not enough people in this thread are condemning the actual root problem, which is the socially constructed bullshit standard of "if you look like you're over 35, then no one wants anything to do with you." especially if you're a woman. it's been this way for many generations. way before social media or influencers.
While you're right about the beauty standards the actual root problem here is
Thank your shitty parents, girl. They don't give a shit what you do.
I'll get abuse for this, but there's no escaping the fact that the other root problem in this is seriously shit parenting
How dare you tell the truth!
that's true, but shitty parenting has been a problem since pretty much the beginning. ever read the bible? good parents will raise kids with enough confidence and self respect to not feel like they have to "modify" themselves to an excessive degree just to show their face in public
I agree with your points here but i think access to social media is exposing youth to that standard and the aceess to the products at an earlier age. This effect could also bleed into men in the sense of their standards for beauty become more unrealslistic as the top models are all they want on their screens.
I don't think it is unreasonable to expect women to have the bodies of a 20 year old while displaying the intelligence and maturity of someone past their early 30s.
You either made an oopsie while writing this sentence, or you’re a real piece of shit.
Yeah, good point. They should also be totally attracted to older men and if they are with a younger guy less critical of their immaturity. And hair that is like normal hair but doesn't clog up the drains.
And a looooooooooooooong jacket.
Wow. What makes you say that?
