What it feels like to me to be a woman: I feel, hope. Then I feel that hope become despair when I see women treated as "less than." I feel fear. Fear for my safety in public places. I feel the need to be MORE cautious in said places because I feel like a TARGET. I feel anger when I am patronized. I feel belittled. I feel annoyance that some men believe I am here for their entertainment and sexual enjoyment. I feel confused when I am told I don't "know" things like how a car works, or how to build something or fix something. That it would be beyond my comprehension. Or that I should step aside and let a "real man" do it. I feel sad when I see how the world treats others.
I feel beautiful...then I feel ugly because people put so much stock in physical attributes. Or they place their idea of what a woman is and it is based of sexuality... how they believe a woman should dress to attract, please or seduce men.
How does t feel to be a woman? It can feel right but often it feels unequal disenfranchised or minimized.
