+553 "I am not your average teenage girl. I will go out and play football with the guys, and not care if I break a nail". You hate it when people think they're different or specia ; most girls you know don't really care about keeping their nails perfect and will play "guy" sports occasionally. Amirite?

I hate when there's a post or whatever about a dumb bitch and a girl comments something like "Omg I'm a girl and I think she's stupid!" when they do something like sell crack to babies.

I think it's dumb when anyone comments "I'm a guy/girl and..." and it has nothing to do with the post.

I hate it when people happen to be born a certain way and they constantly bring it up in conversation when it isn't relevant. Or if they belong to a group that was oppressed in the past but they don't personally experience it in their own lives and they act as if they're so long-suffering.

I'm not an average teenage girl. I have a penis.

It's called internalised misogyny. Even women believe the stereotypes that women are melodramatic and petty, and that femininity is inferior to masculinity. They see that they DON'T adhere to this stereotype and instead of concluding that the stereotype is wrong, they believe they are the exception. The fact that women take pride in saying "I'm not like a woman" shows what they think of the female gender compared to the male one. Note, I'm not saying it's bad to like masculine things. I'm just saying that it is still sexist to act like being like a girl/feminine is inferior to being like a boy/masculine. It's also still sexist to perpetuate silly stereotypes about what you think the rest of this gender does.

I ranted about this shit to my friend earlier today. I go on a male dominated site, with lots of tomboys, and they (the women) immediately classify anything feminine as weak and shallow. Posts include: I prefer guy friends, women are too catty, tomboys are better than feminine girls because we are not *insert negative adjective here*, I'm ashamed of being female, I apologize for my gender,I'm just one of the guys, etc. They take PRIDE in not being like other women, and are very quick to put their own gender down. Yeah! Let's get men to like me! Put my gender down, because we all know women are such inferior burdens! Perfect example, today a post said (by a woman), "Women need to grow the fuck up. Make your man and sandwich, and if he isn't worth it, don't be with him." She did it to gain male attention, and not seem like other women. It's amazing how quick women are to degrade their own gender. Even some of the males in the comments section pointed this out. It makes me want to put flowers in my hair and prance around town in a pink dress.

I don't see why people can't just do what they want.... I consider myself a feminist, and I enjoy playing around with makeup, putting flowers in my hair, Disney Princess movies, and I almost always have my nails painted (it bothers me if they aren't perfect). Why does it matter what I enjoy? It all just reminds me of the My Fair Lady song "Why can't a woman?" (I think that's the title) Men aren't perfect. Neither are tomboys. People need to stop acting like they are.

Unfortunately, internalized misogyny is everywhere. And from a girl who likes feminine things and has a more feminine-than-masculine personality, these things get hurtful over time. They make you think something's wrong with you. Hopefully this will end one day.
