@kosisochukwu_chime: If women stopped and asked themselves how many of the things they do in the name of self-love are actually shaped by the male gaze, I think the conversation would be very different. Society has long set expectations for women. Even when those expectations are repackaged as self-love or self-improvement, they don't automatically stop being social expectations. Changing the label doesn't necessarily change the underlying standard. #literacy #socialcommentary #fyp #beautystandards #conversation
I shave my armpits because I prefer it that way. It has nothing to do with beauty standards.

I'll be the first to admit I shave because I feel gross when i don't. i can also admit i feel this way because patriarchy convinced me it was gross... It's hard to unlearn 100s of years of psychological conditioning, but we're trying.

this video is going over a lot of yalls heads 😭. Shes not saying you can't do those things, but we gotta start being real with ourselves. Once I realized the only reason I was shaving was because I was scared of people thinking i was gross, Ive cut down shaving to 2-3 times a year, and I only trim in senstive areas to avoid itching. I enjoy doing my makeup being dolled up but I'm starting to cut down on how much makeup I use because I wanna feel beautiful without it!

bare minimum if they want me to believe they do it for themselves they gotta stop acting like those of us who don’t shave are weird or gross 💅

I think her point was very exaggerated but she has a point. if women having no fingers was a mainstream beauty standard we would be chopping fingers off
