3 Things No Woman Should Be Ashamed Of Doing

As women, the list of things that is deemed 'inappropriate' for us to do is never ending. The way we sit, the way we talk, the way we eat and just how much - there's a 'right way' to do everything if you're a woman. And if you don't follow the inane norms and ridiculous standards of femininity that were set by some patriarchal head centuries ago, you're 'unladylike' at best and crude, mannerless and uncivilised at worst. The perils of being a woman in a man's world are plenty - but luckily for us, times are changing. We're far from being an egalitarian society - one that acknowledges that men and women are equal - but we are inching closer to one everyday. Nonetheless, no matter what any man or woman says, thanks to years and years of misogynistic conditioning, there are some things that women do that they really shouldn't be ashamed of under any circumstances. We all do these things, because we want to and because it makes our lives easier in some way. So go ahead and do them ladies - no holds barred.

1. Eat copious amounts of food

And when they look at you like you're eating too much for your own good, eat some more. No one gets to tell you how much you can eat - it's up to you. Take as many servings as you need/want, even if it's far more than the men around you.

2. Skip buying/ordering the groceries

The onus of the food getting cooked in your house should not fall on you alone. Something as small as this can take a good amount of time right out of your 'me time' - which, by the way, we all need. Skip the buying/ordering for a week and let someone else take the responsibility. Unless, of course, you live by yourself - in which case you have no choice. But how about some take out instead? Indulge a little, ladies, and breathe.

3. Be hairy!

Seriously, no one likes getting waxed, shaving or going for that laser appointment. We do it because, umm, well, we're expected not to have body hair. It somehow makes us more look more appealing and feminine? No offense, but whoever decided this was kind of sinister.
