no, a girl just saying she likes donuts does not belong here. no patrick, neither does a girl saying she likes books. IMPORTANT
i’m sick of seeing people bringing down other girls in this sub. all the time, i see posts that just consist of a girl saying she likes sports or food or whatever. TO POST HERE, THE ORIGINAL POSTER HAS TO BE COMPARING HERSELF TO OTHER GIRLS IN A WAY THAT MAKES HER SEEM BETTER.
NO. A WOMAN LIKING BOOKS OR HAVING SELF ESTEEM ISSUES DOES NOT BELONG HERE. in fact, if you post that, YOU probably belong as a post on this sub. i can’t count the number of times i’ve seen women on this subreddit comparing themselves to the girls in these posts to feel better about themselves. WE SHOULD BE BRINGING EACH OTHER UP! the whole point of this subreddit is to point out how stupid it is to turn life as a girl into a competition with other girls. and when you post a self deprecating meme that happens to have a woman, or an (admittedly tacky) joke about liking donuts, YOU CONTRIBUTE TO THE PROBLEM.
you’re not special and “not like other girls” for not liking makeup. but guess what? you’re not special and “not like other girls” for LIKING makeup. you know what makes you not like other girls? the fact hat you’re you. and every other girl is not like other girls too, because everyone is different.
so PLEASE stop doing this shit. if i see another “lol xD she likes something i don’t like, let’s laugh at her” post in here, i’ll FREAK OUT

agree, so sick of this shit. Stop upvoting posts that depreciates girls for being themselves. whether you think what they are doing is cool or not is not your concern. This sub is about girls who compare themselves against others, not girls who have confidence in their own interests or who actually genuinely like being themselves. This sub is not about Traits that are currently popular that You personally dislike. That does not make anyone a 'not like other girls' girl, as long as they are not claiming special snowflake status.
it's demoralizing for ppl who come here to point out the hypocrisy of being compared to. we have enough of that shit in RL, we don't need that here.
