#and if they aren’t loosing money from their imposing of beauty standards on women

[iceyrukia]

You know……the same women who complain about beauty standards and the objectification of women, the ones who go on about how women in Hollywood are forced to adhere to impossible demands based on their looks by ~powerful men~ - are the same ones who will make accounts dedicated to praising the looks of female celebrities and kiss the floor these women walk on- these liberal women legitimately think they have NOTHING to do with upholding beauty standards and when it’s time to talk about it they’ll deflect and act like men are solely the ones upholding it, even though so many women tacitly promote it in some way shape or form.

As long as women are constantly given VALIDATION, MONEY, PRAISE, “LOVE” and STATUS, why would things even change and what’s stopping your average everyday women or young girls from pursuing that high that performing femininity grants women in society? They’ve seen how society ( including other women) value pretty women despite all the fake body positivity and will pursue it even if they’ve read some feminist talking points on how harmful the gender role of femininity (and might even repeat these points themselves like a broken record within it sincerity) because what they gain is worth it even at a price. Women have the power to make it out of the patriarchy but it’s not gonna happen if the patriarchal ideal of what a women should be is praised.
