Confession

[rainbowshades]

I remembered when I was young, I told myself it must be really cool to be a dude (I am a girl), they're strong, they are always made the leaders and other stuff men seemingly benefits from. But, at that time, I was old enough to know that based on my religion, being a man is not that great. Well, the sins of their female family members (wives, daughters) anyone under their care and guidance will be weighted onto their scale. Because men are the ones who are supposed to guide women aren't they? To care and protect them. Well, they're supposed to.

So, I was like nope. Better to be a girl.

Sure, we get monthly period pains and have to confirm to peer pressure when it comes to external appearances but yup better a girl or how you were born as.

But still now that I'm older, looking at other girls, my friends, my sisters, famous women, they all wear makeup. My first thought was men don't wear makeup (Generally or I haven't met those who do) so I won't.

But I'm a girl. It's different.

I also want to dress up like those rock singers. Leather jeans and black boots. But I still like wearing floral pattern, skirts and other girly stuff. But there are still moments where I wonder what it's like to be a dude.

My parents raised me in a religious environment so I know I should not. But I can't help but imagine.

hi,I am a lot older now,but when I was younger very early teens and later too I used to wish I was BOY/Dude----Im in the uk.and felt that I was unwanted in a sense ,as MY mother had lost the first child at birth,and went on to have 4 girls (myself being in the middle)followed by 4 male s.....its a much longer story ,but I feel so strongly that being of I talian parents this preference and ingrained denigration of women generally and widespread that its important that the 21st century build up the female image as strong (as they are)independent individuals ,and not just appendages of our male counterpart---more said later or if requested!

Hi I am from a religious environment too but I don’t think it’s wrong to have an appreciation for the perks of being a guy. That’s just the ability to see things from more than one point of view. That said, personally I think the difference goes much deeper than just how we dress and how much makeup we are allowed to wear. In my opinion it’s a soul difference. For example, asking for help in prayer can be harder for men because they feel they are supposed to be self reliant.

About makeup, I wear hardly any even though I live in this society where women are expected to do it. Also in recent years there is a movement toward a fresher, more natural appearance for women and not wearing makeup is becoming more acceptable. I think that is a good thing! It’s unrealistic to constantly advertise yourself as a perfect beautiful creature. The less objectified women become, the better.
