I would like to say. That this article is aimed at both men and women.
I have to type this article just to get my feelings out of my system.
I am an individual woman. I am part of the female sex, but please do not judge me with regards how you think women behave in general.
Please do not think I like the same things that other women appear to like. Please do not think that I like the same things as you, because we are both women.
Please do not be condescending towards me and think that I should like this because I am a woman. I consider this to be very patronising.
Not all women are interested in make-up.
Not all women are interested in the latest fashion.
Not all women like to wear high heels.
Not all young women like the latest pop bands.
Not all young women are interested in how to pluck their eyebrows.
Not all women like to go out and pull a guy.
Not all women think that pulling a guy is the most important thing in life.
Some women like intelligent conversation.
Some women prefer to spend an extra time in bed before work. Instead of doing their make-up.
Some women prefer to participate in a sport than to watch it.
Some women prefer to wear baggy jeans and jumpers instead of tight uncomfortable clothes.
Some women refuse to wear the latest fashion. Because of the possibility that the store they will buy the item from. Purchased it from a factory using slave labour.
Some young women detest modern popular music.
Some women prefer to wear trainers instead of high heels.
Some women detest high heels.
Some women would prefer to talk about academic subjects instead of having conversations about this or that celebrity.
Some women actually prefer to watch action or drama films. Not because of the actors or actresses in them, but because they like the storyline, or are interested in the country or era in which the film is set.
Some women cannot stand dare I say chick flicks.
Some women cannot stand romance movies.
Some women find it condescending to be referred to as girls when they are over 18.
Some women find it extremely patronising to even hear jokes or remarks about other women because of their hair colour. I have to say that people cannot help the natural hair colour they are born with.
Some women think that (I have to say I would prefer this not to exist) if we have badges such as blond bimbo. Then it should apply to both blond haired men and women.
Some women who you do not know cannot stand to be referred to as luv or darling. Even through they recognise that you may be endearing.
Some women think that you are being condescending and degrading towards your sex as a whole if you buying an item with the playboy logo, a lads magazine, or supershort mini skirts, or low cut tops.
Some women think that certain men fear more the dare I say tom boy than I hate to say girly girl.
