I think this is sort of a feminist point not sure, its kinda trivial compared to other stuff.
Do you think women are expected to paly down good points e.g. looks.intellect,personality,capability??
as opposed to men?
It came from a moment the other day and others an older relative of mine was talking about how much attention she got as a yw and how she wasn't surprised as a very attractive women, the little voice in my head was like 'How arrogant'!!! then I thought I wouldnt think that of a man, I find it interesting I put myself down becasue I genrally do think that way.
Do women ever put themselves down to fit in? not appear arrogant ? when they actually think good things about themselves ?? Have you ever done that??
