The illustrator highlights the absurdity of the criteria women are expected to fulfill in order to be considered worthy. She also addresses various misconceptions about femininity, revealing how misunderstood women still are.

I absolutly HATE! When people say 'thats not my job' to things that clearly are! You chose to be a parent so it IS your job to work with your spouse to take care of your kids, its not the sole job of one or the other its a team effort... chores too
Was everyone an adult? Was it consensual? Then it's none of my business.
This is also what the fat acceptance movement is about. We just wanted to be treated like human beings, the same as non-fat people are.
This is so true. It's important to talk about unrealistic romance expectations because they're so present in so much media, especially in stuff that's typically geared toward teens or women. Which is not to say there's anything wrong with the genre so much as it needs to be talked about just like unrealistic body expectations.
As long as you can manage your life, who freaking cares what you do in your spare time?
Men get scarily angry and abusive if you're a woman he doesn't want to f*ck.
Personally I don't want to look like a Barbie doll and don't see the appeal. But then I make a poor target for this sort of thing anyway.
I hated my body for many years and agonized that I could never get below 150lbs (and I only got to 150-something by starving myself and running 4-5 miles multiple times a week). As it turns out, I would have to be emaciated for that ever to happen; even when I was doing my best to starve myself, I just don't have the build to meet modern beauty standards. The military has NOT helped things, since if you fail weigh-ins, the tape measure system is completely broken; I'd have to surgically remove part of my pelvis to pass the rope-n-choke as we call it.
Normalize answering this question honestly. If you're not okay but don't wanna talk about it, ask for support!
