Women are constantly being told how to look and how to behave. You must be feminine but not too girly. You have to be pretty, but don’t put too much effort into your appearance. And you have to be thin, but you should still have curves. And of course, all of this is to appease the male gaze.
Understandably, these impossible expectations often cause women to develop deep-seated insecurities. But men on Reddit have recently been calling out all of the traits and actions that they want to encourage women to stop being embarrassed by. From tummy rolls to eating in front of others, enjoy scrolling through this list of things that no one should ever feel shame about. And be sure to upvote the replies that hit home for you!

I remember a girl I brought home once started bleeding thru the night and she was MORTIFIED in the morning(stain on the sheet)..I was just like..it's not that serious. It's not like it's a choice you made.
Farts.
One, I dont give a f*** if you thunderclap the house down with them cheeks.
This sounds like I have a thing for womens farts, but I really dont. I just know how uncomfortable it can be to keep them in.
Bring the thunder.
I had a friend in HS who wouldn’t eat in front of guys because it was embarrassing to show her appetite. She was raised with the idea of eating like a normal human being was somehow not ladylike. As a kid it confused me, as an adult I feel bad looking back on it.
As a new father, weight. If you are healthy and happy with how your body looks I don’t care. Live your life, everything we are is borrowed for this short blip of existence.
Needing the lights off during s*x. i get it, its an insecurity thing with you. But if im at the point where i am sleeping with you, i have a general idea of what your body looks like already (Unless you have a hidden deformity which then i understand). But other than that, if you just have a normal body, i want to see it all, its s**y as h**l and make me feel like we are connecting better than just 2 sweaty bodies in the dark.
also some women very squeemish about being eaten out. girl let me get in there and clean your plate. i wouldnt even be down there in the first place if it smelled bad or if the hair i obviously feel bothered me.
Acne. I used to date someone who would cancel if she thought she had a pimple that was too bad, when [to be honest], [leave] and have never once thought about someone else’s acne.
Sneezing naturally.
Several ladies I know are holding their sneezes in, and it always sounds painful to me. Let ‘er rip.
Snoring.
Bro, don’t pretend like you don’t. I can hear you from a mile away, so can the whole neighborhood. You sleep like a s**y dead octopus and take up the entire giant a*s bed despite being 5 foot 2. You sleep through me doing dishes and starting laundry at 4am.
Then dare to ask me how I slept last night.
Doesn’t matter though, you’re still sups adorbs and I like you very much.
I don’t care that you pooped and you think it stinks. I’m about to s**t myself and I don’t have time for you to stand around and air out the bathroom with half a can of febreeze.
Being tall? Why are photos of girls always with their knees bent or bending over or whatnot. Just stand up straight for gods sake.
Feet size.
I don't know who got it into their heads that men are looking at how big women's feet are, but the only time shoe size ever came up was if I saw a shoe sale and wanted to know if they had something that fit my partner.
A big/prominent nose. As far as body parts go, that is probably no higher than fourth on most guy’s priority lists.
Generally, any sort of noise that comes from the body that isn't speech. This is based on my own experience though.
Their drivers license photo! Every girl I’ve ever met refuses to show people their ID photo. I’ve had two girlfriends that legitimately got [angry] at me when I picked up their ID to look at their pic.
I'm usually embarrassed to eat string cheese in front of my boyfriend but he thinks it's adorable.
