23. We don’t care about what color your nails are, how you did your hair, or what new shoes you bought.

“No guys really care about what color your nails are, how you did your hair, or what new shoes you bought. It’s all the same to us. If we like you for you, the rest of that shit doesn’t matter.”

24. We are actually as emotional and sensitive as you.

“We are actually as emotional and sensitive as you, it’s just that societal norms dictate that we don’t express that lest we be emasculated.”

25. Rather than helping men and women get along, feminism subjects men to suspicion and outright derision.

“Being the subject of so much misinformation, suspicion and downright derision by people that should be the ones trying to help us the most.

Thanks, feminism.”

26. Men think and women feel.

“Most of the misunderstandings between the sexes boils down to this statement:

Men think and women feel….

“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
