“Smile!” Ugh. Need we say more? Societal expectations that women should always appear pleasant, approachable, and agreeable, regardless of their emotions or the situation, are exhausting. ‘Smile’ is only a drop in the bucket of what is known as tone policing…. Women must be stern, not shrill; clever, not arrogant; funny, not flippant; and assertive, not bossy. Soooo many rules.
