Summer! Longer days, warmer nights, barbecues (don't you dare eat that hot dog), ice cream (that either) and sexism. So much sexism. 


quote:

All year long, society sends women messages about how they should look and act, but summer can dial up the volume on gender differences. The idea that a woman's worth lies in her beauty is more pronounced during a season when her body is more exposed. Social expectations that moms take on more childcare are especially true with the kids out of school. Research shows even rates of sexual assault are higher in summer than fall or winter. 


quote:

Standards of beauty evolve, but in American culture there has always been a preference — often white, young, thin and able-bodied. Women are heavily influenced by this ideal, despite the fact that many of us can never achieve it.


quote:

Summer can trigger those struggling with eating disorders or body image issues.


quote:

While research shows men also suffer from body dissatisfaction (with gay men much more likely than heterosexual men to report feeling pressure to look attractive), body image dissatisfaction is still more prevalent among women than men. 


There will only be three seasons in five years. Summer will cease to exist.

Men care about looks.

Women are competing for men.

The end.

In winter men are too busy constructing log cabins, kindling fires, and catching fish from a mountain stream while warding off the occasional bear.

LOL. Young, thin, and able-bodied has been the golden standard since the beginning of history. As it should be.

All violent crime is higher in the summer compared to winter.

It’s because the number of human interactions increases. It’s just a consequence of statistics.

Okay, dont do anything then.


Dont cook.
Dont watch the kids.
Dont try to look good.


Dont do anything at all.

Make yourself completely useless as a partner/mother/wife. That's what we need. More women sitting around doing nothing.

They forgot about all the dad bods out there. They don’t think men face pressure to put the hot dog down. What a narrow minded writer.

Yeah, but why do fatties always wear tight clothes like fit chicks? They act as if they gonna trickfrick someone into thinking, "oh, she must be hot cause she got on yoga pants". Nevermind the fact that she looks like a can of busted biscuits.

She looks like she exercises and eats properly. Maybe she should stop being healthy in the name of feminism.
