@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
people doing bbl and swearing they did it for themselves but only did it when it became the beauty standard

By this logic, people don’t do anything for themselves really

I shave because I sweat a lot and smell bad to myself. Not because of beauty standards. People have evolved you know? Back in 1500s people didn’t bath because it was considered unholy. Are you saying regular bathing is patriarchy?

She’s correct but let’s not forget it’s two ways some people are genuinely in love with themselves and would do anything to look better for themselves compliments from people is just a plus

I think this has to do with everything.
There's always an invisible audience we're all performing for.
We don't really want things for ourselves, we want it because someone has it and want to show them we can have it.
This happens even in little things .

She says this w make up on. Yall are no better bc believing the only way a woman can be beautiful is by confirming to said beauty standards is crazy. Make up, lashes, hair, bbls, are things women can and have done to make themselves feel beautiful. Does that mean some of them didn’t get it done for male validation? NO. But saying that ALL women only make themselves up for male validation is insane

The fact that y’all can’t understand the way sensory issues work is actually baffling. Puberty makes people grow more hair and some people shaved it because they didn’t like it and have never had the chance to get used to it. It’s genuinely more male centered to say that men are the reason woman do everything.
