For many years, I hated the color pink and dresses because I didn’t want to be “girly.” I do not quite know why I was ashamed of liking “girly” things, but it may be because of media and my friends. Only until recently last year, did I realize that pink is a pretty color just like the other colors. I also realized dresses were pretty cool.
Honestly same. I just didn’t want to be feminine in that way. I had kind of hammered in that dresses and the color pink was a sign of weakness and vulnerability because of what my parents had told me. But then I realized that it was bullshit and that I looked awesome in pink and in dresses
yeah, same! i was always scared of liking pink, make-up, or anything inherently "girly" becase it was always portrayed to be bad in media, and the female antagonist was always a 'whore' who wore makeup and was on the cheerleading squad and liked pink. the world is so backwards that people simultaneously want girls to be less and more "feminine" by their standards.

Same, thanks to good ol' trauma I was scared of being seen as 'girly' and all
