A guy in my class has been flirting with me, and I'm not closed off to the idea. He seems nice and smart. Except he scoffed when he saw my computer wallpaper was a close-up of Chappel Roan at the VMAs red carpet. I like her music and genuinely I just thought she looked really beautiful with the Roan of Arc makeup and the mismatched eyes. My computer wallpapers tend to be things I find pretty, from screenshots of Pixar or Ghibli films to fashion photoshoots.

Anyway I don't know if I want anything from this guy anymore. And I feel gross that my first instinct was to downplay my liking of her instead of just telling him yeah dude, I like her, deal with it. Is it worth being with someone who puts you on the defensive about something you enjoy? Even if it's just one thing that is admittedly pretty controversial?

Don't feel gross, feel mad that women have been socialised to do this.

I still struggle with this same self-minimizing impulse (especially where men are concerned), and I am 1. not that young, and 2. aroace (i.e. these dudes don't even have anything I want).

I think it's a positive thing to be aware of this impulse and push back against it, but I hate that we end up self-blaming for it in the first place. Like, I've felt the shame/self-blame, too, but honestly, fuck that bullshit.
