat teen pregnancy, you're slammed with the whole "Your-biological-clock-is-ticking" thing. Like can I just have a sec please?!
5. "What's your bra size?"
Ah, 20 questions. The game of fuckboys. Usually, this is the fuckboy signature question (question 4 to be exact.) They really jump the gun. But unless you're planning on buying me a bra, you better mind yah damn business.
6. "I can see your bra strap"
Holy shit, someone call Victoria! Her secret is out! NEWS FLASH, women wear bras. And sometimes they slip and show. So what? Boobs are boobs and it isn't like people have seen a bra strap or two before.
7. "Who are you looking good for?"
I'm looking good for ME, MYSELF, AND I. No one else. I will not put some red lipstick for Bobby or some glitter eyeshadow for Ken. I put on make up and dress up for myself. Cause I'm the shit and deserve to spoil myself for myself, not anyone else.
8. "Smile! No boy wants a girl with a R.B.F!"
Resting bitch face is something I just can't control. It's natural. And even if it wasn't, did you ever think I'm not smiling because you're annoying the hell out of me?
9. "Wow you like sports?!"
I don't know if people realize this, but it's 2016. Girls and women have been showing interest in sports FOR A WHILE NOW. I don't understand why it's such a shock that women like to yell at the football game on TV or attend a hockey game.
10. "You shouldn't swear, it's unladylike"
I can swear if I very damn well please. And if it bothers you? Then I'm gonna keep doing it more so maybe you'll leave me alone.
11. "Why do girls wear yoga pants all the time?"
Why do boys sag their pants? Why do boys wear basketball shorts under their pants? Boy bye. I wear whatever makes me comfortable.
12. "Pink isn't your favorite color?"
Personally, I do like the color pink. But there are girls who don't and prefer other colors more. SO WHAT? When a guy says his favorite color is green, orange, purple, red, or anything expect blue you don't hear girls say "Oh you don't like blue?" Why are colors gendered?
13. "Not all guys are the same"
All you boys try to convince us of the same thing. Usually when a guy says this, he's gonna treat you just like the other scum bags did. Guys who actually mean it use actions, not words.
14. "You're the only girl I'm talking to"
This is something that'll make a girl literally laugh out loud. Not because you're funny, but because it's just another thing we've heard from the fuckboys that have come before you. Don't tell me I'm your one when you know you've got 3 other girls in line just in case things don't work out.
