Aposematic design

When an object is defined as feminine, it means it shares characteristics with the idealistic standards of the female body. This terminology reenforces the idea that femininity should be soft, kind, gentle, curvy, nurturing, and maternal. However, by fitting into this standard of femininity, I have found myself more frequently subjected to unwanted attention and harassment.

Abstract

When an object is defined as feminine, it means it shares characteristics with the idealistic standards of the female body. This terminology reenforces the idea that femininity should be soft, kind, gentle, curvy, nurturing, and maternal. However, by fitting into this standard of femininity, I have found myself more frequently subjected to unwanted attention and harassment.
