social media is getting too much into purity culture with not allowing women to show any skin in any form of media they try to make it into a feminism issue and yes oversexualization of women in media is def a problem but its a very thin line between allowing women to represent themselves as they want and people trying to police what they wear or how women should look to be considered "respectable"
the last couple days i've gotten so many people looking down on women who shave and discrediting their reasons and like saying you can't be a proper feminist if you shave and im so tired of it bc like. what happened to our body our choice? very annoyink
idk if this even belongs as a response to this but i feel it comes into kinda same territory
i think i'm deviating from it a bitĀ but euhejieekieji
some of the things women have to conform to are genuinely just a survival thing and fighting it Feels too hardĀ

Ā like some can get away with being unshaven, but for women who are more hairy it's not easy to just rebel and not shave. like sure you can agree with the principle of not shaving to not reinforce beauty standards, but actually stepping outside unshaven knowing full well you will get judged is a different thing, or (i hope it doesn't come across the wrong way) even seeing it in person can be surprising because it is out of the norm as we know it
often you just have to conform to make life a little bit easier and it sucks of course because if you apply that to everything, the argument starts to become less and less valid. for many it's hard to achieve the level of confidence needed to "rebel"
yeah, for sure!Ā
