hi all, After coming out of lurkdom i'm gonna throw this subject out there because it has bothered me alot and led me for many years to dislike Feminism.

When I was a teen in school, there were 'feminists' in my class (as much as you can be at 17) and I was blonde,larger chested and wore alot of make up, and spoke about once how I would consider CS for self esteem issues (I was shot in the nose at 14) I was berating for being 'a disgrace to womanhood' and when recieving good marks appeared [shocked] I could be clever.
It did disconcert me that women who rather looked like men were telling how to dress etc,is that meant to be liberating?
How does that break down misgonginy??
It wasnt the only time.I know now being on here real feminism does not promote that.berating people I mean.
Has anyone ever experienced that?

How do you think we can stop this distorted viewpoint putting people of the values of feminism?

Hve you ever felt this view of 'made up' women , be honest?/

I've never got alot of attention I'm no looker but I was blonde and when your young and especially if youre a fake blonde there is an assumptionu r easy, which is daft.

brunette now, get nowhere near but people do treat me less patronising which is nice

I wonder what happens to redheads? haha
