219. so very true
Half of our species do not get a say in the way the world is ran. And, to be fair, half of it is our own fault. We put on make-up, heels, and revealing clothing in order to receive "positive" attention and conform to our preconceptions on what a lady is. You never see a lady news anchor or politician without make-up. When those brave ladies who do go into public without make-up they are perceived as "not taking care of themselves" - which is a load of bullshit.

Thank you for addressing these issues redqueen. There are many who think this type of conversation is "whining" and overreacting. I see this conversation as conducive to equality and it needs to happen more often.
