If that makes sense.

Look at the reaction in the Lourdes pit hair thread tbh, for examples of this

The pressure from ‘society’, imo, is from both genders funnily enough lol some women get catty about this kinda **** and honestly Ik a lot of men who prefer women without make up, plastic hair and body features ect

But I don’t think there’s that much wrong with a little bit of work or bothering with your appearance. A lot of women enjoy getting dressed up and doing their hair and make up. People dye their hair certain colours and do different things to their body to make a statement and feel good about themselves. Of course this might imply a bigger problem with society. Maybe we are too dependant on looks. But this is a widespread problem with the modern day and social media that involves far, far more than wanting to impress those darn men that are holding women down,,l
