Mysterious lunar mass
Date: 2019-06-12 05:27 am (UTC)The woman talking about "performing femininity" is so sad. It seems very odd, that she appears to believe that beng a tall, strong woman is somehow the same as being a man (perhaps she should visit Scandinavia or the Netherlands...). Or that it did not occur to her that perhaps her friend thought that she was at less risk of rape precisely because she is tall and strong, rather than because she is sexually unattractive (which implies some strange things about her conception of rape, too...). All in all, obviously from an extremely dysfunctional and unhealthy environment, if she thinks that strength and femininity are incompatible, and very possibly in need of some sort of counselling.
