It's amazing how there was a comment that was basically this, and the hivemind mentality took over for another user to just come back with "well maybe she WANTS the silly tattoos and piercings!!!1!" And it's just so sad to see someone completely miss the entire fucking point.
It truly is incomprehensible for these losers to understand that just because group X says something is bad doesn't mean you have to do the exact opposite of it, and in fact swinging that far in the opposite direction will more often than not result in worse outcomes, not better.
But then again, this is all about the instant and self-gratification, not about anything meaningful like actually bettering yourself in spite of something that may or may not have been holding you back.
Or it's a perfectly natural counter reaction after allowing themselves to live in a needlessly constrained manner for a fair number of years. Kind of like how a person who's restricted themselves to a bland diet might easily slip into a little bit of an eating frenzy when reintroduced to more flavored food.
Only the counter reaction here is going to be fueled by a whole lot of regret and resentment towards the source of that lifestyle once they've rejected its reasoning.
And I'd hardly call 3 tattoos and a couple of piercings "far" in the opposite direction.
It might be a natural response, but that does nothing to excuse the complete lack of self control. But honestly, it's no water off my back. She will be the one with the regrets. And she'll probably blame others again, even though it was herself that was chasing that self-gratification high.
Maybe for men, but for women it is not a slippery slope it is a jump off a cliff.
Men think. Women react.
"I'm not going to follow this particular dogmatic rule because XYZ" says the man.
"I'm not going to follow rules because RULES SUCK YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO" says the woman.

As is every woman's God given right, apparently.
