STOP TELLING WOMEN TO SMILE
-it’s not a compliment
-it’s condescending ⠀
-it’s often threatening & always weird
-women do not exist for your comfort or pleasure, so why should they smile just because you want them to?
-women are not puppets, nor do they have to act on your creepy unsolicited commands
-exerting your will over the autonomy of a stranger is not your place ⠀
-telling a stranger to smile is so WEIRD & GROSS no matter what your intentions are
-there is no reason to tell a woman to smile… so don’t ⠀
