A personal pet peeve of mine that I've never understood why event to this day women bow their heads down and avoid confrontation.A confrontational strong woman is an undesirable woman, which should deter a woman from being how she wants to be only if she's pathetic enough to live her entire life trying to be desirable to men. Society enjoys pushing the idea that a woman should be meek and mild, this tiresome attitude is shown constantly in ads where models are posed in the canting position. With their heads down and tilted looking so powerless while some beef head towers over them.
I mean how many times do women hear that "cursing is unladylike, that smoking is unladylike, and that tattoos are unladylike", that's all a person to person choice and your personal choices (within the bounds of reason i.e. not harming other) should not be up for debate. To put it bluntly; be who you fucking want to be and don't think that because you're a woman you should be any fucking less.
And I leave you with some punk music from the quintessential band Bikini Kill from the riot grrrl movement.
