“You drive better than most girls do”
What is that supposed to mean? Are you telling me that I am not a woman? Or are you telling me that you find it shocking because I can drive pretty well being a woman? I need to know if you are insulting me or the whole of womanhood. Neither of it is cool.
“You look better without makeup”
Gee, thanks. I didn’t ask you to boost my self-confidence. I wear makeup because I want to and I like it. I am not trying to impress you with my contoured face.
”I love that you don’t party too much”
Is that your reverse psychology technique to tell me to party harder? I don’t party for the sake of it. And how much do you think too much is? I know my limits and I also know that I don’t want you to set restrictions for me.
Next time you want to compliment an independent woman, know what you are saying!
