Be soft, not rude.
Be flirty, but not whore-ish.
Be strong, but accommodating.
Be a freak, but only for him.
Be safe, but know when you should have known.

I don’t know if its my feminist radar or just good timing and coincidence but lately I’ve been hearing people talk heavily about “types of women” to date, and “types of women” that exist in the world. So like any bullshit I hear I haven’t been taking any of it as fact.

I would just like to get one thing clear; women are not beings that can be categorized away in a filing cabinet. We are everything and anything you do and don’t want. Many of us contain all the qualities that seem to be very contradictory. For example, just because one women comes off as smart doesn’t mean she can’t or won’t make dumb decisions. Or just because one woman is loud and aggressive doesn’t mean she doesn’t know how to show and respond to love and affection.

Its completely bewildering to me that people think each woman is a type, and fits neatly into whatever category we or you put us in. Its an impossible role to fulfill if you think about it because it eliminates our ability to just be ourselves without having to worry so heavily about our presentation to the judgmental eyes of world. Basically, its exhausting.

Ahhh, what more can I say.

Take care people.

P.S.: The video above just reiterates the idea of false perceptions of “real” women and is an example of the contributions the media has made to type casting women.
