Any time a woman complains about "muh beauty standards" I remind them that we haven't had a president with facial hair since 1912. Almost like everyone is subject to arbitrary standards, not just women.

Furthermore, since women started voting, it has become almost impossible for any man who is bald to win public office, regardless of his capabilities.

Every time women complain about "beauty standards" it's for shit men wouldn't usually notice because the only people judging a woman for her makeup and shit is other women.

I'd argue that there are men that actually care. That would be the Top10 that actually can choose their women because they all want these same men. Of course he'd take those that look the most attractive.

For most other men

  • don't be fat

  • don't be a bitch

would probably suffice (especially nowadays) but they can't bring themselves to commit to these standards. Better replace your eyebrows with permanent marker, amiright.

In China, one of the beauty standards for women was to bind their feet, turning the things into hideous stumps. The process of doing so was painful and left them unable to run. And in Europe, they practically caked their entire faces with makeup, put elaborate wigs on their heads because they couldn't stand the sight of their greasy hair. So don't go crying about the awful beauty standards you have to meet today just spending a few minutes hacking some hair off your legs.

If you don't want to shave your legs, by all means, knock yourself out. But don't cry if the only men you attract are creeps with weird fetishes, and/or who look just as unshaven and slovenly as you want to be since they clearly don't want to appeal to your beauty standards.

On the subjecting of footbinding, it's pretty awful how so many people were forced by adults at a young age to deform themselves permanently for the sake of increasing their status. Kind of reminds me of something...

And the way they stopped it is now used against anything the Chinese government hates.

Embrace your insecurity and appreciate your body.

Fuck off, idiot. Do the work, don't be lazy. Men and women both have to do some work to be appealing, and that's a good thing. This whole 'everyone is great just the way they are' nonsense is just that, nonsense. I'm sick of it.

Me? I should work out more, but I'm not fat, I'm active, and I keep a positive attitude while still holding myself accountable.

Fuck giving up, fuck blaming others for my own imperfections.

"Body positivity" is one of the stupidest things out there, and often very unhealthy and counterproductive. Stop it.

Women created the beauty standards and then complain about the beauty standards.

Do they have a conversation about dressing modestly right after that?

This woman will just end up alone and wondering what happened and then blame patriarchy
