Look idk you, but do you get upset when people say you’re chio?
Yes, I do, especially when I am not looking for those remarks, even if they may be compliments. Unwanted attention is unwanted. I'm more than just a pretty face.
It might be a gender thing, but it can be seen as micro aggression against women. I don't like the term "beauty and brains" because it seems to signal that women who are beautiful are expected to be intellectually inferior and vice versa, but being both is a rarity. Maybe you don't mean any harm, seeing that it's very deeply ingrained behaviour, but we can be better.
