"girls support girls-" okay but are you normal about queer women? are you normal about BIWOC? are you normal about disabled women? are you normal about autistic women? are you normal about fat women? alternative women? unattractive women? are you normal about women who choose not to shave their legs and armpits and faces? are you normal about butches and tomboys and masculine women? are you normal about trans women? are you normal about trans men? are you normal about nonbinary folk and people who lie outside the gender binary or renounce gender all together? are you normal about women who absolutely despise and detest the latest trends? are you normal about weird women who unsettle you with their interests? are you normal about women who don't wear makeup, who will never wear makeup, who openly dislike makeup and the makeup industry?

hating on basic things doesn't make you more interesting. i love basic things, i love following trends and i love being like other girls.
i've always wanted to be like other girls because i love girls. let us enjoy our basic music taste, our basic clothing style and our basic hobbies.
i love being like other girls.

Just an Other Girls Vs. Me art I did. Inspired by the Great Pumpkin Patch special of Peanuts, complete with a scene where Charlie Brown got rocks.

My parents: "You can't watch Disney channel (Hannah Montana), because it will teach you to be boy-crazy."
My parents: "You can't go to a sleepover if your friend has brothers. Something will happen."
My parents: "You can't date until we're dead."
My parents: "You can't wear makeup or paint your nails, because it will attract unwanted attention."
My parents: "No, you don't need to do anything to your hair, you look fine." (Me: *looks like a miniature Hagrid*)
My parents: "You can't listen to modern music because it's about love and dating."
My parents when I'm grown up: "What do you mean you're not going to get married and give us grandchildren?????????????"
Only a slight deviation from the normal content here at the Expose. Think of it as a palette cleanser.
Basically, my parents didn't want me to grow up to be like the other girls my age(11), as if they were baby prostitutes or something, so they kept me super sheltered for as long as they possibly could. Then they have the audacity to act surprised when, for various reasons, yep I'm definitely "not like the other girls" but not in the traditional, 19-year-old, stay-at-home-mother way that they wanted. More like the single for life, dog mom, gonna die miserably alone way.
If you teach your daughters to shun---if not fear---their femininity, don't be surprised when they turn out a little messed up and have to try to patch themselves up somehow as adults.
