be a woman

what does this mean to you?

(generalisations, stereotypes, and sense of humour welcome)

Make sandwiches and look pretty.

Cooking a 7 course meal for your husband and children while wearing 6 inch heals, an expense dress, and wearing a string of pearls.

Uh not.

I bet you're sick of hearing stupid jokes about women making sandwiches, aren't you? I know I am. Not to mention those idiotic Facebook groups where they think being misogynistic is ironic.

It means putting in twice as much effort in many cases, just to be treated equally. It means having to look good -while- being good at what I'm doing, to be taken seriously.

The opposite of everything in the 'Be A Man' Thread.

Or at least that's what I've been led to believe.

In all honesty. It seems to mean 'Look pretty otherwise you're not going to get anywhere, no matter how competent you are.'

I was going to say something witty, but I broke a nail and got pregnant on my way in.

This entire thing screams, "STEREOTYPICAL." Apparently, women are all about calorie-counting, bikinis, and finding the perfect man. OH NO, not the hairdresser! It's silly how the whole series is a ploy to get women to buy low-calorie snacks.
