Lately I've seen several posts/anons from bi ladies, all with the general theme of

"It stresses me out to think about dating men, because it means I would have to shave again, grow my hair out, start using make-up again..."

It's okay to be female-exclusive, no conditions necessary. But also, if you do want to date men, you don't have to do any of that shit, at all. Yes it will cut a lot of guys out of your dating pool but so what? Being interested in men does not mean you have to date by their standards. You get to make your own boundaries no matter who you date, full stop.

If men are trying to "protect women", who are they protecting us from?

Can we stop calling every decision a woman makes in regard to her relationship or sex life as "daddy issues"? This term gets tossed around a lot and, in fact, has lost its real meaning.

In fact can we abolish the term 'daddy issues' in the first place?

This toxic phrase refuses to acknowledge the emotional or physical abuse that some fathers put on their daughters. So instead of blaming the fathers like you should, with this phrase, you're MOCKING the daughters for being traumatised by those painful traumas, you're mocking them for feeling any pain. You're practically victim blaming. Of course those daughters would be traumatised, they're gonna have trust issues, they're gonna struggle. Why do you have to make up a catchphrase for that? Because they're not as badass as other women you met? Then you're the problematic one here, dude, I'm sorry, but that's the truth.

If you're not shaming autistic people for being autistic, queer people for being queer, then why shame children for being traumatised because of their parent's abuse when it's the most human thing and anyone in their situation would do? You can't pick and choose which human rights matter more.

Speaking of 'daddy issues', this term somehow only includes women. Where are the sons traumatised by years of abandonment from their fathers? Are men not included because you can't fetishize or sexualize their trauma? Because 'daddy issues', directed only towards women, is used as a turn on, right? Like, "Oh dude, that girl has daddy issues. Damn, that's hot! She gonna call me 'daddy' in bed!" That's a very narrowed down and generalized way to convey hiw deeply children can be traumatised by their parents, it totally ignores the deeper point and actually derives an irrelevant, fetishized perspective of the problem.

So stop saying "daddy issues". We should've known that term was gonna be problematic from the first place.
