You know,

I never really understood the standards of society:

"Stand up for yourself,"

But,

"Don't be a bitch about it when another person catcalls you."

Also,

"Dress how you want! Be creative! Express yourself!"

But,

"Don't dress like that. You're just asking for it."

Also,

"Men shouldn't cry. It's not really.. Well, manly."

But then they say things like,

"No! It's okay to cry! I love emotional guys!"
"I'm a shoulder to cry on."
"Why are you so stone cold? Lighten up a bit."
"Are you seriously not crying? This is so sad. Do you just not care?"
"Why can't you just tell and show me how you really feel?"

Society's standards are like a pregnant women, not in the way that they bring great things to this world,

But in the way they have the most insane cravings that contradict each other.

And society itself is just a fool for trying to follow them so thoroughly.
