What I noticed in the top comments is also that many of the beauty standards mentioned are racialized, either appropriated or just plain racial. (E.g. thick lips, the hair curlies, the thin/drawn on eyebrows).

🙃

There are mentions of beards, full public bush, overly white teeth, and tats. This thread isn’t just about women.

Yeah but I’m a lady and can comment lol it’s doesn’t specify the gender

Agreed BUT TBF he did not make a reference to women. It could apply to man too. Which is also stupid because it doesn’t matter who you are you have the right to be what and how you want!

Ugh, I HATE when women present themselves in ways they like. They should be focused on appealing to ME, a man they aren’t attracted to in the slightest.

Women? Not only op didn’t set any sex or gender constraints, but for what it’s worth, disagreeing with a beauty standard doesn’t mean you necessarily find it unattractive. It just means you don’t think it’s the right standard.

For me, I disagree about perfectly white teeth. I prefer the ivory shades, not yellow, just ivory. I steer clear of any tooth whitening products.

I don’t see it. I don’t find it gross at all, and wouldn’t find the opposite version gross either if I saw it on c/womensstuff or something.
