danikathelesbrarian: Things like this get under my skin all girls are straight—except me (or, perhaps, including me, depending) all girls are blonde except me all girls wear makeup except me (oh, but look, that makeup doesn’t actually make her attractive, does it? Trying too hard.) other girls are vapid (blank staring eyes) while I am thoughtful and have an inner life It’s just a perpetuation of misogyny. Seeing yourself as the exception to the rule just reinforces the idea that all girls are the same, that all girls are stereotypical. You have no idea what the girl next to you in class is thinking. You’re probably not the only one in that class having unexpected thoughts. People are complex. Not just you. Everyone.

Things like this get under my skin

  • all girls are straight—except me (or, perhaps, including me, depending)
  • all girls are blonde except me
  • all girls wear makeup except me
  • (oh, but look, that makeup doesn’t actually make her attractive, does it? Trying too hard.)
  • other girls are vapid (blank staring eyes) while I am thoughtful and have an inner life

It’s just a perpetuation of misogyny. Seeing yourself as the exception to the rule just reinforces the idea that all girls are the same, that all girls are stereotypical. You have no idea what the girl next to you in class is thinking. You’re probably not the only one in that class having unexpected thoughts. People are complex. Not just you. Everyone.
