to clarify, the only person's opinion of you you should truly care about is your own, it is valuable to consider others, but you decide for yourself and only you.

Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.
Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.
A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level. For more information regarding the problems with 'Egg-culture', please see Here.

Why onli mens opinions?....
Bigoted men often comment on women's appearance.
"Too much makeup." "Your skirt is too short." "You should smile more."
It goes without saying that the women they're judging weren't asking for their opinions.
soooo it's bigoted men who we shouldn't pay attention to. but that's like --.-_,.-nothing new >~<
also i've never heard peeps say that ever before... maybe cuz im not from the freedom country...
every time i see one of the posts going "This guy told that woman 'i think u would look nicer without makeup' " and he's being portraid negatively, i always thought
Also, i feel it's weird this is being specifically targeted at men. This might just be me having a weird internal fight of "Men are awful cuz capitalism and selfish" and "Men can be so super nice, let's not assume the worst all the time", idk...
If another women were to tell some woman that some makeup might be just a lil too much, would that be much better? If so, i feel that is rather unfair... ;(
The problem is that men generally don't understand that even "no makeup" looks still feature makeup. I'd also be kinda annoyed if a woman commented negatively on my appearance without solicitation. Like, maybe I want my makeup to be aggressive, stfu!
The amount of times I see people praising a “no-makeup” look when the person has on eyeliner and mascara is way too often. Like have you never seen your own face before?
tbf, I have really lush lashes naturally (っ˘ڡ˘ς)
My favorite ones are the “no makeup/filters” photos where the skin tone is perfectly even across the face which is of course impossible without foundation.
I'm not from the eagle country either (though not in a better place) and by being quite close with my femme relatives I've seen this shit happen on many occasions.
It's almost never polite, it's never "well I think that would be better". Oftentimes the "advice" is done with an insult, e.g. by comparing a woman to a prostitute.
Usually they're just strangers who has no business telling her how she should dress. And yes, if it was a woman saying this it would still be equally bad. But it's rarely a woman, 99% of the time it's a man.
Yeah, the premise that all men must be ignored is bad but it's the emotional response that often develops after yet another such an idiot opens his mouth.
not only men, nobody's opinion of you means anything unless you want it to. that being said, I find that it's most often men who offer unhelpful, or even offensive advice unsolicited. if a man happens to get offended by my unsolicited opinion by seeing this then all I have to say is ~~ <3 ~~ :3c
I jus... I rlli want to believe that that many manly peeps aren't evil.
I wana believe that this is just me projecting everything bad [capitalist, selfish, unhelpful, not empathetic, unreasonable, loud, aggressive, angry, insults more] onto something, and not axtual reality. Like - it can't be that clear cut...
Evil is a religious word, they likely aren't inherently irredeemable but they have probably been conditioned to have certain beliefs about what they should and are allowed to say/think/do which they need to unlearn in order to not be harmful to others.
