in my english class the other day, we were having an open discussion about why women smile by amy cunningham (i recommend this text btw, good read) and the first person to volunteer to talk was a guy. he said that he thought the essay was very outdated and that women don’t really face social pressure to be “smiley”, and thus “approachable”, anymore. this idea was very quickly shut down by a trans man, me, and two other women who all shared our own personal experiences with this issue. male entitlement is crazy, they will literally speak on anything regardless of their level of knowledge on it
