How it feels to be (un)marked
I've never realized how while I'm only marked because I choose to be, women are always marked. I guess that's what it feels like to be unmarked. Which is sad that I didn't even recognize that I was unmarked, when women are marked by simply being born women. When I chose to mark myself I'm very intentional about it. I wear my "hipster" glasses. I wear unique clothing. I don't do it solely for others attention but it's certainly a factor
Unmarked 2
Being marked points you out for specifications in a crowd of people. As a guy, I have the privilege to disavow a marking if I want to. I can be the most bland obstacle in peoples' paths that nobody will take a second look at. Personally, I feel as though it is pretty great. Nobody can make instant judgements on me because I won't have any appeall to them due to me being unmarked.
Marked? Unmarked? Who knows?
I know that, as a girl, I am marked. If I wear something that's not jeans and a sweater, people ask what's up. If I put on make up, people ask who I'm dressing up for. I suppose, since I come to school looking like I just rolled out of bed, people mark me as lazy. I don't really mind.
How it feels to be marked?
Being marked is like being branded with a word. Being put into a category with people that are "just like you" which is probably most of the time untrue. You're judged for what you wear, your skin, what you look like, what you have, what you say... literally everything about you will be marked whether or not it is spoken aloud or in the private thoughts of someone's head. Being marked feels horrible. Ever since discussion in class, I think about it more and more every day. I think about the types of things I'd LIKE to be marked as and try to put myself into that category, hoping someone with think a certain thing when they look at me. But then there's the other part of me that cares less after the discussion. I think "If I'm going to be marked no matter what, why should I care?" Being marked is the inevitable in our society and what I do won't change that, and neither will how I appear to people.
How it feels to be marked
It isn't a whole lot of fun. It doesn't matter if I care or I don't. My decisions don't matter, it's what everyone else's opinions that are really important in deciding my identity. I can't cut my hair without getting asked if I'm gay. When I get dressed up I'm "dressing like a boy". My mother always gets on my case for getting mistaken for a guy. Telling me I need to dress more girly or wear makeup. I don't care. Girl's look awesome whether they're in makeup or nice clothes or in sweats. I chose to dress the way I want. But unlike people born wit ha penis, I get judged for the decisions I make or lack thereof.
The feeling of being Marked
Every girl whether she wants to admit it or not knows she's been marked by other people before. Going through high school and knowing your going to be judged no matter what you wear sucks. There's no other way to describe it! It just makes you overthink your outfits each day and stresses you out more. Being judged by a guy for wearing leggings is stupid to me because I wear them because their comfy not because their tight or I want to show off my ass. Guys like to label and pinpoint everything a girl does. If I wear my hair in a pony tail with no makeup on and sweatpants I'll get called a bum or lazy, but if I wear makeup and curl my hair I'm labeled a "Try-hard". Either way a girl JUST CAN'T WIN!! So I've decided to just quit caring what other people think about me and just focus on what I like and if I feel comfortable than that's all that matters! I love me and what I wear so if you want to label me for that then go ahead! :) I'm just ME.
Unmarked#2
As for being marked, I guess it would feel derogatory and demeaning. It would be encouraging to some but also saddening to others. Because to be marked means to be judged in the terms of how a person presents themselves. These criticisms can either as I’ve stated before reach to the character and emotions of a person and cause them to respond happily or defensively.
So are these people "unmarked"?
