(30,514 posts)My high school years were spent in a boarding school run by nuns from an Irish congregation (Sisters of Mercy). They were a lot cooler and more progressive than other nuns. I also had a mother who was very independent. I was never raised to please men. To this day I don't give a flying fig what men think of me. I always felt that I was as smart, or even smarter, than most men I met. I never played games with guys. I found that to be boring. What they saw is what they got. If they didn't like it, they could go through the door and keep walking. I find it ludicrous and a waste of time to play silly games of: Am I pretty enough? Skinny enough? Intelligent enough? etc.
Who cares????? Be yourselves. Women need to learn that their identity is not dependent on any given man.
