āPublic libraries are such important, lovely places!ā Yes but do you GO there. Do you STUDY there. Do you meet friends and get coffee there. Do you borrow the FREE, ZERO SUBSCRIPTION, ZERO TRACKING books, audiobooks, ebooks, and films. Have you checked out their events and schemes. Do you sign up for the low cost courses in ASL or knitting or programming or writing your CV that they probably run. Do you know they probably have myriad of schemes to help low income families. Do you hire their low cost rooms if you need them. Have you joined their social groups. Do you use the FREE COMPUTERS. Do you even know what your library is trying to offer you. Listen, the library shouldnāt just exist for you as a nice idea. Thatās why more libraries shut every year
I often think that I would enjoy femininity a lot more if I wasnāt pressure into it so much. I grew up conservative and christian; we believed it was gods design and plan for our main priority to be our children and families. Make yourself presentations, soft and beautiful, but not provocative or showy. You must be graceful and nurturing; willing to accept youāre wrong in the presence of men, even if you know youāre right. You may have a job or hobby, but you are in charge of all housework and child raising; itās gods intent for you. Itās not oppressive, itās a gift.
While deconstructing, I think I had this idea that if I didnāt want that, I should be the exact opposite. I wasnāt gonna wear makeup bc thatās just showing off for men who didnāt deserve my attention. I wasnāt gonna dress up in anything other than sweats, bc I should learn to be myself without me all dolled up. I was gonna never marry a man; never have kids. I needed to be loud and proud, as I thought men were supposed to be.
Along the way, I think I forgot what being a woman is: anything it means to you. Sure, for some it may mean being more masculine and rejecting all femininity, as long as sheās happy with that and herself. But for me, Iāve recently started allowing myself to be more feminine when *I* want to. If Iām feeling like getting dolled up, hell yeah Iām gonna do it. I might do my makeup soft and sweet, or more bold and glittery, or no makeup at all. I wear sweats one day and then the next Iām feeling all the cute clothes I originally thought were for only special occasions. I allow myself to giggle and cry and blush and actually feel my emotions now. I can admit when Iām wrong without it feeling like Iām āletting down women.ā I found a boyfriend who loves me no matter what version of me I am that day. He loves it when I pull my hair back on a comfy pjās day and he loves my sparkly eyeshadow and bold mascara. He loves my intellect and my dumb blonde moments. Anyway, this is becoming a sleep deprived rant, but Iāve just realized that I needed to love myself (as my beautiful bf does) in the way that allows me to be flexible and patient with myself, with no expectations or prejudices of how I should be. Femininity is also a beautiful thing when they get to choose it freely
