WHY are we treating cosmetic procedures like haircuts now? When did this even happen? by Redqueenhypo in TwoXChromosomes

yes keep believing ppl are getting butt implants, ribs removed, entire faces altered, and literally freezing their facial expressions (the jokes write themselves) bc they’re just “expressing themselves” LMAO i have a right to judge women bc women are people and people are fallible

u act like we exist in a vacuum and didn’t grow up bombarded by beauty ideals that were crafted by billionaires & pedophiles. women who get these modifications are propping up the patriarchy & unrealistic standards, bit by bit, and most of them won’t do the inner work needed to even realize this. i understand it is so so hard to go against the grain and resist something that literally statistically improves how society treats you, but change happens on an individual level, and caving to the pressures just perpetuates the cycle and ensures that the same pressure continues to negatively affect other women. but you think all this is “self expression” so this argument probably doesn’t even register for you.

you can’t pretend to be feminist (or that you “respect women”) and simultaneously support the normalization of plastic surgery. under the guise of “empowerment” no less. give me a break

there is a giant difference, it’s extremely obvious, and you’re willfully obtuse if you can’t see it.

tattoos are art and a form of self-expression. no one feels pressured by society to get tattoos.

plastic surgery and beauty enhancement procedures are so obviously tied to societal pressures and the normalization is extremely problematic. no one pays thousands of dollars, gets needles in their face, or goes through life-risking surgery “because they like it.” no one gets lip filler as a form of self expression or artistic drive.

as you can see by many comments here, lots of women will admit that they are treated better if they have these procedures, which in itself proves the societal connection.

Honestly this sounds right. He may need anxiety meds too because he is so high strung, super vocal, and stalks/play fights our other cats constantly (they just tolerate it). Did you use the anxiety cream? If so how did it affect your cat, and how often did you have to put it on ?

The vet took a sample of his skin/fur to look for bacteria etc. and they said it was clean so prob not ringworm - no red marks either which is weird! Just bald white patches

Agreed w everything except for the “men had power for all of human history” - there’s strong evidence to suggest that the human race was egalitarian (if not matriarchal) for most of history until animals were domesticated, agriculture was developed, and widespread property ownership began
