There reaches a point where you lose your patience with being mocked. With the latest round of businesses using campy men in drag to promote their products, I\u2019ve hit my limit.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m tired of my femininity being reduced to absurd stereotypes. I\u2019m tired of being insulted and belittled. I\u2019m out of patience for men anywhere on the political or social spectrum who deign to instruct women on what it means to be \u201cfeminine.\u201d I\u00a0know<\/em> what it means to be feminine because I am a woman.<\/em> I don\u2019t need lessons.<\/p>\n

And I definitely don\u2019t need some guy who play-acts the most inane of misogynist stereotypes being touted as a model of womanhood.<\/p>\n

Which, it\u2019s not like I\u2019m scanning marketing campaigns trying to think of companies to boycott. I\u2019m post-boycott. When you mock me, you disgust me. I want nothing further to do with you.<\/p>\n

The end.<\/p>\n
