  1. women standing up against the idea that their highest value comes from their physical attractiveness to a male-dominated public is somehow "cheesy" and "stupid" to you two?

  2. It's a vicious cycle that reinforces itself with society's acquiescence and approval. On one hand, women have liked to artificially embellish their facial features and adorn themselves with accessories and dress up in all sorts of extravagant wardrobes since the great civilizations of antiquity. On the other hand, it has been accepted as not only a normal practice, but has turned into a competition for women for mens attention. Men are naturally attracted to signs of youth (smooth and tight skin, lush hair, smaller frame). What started as women trying to look younger and more sexually desirable (generous red lips and blushy red cheeks as if natural excitatory processes were taking place within them), has turned into not only adult women trying to appear youthful and sexy, but now young girls trying to garner the same attention by looking older and sexy- a slippery slope from detached superficiality and lowered self-esteem, to all out trauma. You see, society itself has an innate way of forcing these things on our females. Mainstream media and popular culture teaches our female youth that you need to be skinny and pretty- and I'd even go so far as to say slutty (they call it "hot"). Think about where they get their view of reality and what it means to be successful. From a young age they watch scantily clad sultry pop stars dancing around provocatively and are bombarded with subliminal programming in T.V. and movies telling them to be helpless princesses in need of a prince to come buy them all the shiny new things they need to compete with other girls. Don't believe me? Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O2CKKtvwUE . By the time a little girl reaches puberty, depending on her rearing, they are already weight and appearance conscious. These practices are taught and learned behavior that is adhered to for- what are essentially- the demands of survival as placed upon our female gender by a very misguided society that has accidentally wandered a little too far off into the absurd. (Sidenote: The sad part is that it in some circles of research (especially pertaining to the sexualization of our youth) it is considered to be a very real conspiracy with which a small financially dominant class will be better able to control the masses in the future- which is always now from the perspective of a generation ago). Hopefully that answered your question.

  5. Good job ladies! Modesty is sexier than slutiness. Yes, I'm slut-shaming. Women are taking back their power, and it's not only in their looks. The kids will be better off this way too, which in turn heals the female gender (and all of mankind) for all of posterity.
