Post something about yourself which you have been judged for?

[BrickPoet]

I will start
I like wrestling and Hawaiian pizza

I was also going to say being childfree but see that this particular topic has already been discussed...

Wearing make up

Not understanding designer handbags.

Having a husband who has psychosis, GAD and severe depression.

Existing and dating bf who later became DH.

Early days - Trying my best to be a good step mum.

Later days - stepping away from situation and disengaging from toxic step child.

I don’t sleep in the same bedroom as my partner

Looking young (a pain at work).

Adoring romance novels 🥰

Not shaving my armpits for a couple of months in winter (DH had such a sulk).

Being a SAHM for a while (strange how much contempt this choice incurred from so so many).

Drinking in moderation. It seems to make heavy drinkers really uncomfortable.

Sending DC to private school after they got bullied in state.

Not enjoying it when strangers’ dogs jump all over me.

Being on Mumsnet. Some men absolutely despise this site, I’m unsure why as by their own admission they haven’t been on it.

Not topping up a wine glass constantly

Being single.

Having a tattoo on my arm
I'm a senior nurse and if I had a quid for every time someone said
" Oh gosh, I didn't think you had a tattoo!"
I'd be rich
I actually have 7 , I was a rebel child----

Ooh lots.

Being short
Being single (teens and twenties)
Having an only child
Dyeing my hair
Not following fashion
Not dyeing my hair (growing out dye)
Wearing 'sensible' shoes
Not joining in office gossip
Not dyeing my eyebrows
Having a wild garden
Liking Hello Kitty, Miffy, Emily Strange clothing

Having a career and children

Voting Tory (necessary for a unionist living in certain parts of Scotland)

Being GC in a very woke workplace

Being a feminist in a very traditional workplace

Retiring early.

My nationality.
ND DC meltdowns and anxiety.
Like a PP, not wanting promotion at work.
Talking about the climate (a lot).
Most recently having nice manners in FootLocker and getting eye-rolled by an assistant.

Not wanting to have children.

Oh yes, definitely being GC working for local authority.

Giving up drinking. But mostly, I realise, by people who have a wee problem of their own with the drink...

Home educating my kids. But generally from people who don't really understand how it works and assume my children don't socialise with other children.

Being disabled

Having a disabled child

Being gay

Being very quiet. Suffered bad social anxiety as a child/teen.

Only having one child (but 3 miscarriages that I chose not to disclose)

Divorcing my husband. Choosing not to marry my partner.

Having longish hair in my '50s.

My DD asking to go to Karate classes and not learning ballet. 🤷🏻‍♀️

My black belt DD continuing with Karate even after leaving school.

Oh and me not being able to drive due to eyesight issues. It's laziness on my part, apparently. 🙄

Breastfeeding my son still (2 years, 2 months).

Same as a PP, being quiet, not 'talking enough'.

Rehoming a dog.

Oh yeah, that too.

And being fat.

And being married to a really really fat woman.

Being disabled and still having a child.

If I was concerned with people’s judgment of me I’d never leave the house!

Oh yes, not driving, too, even though I'm perfectly self sufficient and don't beg lifts.
