i hate these type of trends. It makes it seem like everything a woman does needs to revolve around men… can we just get a normal trend that doesn't make everything about men and at the same time doesn't make women look dumb? (like the girl math trend).
I would love that one day science can discover a new planet were only women and girls can live so we can stop being harassed by losers and we can also stop worrying about what we are wearing and if we are safe while dressing like that.

This just reminded me of the meme of using that song "Im just a girl" by no doubt in conjunction with something dumb and girly, not always but often misogynist stereotypes…when the whole point of the song was about how women are treated as less than.

I guess it's good engagement bait for both genders for a few reasons, so it's popular. Tiktok is a cesspit of content like this

I just think the miniskirt around the breasts looks dumb.

Right? It's a regurgitation of the story about women as told by men.

I've seen scrotes online laugh at those UN and WEF reports that indicate achieving gender equality would take closer to 300 years, thinking it's a given that this is as equal as it gets. 300 years is not enough. The whole culture would have to be slash-and-burned for something better to take root.

I only wear t-shirts and loose pants if I can and don't shave my arms and don't do anything extra for my appearance, has worked effectively 100% of the time for me

Just wear what you like and stop following retarded trends

All trends are dumb, this is why they are trends and not the normal.

This is… not a man repellant outfit. Men like when women dress like this.

I think step one is to stop worrying about the perception of other people and just dress for yourself as >>21942 so succinctly put it, and >>21941 excellently practices.

Lately I've started trying to dress however I feel like instead of how I thought a mother should dress, and it's been a very interesting exercise. Not only to see the difference in people's reactions on a day to day, but analyzing my own internal thoughts and identifying where my humanity has been stifled. I think everyone should try it, even if you do have to end up wearing something else for your safety.

That said I think OP has a point in that any "trend" or whatever is in OP image would ever be considered "man repellent" - it suggests that the only people riding these trends are still subconsciously seeking male attention (e.g. they are posting these images online). Importantly, they do not want to be ignored by men, but to simply appear socially unapproachable. Being ugly does not achieve that.

Personally, I think there's merit in the core concept of becoming unapproachable. Crushing male esteem to the point that they feel inadequate to even breathe the same air as you is a perfectly valid goal (and one I stand behind). Importantly, there's more to being "unapproachable" than makeup, hair, and clothes. There are a multitude of other aspects of how you present yourself (speech, posture, facial expressions, etc.) that matter for these types of things.

Absolutely agree with you. Being intimidating is truly freeing. You are very correct that clothes are actually the least important aspect of this. I found the most success through adjusting my posture and just speaking more clearly and confidently. Your post is also very well written and I really enjoyed reading it.
