Post something about yourself which you have been judged for?

I will start
I like wrestling and Hawaiian pizza

Don't like having or being a guest.

Good luck with THIS question @BestieNo1 !!! 🍿

Taking a job away from a man. (I was one of only two female scientists working at a large research establishment.)

Not liking dogs

Being overweight - “but where do you buy your clothes?” - work colleague
for having sex as a teenager in Ireland - “no one will want you now” - mother
For having one child. - “they will be lonely when you die” - numerous

Not having children

Wow, that's awful. Well done on getting there, despite the misogyny!

I had a quiet bet with myself that that would get asked, and you didn't disappoint me. That must be about the 93,976th time it's been asked of women who don't have children but who post on here; and answered probably just as many times.

Thanks for reinforcing what I said about being judged for not having children, BTW.

Smoking!

@Runnerduck34 Amen, shit isn’t it. Must be my fault too DD has an ED as I’m slim and such a ‘fussy eater’ (gluten makes me really unwell so have to turn down all the biscuits/cakes)

Having a few big dogs
Tattoos
Ear piercings

Sorry if it sounds rude but I would ask the same of a man but that would be two steps away from the group

1. being male
2. not being a mum. Genuinely curious. ☺️

Being fat and clever.

No, being fat, and unapologetically clever.

(And I was judged for being childless, and then, when I had a child, I was judged for not having a second one by the same people. Clearly I should have asked them what number of children they thought was correct.)

Being vegan, not liking transphobes

having a daughter with ARFID

My refusal to call males ‘she’ (and in turn I judged them)

My dog barking at another one

My love of Fry’s Turkish Delight

Being religious

Dear Jesus, can we not go there again?

Some of these people must be permanently baffled by life. The most ordinary things must be like stubbing your toe on furniture.

I looove wrestling and always judges on it. Enjoy em next week! X

Being British (I live abroad, and its not just judgement either, its preventing me from working certain jobs)

My commitment to my dogs.

Having long hair
Being passionate about history
