Sighs for all sizes

"In addition to sharing your dress size, you should also look cute and charming."

It's quite annoying when a man who could have done better ignores everything else you said but is real good at focusing on the "amusing girl rivalry due to patriarchal societal bias in regards to certain types of appearances" aspect,  and he doesn't actually give a whit about the societal bias. Just because it doesn't affect him negatively. Why not use the imagination? It's also annoying when a woman does the same thing.

"Patriarchy is not men. Patriarchy is a system in which both women and men participate. It privileges, inter alia, the interests of boys and men over the bodily integrity, autonomy, and dignity of girls and women. It is subtle, insidious, and never more dangerous than when women passionately deny that they themselves are engaging in it."
