Back in high school (4 years ago now) I was a radical feminist plus really poor. My dad would wake me up for school, no lie, 5 minutes before the bus came. I would wake up brush my teeth and go to school in the ‘cleanest’ dirty sweatpants i could find. Often times I would throw my hair into a pony tail, not have time to even shower.
I didn’t care WHAT people thought of me I was at high school for the education and that’s about it. I was kind of a loser, but had a couple close friends.
…. anyways my younger brother by 2 years keeps bringing up ‘how i was an abomination to our family’…
He tells me that he’s so embarised of being related to someone like me, and that everyone in high school hated me because i smelled really bad. To put an analogy to it, I was like meg griffin from family guy…
My brother brings up how i was in high school everytime we argue (which is about every other day)…
Should I be ashamed of who I am??? I think that women are way too objectified, and that people just can’t deal with the fact that some women don’t really see the point in all the maintenance. If I can make my own money in society why would I really care about how a man sexually perceives me?
Anyways, I have changed my ways and I now shower, dress formally, and even get highlights. I am a college student right now who still lives at home with my dad, brother, and sister..
My dad refuses to give me any help with my college education, car payments, mobile phone bill. But he does give me a place to stay and dinner every night…
As a result of my financial situation I am now an exotic dancer. It helps pay for college and will hopefully get me through to dental school.. And the only reason I can afford to get nice clothes is because of my little bit of extra money( which i would rather save, but I have learned that image is totally everything these days)…
SHOULD I BE ASHAMED OF MYSELF?
