Artist Illustrates The Ridiculous Expectations Women Face Every Day

Ugh....

The difference is when women show their emotions and/or speak up for themselves and when they don't.

As a man, I hear what's being said here, and am recognizing where I've made these mistakes in the past. One of those above seems out-of-line, though--specifically "I prefer girls clean shaven." Making a demand of your partner to modify her appearance for your pleasure is obviously inappropriate, but that's not actually the dynamic that the statement as written portrays. In and of itself, it is only a statement of preference indicating what is personally found most attractive. While understanding that even a presentation in this way can result in woman feeling a passively pressured to accommodate, it's simple reality that people (both male and female) have preferences in their evaluations of attractiveness. Forcing your partner to comply, actively or passively, is wrong. It is also wrong to declare that simply HAVING a preference is wrong. None of us are required to change or forfeit our individual aesthetic standards when it comes to choosing a partner for ourselves.

no kidding..the mixed messages are crazy..but then the next level is in our society..'buy this c**p..declutter...save,..be all u can..follow your dreams...be content with what u have...no place like home...travel...see the world...so crazy..think we need to mediate..spend time in nature..forget all the words.

I could talk about social hierarchies and how people that are under your command will constantly try to harrass and test you, regardless of your gender. I could bring to your attention the fact that male bosses experience the same amount of comments, but behind their backs, because people are too afraid to say it upfront, or the boss is so confident and strong he can take criticism and improper jokes without it shaking his self-confidence. I could ask you the definition of a "strong and independent woman" since comments like "You are so bossy!" are enough to shake her self-confidence. I could tell you it's not that big of a deal, there are other predominantly male jobs like coal mining, oil rigs, construction, factory workers, electricians, mechanics etc where there is a great need for women. I could ask you where did you get the sense of entitlement to assume people will simply listen to you and do what you want? I could, but it would fall on deaf ears.

And you don't think men are under pressure, too? I'm really tired of whiny women.
