n. the eerie, forlorn atmosphere of a place that’s usually bustling with people but is now abandoned and quiet—a school hallway in the evening, an unlit office on a weekend, vacant fairgrounds—an emotional afterimage that makes it seem not just empty but hyper-empty, with a total population in the negative, who are so conspicuously absent they glow like neon signs.

Men.
Do you realize that in your fallacious attempt to “liberate” women from our make-up and high heels by proclaiming “I love natural/real girls” that you’re, in fact, enforcing the same patriarchal ideals you seek to destroy by assuming we do these things for you in the first place?
