They won’t even see.
I would say that the single biggest feeling holding girls back from expressing just a bit more girliness than they currently are is worry/fear. Girls are worried that strangers that they have never met, nor will ever meet again will see the girliness and judge them for it.
The truth is that the vast majority of people that you encounter on a day-to-day basis are consumed by their own world behind the screen of their own worries and fears. As a result, they won’t even see the pink lip balm, nude eyeliner, or clear nail polish [feminine differentials] that you are too afraid to try out.
Girlfriend, here is my challenge to you. Make a list of three small/subtle girly things that you have avoided while going out into the world. If you are a new girl and can’t think of three things, then use my list in the paragraph above (pink lip balm, nude eyeliner, and clear nail polish). Next week you will pick 3 days and on each of those days do just one of those girly things that scares you.
I am sure that nobody will even notice or make any remark. After each of your outings, I want you to come back and share the girly thing you tried and what the response was so that other girls can see that they don’t have anything to worry about.
Much love to ya!

I do many many of those, no comments from anyone, even at the office. Now, I am sure some of my coworkers have realized it, but in today’s environment they probably do not feel at liberty to comment. In that sense today’s inclusive and politically correct environment is great! I am protected and cannot lose my job because of my preferences. On the flip side, I am not sure if I am accepted or just tolerated. But this uncertainty is better than the option of being rejected or penalized.
