Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Yes, this is a serious question. I still go on reddit and often see on the r/bigboobsproblem subreddit, women complaining about the attention they receive from their chest.

Granted, I do understand where they're coming from, if you just generally as a person don't want to be oogeled at like a slice of meat, I mean, I get that. That is infact uncomfortable.

I love my chest size, they make me feel feminine and beautiful and I appreciate and enjoy the attention they bring me. Because here's the thing, we're not gunna be young forever, at some point, we'll be older, and not attractive anymore.

With that, I kinda don't understand why some women don't like idk... being beautiful or desired? Like it makes me feel good and boosts my self-esteem.

Anyway, ppl are allowed to feel any way they want. Especially when it comes to their body. I just personally don't get why a person wouldn't want the attention.

Im not talking about harassment here, there's a big difference and clearly there's a line. But any way, what do you think?

Oh, I blame men.

With a certain subset of men, you can either be a woman they find hot, or a woman they take seriously, but not both.

I takes a LOT of confidence and energy to deal with that, and before I hit my 30s, it was a serious problem for me to get taken seriously if I did the slightest thing about my looks. I work as a safety consultant, and that means I deal with lots of men in construction and industry, and it was much more convenient to wear the baggy coat and not wear makeup than it was to look good and then try to convince them there was something inside my head too.

So, we dress down, because it makes it easier to deal with the assholes.

Nowadays, my fucks have run out, and the space they used to occupy has been filled with confidence and sass. Even my watertight coveralls accentuate my figure!
