I hate that whenever you see a woman, you praise or deride her beauty, but with a man, you praise his accomplishments or strength. What about my accomplishments? How about how strong and smart and competent I am? How bout mocking men for their unattractiveness, and beating them down?
I guess that's just natural instinct. It doesn't mean anything. A lot of beautiful women are self-centered manipulators. Even though they're attractive most men will avoid them because they are a pain in the *** and shallow. Men still look for women that have accomplishments and strength, and good character. And indeed, men do get ridiculed for their unattractiveness as well. There used to be this kid in high school that used to be constantly ridiculed because he had a giant mole on his cheek.

I hated that men can do whatever the hell they want. They can be whatever the hell they want. f*** them.
I'm pretty sure you can do whatever you like too. I used to think that only males did computer engineering for example, but actually when I got my first job it was mainly females doing the work. A female ran the company also.

I have f***ed myself over many times, by giving up what I wanted, to make others happy, both to childhood friends, male and female, and today.
Its never a good idea to give up your own needs for friends. I can see giving up your needs for your children, but not friends.

I don't like pink. I don't want to be expected to be a certain way. But I want it to be ok to be vulnerable. Not to be mocked when I say "I need a hug". Not to be judged just based on my physical appearance. I want someone to love me for who I am, not just tell me that I have "a pretty face". I want to be valued and respected in society for who I am. I want to do what the hell I want without being expected to sacrifice. And I don't want to measure up to a f***ing man.
People always judge based on appearance, men and women. BUt like I said it doesn't mean anything. Taking time to get know someone the attraction of outward appearance can fade. I know I dated a girl in high school who I thought was very attractive, but she was seriously annoying so I dumped her. If she were a nice person, and had interesting tastes/interests I would have stayed with her. I actually was more attracted to various other girls who weren't quite as attractive but had better interests in music, art, etc.
