People have written sociological papers since the 60s about the pedophilic overtones of society and how women are expected to look and act. And how it has made the beauty industry BILLIONS. Mascara to widen the eyes like a toddler. Doe-like and “innocent.” Concealor to hide all
evidence of any blemishes or aging or sun spots. Waxing and shaving is a CLEAR one. Body hair is there for a reason but women who have it are seen as unkempt, gross, ugly, unsightly, but MEN HAVE THE SAME THING BODY HAIR. It’s there to keep our vaginas clear of bacteria.
We shave it or wax it to appeal to the pedophilic nature of society’s and patriarchy’s expectations of women.
Tall women are are laughed at and shunned dating wise. There are TV shows about it. VICE did that video everyone laughed at that went viral of the girl who waited for her Tinder date meet up and when the guy would arrive, she’d stand up, and he’d be like “WHOA” or walk away.
Women in the porn industry FOR SURE can tell you how that shit is true.

And why a contributing factor to Ariana Grande’s success, while I LOVE her talent, will always be that she is a grown woman who look like a pre-teen.
At the end of the day, you gotta examine what makes YOU feel beautiful and RE-EXAMINE all of the messages you’re getting about what you need to be considered beautiful.

Cause it’s REAL sick and twisted out here yall
