“Don’t make an OF, or men won’t respect you.”
That logic is flawed. A woman’s worth and dignity don’t depend on how “good” she is by a man’s standards. You can spend your whole life limiting yourself, staying quiet, and meeting every expectation—and still not receive respect, kindness, or love from every man.
So don’t live your life seeking a man’s approval. Your worth is not determined by a man’s judgment.
