    The ones saying this don’t even know what they mean when they say this. They are parroting, but they can’t explain without stuttering. Surely they don’t mean my natural, unshaven legs! I’m sure they would recoil and say “men prefer a woman who shaves…” etc.

      You know, I wear mailman-style shorts to work every day. They’re aggressively unsexy and I haven’t shaved my legs this decade.

      You know who hits on me in spite of my outfit, hairy legs, and goddamn wedding ring? Buncha rando dudes.

      The men who’ve told me no man would be interested in legs like mine are literally only people I would never be interested in.

        Yes they don’t really know if we are performing femininity a lot in my experience as well.

    The irony of them enforcing gender roles for both men and women with those types of statements. Shaming women for not conforming to certain beauty standards and subtly pressuring other men to conform to expecting those standards.

    Nasty business all the way around.

    Those guys think they’re entitled to us and it’s our job to be pleasant to look at 100% of the time, for each of them, all at once. The kind of guy that thinks women wear makeup to attract men.

    Man here. First, you do you ladies, also, I hate it when other men speak for my preferences.

    edit: Apologies, didn’t know only women are allowed to post here. I was ignorant, this will be my last comment here.
