ironfoxe:stfumras:spookymixedgirl:stfumras:spookymixedgirl:stfumras:stylemic:Watch: Thousands of years of makeup in one video. Ok I’m sorry but what? We have the POWER to wear any makeup look we want? What damn world do you live in lady We don’t have the power to wear makeup, we are forced to and we are forced to do so in a way that conforms to traditional beauty standards or else we experience backlash. I can’t stand this narrative, that makeup is somehow empowering. I hate wearing it yet I have to in order to be taken serious in the business world. Power my ass woman. OK but what’s empowering to some may just not be empowering to you. But y'know do youThere’s nothing empowering about being raised to think we must alter our faces in order to be found attractive. There’s nothing empowering about having to spend money on products to hide what I really look like so that I can be taken seriously. There’s nothing empowering about being scared to go out in public without makeup on just in case we run into someone, there’s nothing empowering about having a constant dialogue of what woman have to do to be acceptable constantly screamed at us from every media source. Anyway like I was saying what’s empowering to some might just not being empowering to you. Like you literally don’t get to say make up doesn’t empower other women byeI literally do get to say makeup isn’t empowering to women because makeup and the entire industry behind it is aimed at weakening a woman’s sense of self and self esteem and scaring/shaming them into buying a product to alter their appearance and the most glaring way you can see how this is not empowering is by the fact that they DO NOT DO THIS SHIT TO MEN AND why do you THINK women think it’s empowering to wear makeup hmmmm? Could it be that we were raised in a society that values the beauty of a woman over all else? Could it be that we as women were raised to believe that beauty=power? Ya think maybe that could be it? another reason “empowerment” has become an empty buzzword with zero meaning -- source link
