Women are constantly being told how to look and how to behave. You must be feminine but not too girly. You have to be pretty, but don’t put too much effort into your appearance. And you have to be thin, but you should still have curves. And of course, all of this is to appease the male gaze.
Understandably, these impossible expectations often cause women to develop deep-seated insecurities. But men on Reddit have recently been calling out all of the traits and actions that they want to encourage women to stop being embarrassed by. From tummy rolls to eating in front of others, enjoy scrolling through this list of things that no one should ever feel shame about. And be sure to upvote the replies that hit home for you!

I remember a girl I brought home once started bleeding thru the night and she was MORTIFIED in the morning(stain on the sheet)..I was just like..it's not that serious. It's not like it's a choice you made.

Farts.
One, I dont give a f**k if you thunderclap the house down with them cheeks.
This sounds like I have a thing for womens farts, but I really dont. I just know how uncomfortable it can be to keep them in.
Bring the thunder.

For the older ladies: gray hairs. You earned those, and some of us appreciate experience.

I had a friend in HS who wouldn’t eat in front of guys because it was embarrassing to show her appetite. She was raised with the idea of eating like a normal human being was somehow not ladylike. As a kid it confused me, as an adult I feel bad looking back on it.

My girlfriend started gaining a bit of belly fat because of her medication, and it used to make her feel anxious. But honestly, I find it really cute. So whenever we’re hugging, I’d gently touch her belly and say, “This is mine, and I love it.” I kept doing that until she eventually stopped stressing about it and just embraced it.

Nails and eyelashes. We don’t care about either and in fact prefer without. Oh and filler.

As a new father, weight. If you are healthy and happy with how your body looks I don’t care. Live your life, everything we are is borrowed for this short blip of existence.

Needing the lights off during s*x. i get it, its an insecurity thing with you. But if im at the point where i am sleeping with you, i have a general idea of what your body looks like already (Unless you have a hidden deformity which then i understand). But other than that, if you just have a normal body, i want to see it all, its s**y as hell and make me feel like we are connecting better than just 2 sweaty bodies in the dark.
also some women very squeemish about being eaten out. girl let me get in there and clean your plate. i wouldnt even be down there in the first place if it smelled bad or if the hair i obviously feel bothered me.

Sneezing naturally.
Several ladies I know are holding their sneezes in, and it always sounds painful to me. Let ‘er rip.

Most things.. for example.miss matching underwear...we are seeing your underwear...near future is promising 😁 same with stretch marks, bingo wings, muffin top, untidy lady gardens etc etc LADIES most of us don't care or even register it. We fellas are simple creatures, it's the ones that care you have to worry about. It's controling c**p first shots or they getting lots and picky from bordem.
