Hey thanks! Hey if you don’t mind sharing where do you get most of your acne? Mine is kind of weird it’s mostly in my chin area and sometimes it’s just some tender bumps. Do you think seeing a dermatologist would help?I don’t mean to hi jack the comment you replying to but I take vitamin B complex + inositol ! I’ve seen a major improvement in my skin and acne compared to last year.
I got it mostly on my jaw and sometimes my neck. It literally looked like I had a beard of acne marks. I would recommend going to a derm because they can also help you with your skin care routine as well rather than just hormonal acneHey thanks!

How can you feel feminine without people around you validating your femininity? Femininity is a male construction. Men have associated feminine traits with being nurturing, soft spoken and having a feminine body/face. I personally dont care about looking or acting feminine, I dress how I want and sometimes I shave, sometimes i dont. Same with makeup. Many women have trained themselves to do these things to appease men and society at large. It's not like I enjoy shaving... that sh!t hurts. But I do it because otherwise I would be perceived as "dirty". Masculine women or women who reject male constructions of femininity are "dirty". I saw a woman in a tank top with unshaved underarms and my first thought was "wow, she's brave" not "she's dirty" because I know hair doesn't make someone dirty. My second thought was that she is truly living her life without the need for males validating her femininity.I wonder what people mean by "feeling" feminine. Do you guys also "feel black" or "feel human"?
What is your definition or examples of femininity?This whole idea of feminity and being womanly is toxic AF, especially for Black women. Feminity was designed in whiteness. Black women, by birth right, will never fit into society’s acceptable image of feminity. Takeaway - live your life and stop trying to fit into a box that wasn't created for you anyway.
The black women you mentioned don't look like the average black woman.I see that went over your head. The concept of feminity was crafted on white women; their mannerisms and their bodies. Black women’s feminity has always been measured against white women. Think Serena, Michelle Obama, Queen Latifah. Why have they been called unfeminine? Because their bodies don't mirror what is considered feminine which again IS BASED ON WHITE WOMEN. Google Scholar is your friend.
