Yes, not dyeing my gray hair is exactly the same thing as never washing my ass again. Of course! Thank you for explaining it to us Mr. Cappadocia!

My massage therapist told me that her female clients almost always apologize for not having shaved or getting a nice pedi while men show up sweaty and hairy. I hate how American men are pushing grooming as "hygiene." Shaving, nails, hair and make up are grooming, not hygiene.

I mainly call out American men because this is not super common in EU (maybe it is bad in Eastern EU).

I have been playing with the idea of letting my hair just be its natural silver, I've been dying it since I was 12. The gasps of "you'll look old" and "men won't like that "

Ummmm...ok? Literally nothing I do is for the benefit of men.

WHEN WILL THEY THINK OF THE MEN

Thanks for sharing this. This is so true. The "female hygiene" which sometimes is also labeled as "women being professional/courteous/proper" is also economically detrimental. All those so-called "investment" in physical beauty consist of the consumption of commodities that are forever diminishing in return and encouraging women's financial drainage.

It's not a difficult calculation. Just think of all the money you have spent on buying makeup, unpractical clothes, laser/beauty treatments, and such, and then imagine if you had bought the same amount of any major S&P500 stocks for the duration of time that you have been actively using the aforesaid products. In my case, I'd spent around $2000 on all things beauty and aesthetic related in 2017, had I bought apple stock with that money then that $2000 would have tripled now.

This goes hand in hand with another great insight a FDS sister shared a while ago that true self-care is not overconsumption but self-discipline. Why splurge your hard earned money on something so transient for a momentary gratification?

Women already receive a fraction of what men with same or lower qualifications earn. And we are socially obliged to spend so much more on the negative returns. For what though? This has been long studied and well elaborated on in books like Naomi Wolf's The Beauty Myth.

Oh look, another man with an unwashed ass has an opinion. Smelling like shit is pure LVM, so that’s more projection, lol. Makeup is not hygiene and cleanliness, idiot. There are even Reddit posts from the horrified partners of LVM saying that he smells, he won’t wipe and wash his own ass, and even leaves skid marks on the bedsheets. 🤮

Glad he proved her point.

I think that first one woke me up all over again.

bravebeautyx · 2020-12-15T17:55:29+00:00

This ⬆️. Exactly.

When I first met my ex boyfriend’s father,he told me what to wear and what not to wear. Being impressionable at 23 I took his advice.

Lost myself after not being able to express myself in the 3yr relationship. I wore boring clothes bc that’s what my bf wore and thought that was considered acceptable.

Later down the line, my ex boyfriend’s father pulled me aside and said “Do YoU lOvE yOuRseLf?”

Needless to say- I’m don’t with that bullshit.

Honestly the key is never to do it in the first place.

I haven't shaved in like six months. Bras have been out of the picture since March. Make up, never heard of her.

I have so much more free time.

Me too!

It's amazing how we can forget the effort that goes into things which are a daily routine for work / socialising.

For Zoom meetings, all I need is to sit in a spot with flattering light, the touch up filter and my quick front loaded hairdo and I'm set.
