There are many lists circulating on the net that prescribe what a woman should know and do at a certain age. This one was written by Canadian publicist Megan Murphy in honor of her 36th birthday. Unlike many others, it contains really important facts to consider.
Instructions
Step 1
The area is full of disappointing people and phenomena. The harsh truth: most people aren't smart, most parties are boring, most books aren't worth reading. Until now, many people regard chauvinism as the norm and bullying as an expression of freedom of speech. Alas.
Step 2
You don't have to be cute. Women are told from childhood that modesty and kindness adorn, but who wants to be a silent patient decorative object all their lives? Stop pleasing others and trying your best to be discreet and comfortable!
Step 3
Happiness is not in sex or in marriage. First, a mature person is able to take care of his own well-being and should not shift responsibility for his own mood to others. Secondly, contrary to the opinion of positive couch psychologists, it is impossible to be happy around the clock. Third, the entertainment industry has imposed a pattern of spectacular yet unhealthy relationships. Therefore, feel free to throw away the volume of "Men from Mars" and send away everyone who will tell you about 40 cats.
Step 4
Healthy food is delicious. Dietary thinking imposed on women makes pizza, burgers and shawarma food of the gods, and vegetable salads - a tool of oppression. It's time to give a damn about standards and eat sensibly in order to provide the body with the necessary nutrients. You are an adult and you can afford both pizza and broccoli whenever you want.
Step 5
Shoes don't wear. Yes, they are chic, but admit they are not your size. Is it worth buying unnecessary things that will upset you, reminding you of your non-compliance with the standard?
Step 6
Women's friendship exists. Only envious people who are not able to make friends call women's groups a serpentarium. Women's friendship is important and valuable. Take care of your girlfriends and do not change them for male buddies.
Step 7
Popularity for schoolgirls and movie heroines. Chasing popularity is as pointless as trying to be cute. Let others post selfies and nude with supposedly deep thoughts, posing as philosophers. Why do you need it?
Step 8
You don't have to love erotica and porn. The sexual revolution has played a cruel joke on women. Instead of giving the right to control her own body, she imposed a stereotype that a woman is obliged to love sex, dream of rape or unconventional practices. Of course, this is nonsense! You will not become a prude, a bore, or a nun by refusing to indulge someone else's lust.
Step 9
The avocado sandwich is overpriced. Like any other advertised phenomenon.
Step 10
40 cats or dogs are better than one useless guy on the couch. Pets are truly capable of greater love and devotion to their mistress than the narcissistic spoiled male man.
