8. "Scratch the surface, and what's supposed to be good for girls
reveals itself to be all about the boys..."

Exactly. Another avenue for the men who hate women, or who are threatened by them, to bash women.

And no, not all men are like that, at all. The best ones, IMHO, are those who can accept women for who they are, regardless of how they dress. Men who are not threatened by the strength a woman has. Men who LIKE strong women, regardless of how that strength comes out.

I'm tired of this shit. Tired of whiney-assed men telling me I have to shrink inside myself, be less than who I am, demanding that I simper and bow and scrape, and walk a step behind them, because they are threatened by ME.

I'm not going to change. And I'm not going to cow-tow to what they think is "proper". It's not up to them anyway, any more than it is up to me to dictate what is "manly" behavior for them.
