like, if I’m nice (as I would prefer to be), a man might get the wrong impression, but I’m also afraid to be rude or do anything to upset them so I have to be the right kind of nice or polite - it’s a real double-bind, and something I don’t experience with women


I love so much face masks because at least that social cue can’t be taken for flirting when I’m wearing it.
that’s a good point, it’s like a social cloak!
That is the only condition I’ll smile in public.
