Women who are too sexual aren’t taken seriously, and women who aren’t sexual enough aren’t taken seriously. Women who are conventionally attractive get valued solely for their sexual appeal; women who aren’t conventionally attractive get dismissed for their lack of it. Women who are conventionally attractive are assumed to be dumb bimbos; women who aren’t conventionally attractive are assumed to be either bitter or desperate. Women who are conventionally attractive get trivialized; women who aren’t conventionally attractive get treated with pity and contempt. We can’t win.

The system is still broken. Misogyny is still an issue. If you don’t do/wear/act like X, you aren’t a “real woman.” But if you do wear/act/do X, you might be a “slut” or a “bimbo” or any number of other things. And heaven forbid you not conform to the accepted gender norms.
