Unbeauty Standard

The beauty standard and unbeauty standard are equally horrible. One day I had a discussion with a male friend. We talked about some social issues and I pointed out my feminist ideas clearly. He was surprised and saying,”You sounded like a feminist.”

I told my friend that I was a feminist. He dropped his jaw and said no way. He never met any feminist in skirt with rose lipstick, so how could he have thought there would be feminists in long cloth?

“I am a feminist so I can represent myself the way I am without any boundaries. I can wear trousers and skirts the way I want. Just because I am a feminist doesn’t mean I am not allowed to be pretty and applying lipstick on my lips. It’s just I don’t do it for you, men, but for me myself.” I smiled at my male friend who looked at me blankly.
