私は、エムリーカーの学生です。For real.
Why should I, or any woman, be beautiful? Why is it so constantly shoved in our faces? 'Tips and tricks' for hiding all your ugliness from the world.
BE BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT! Fuck you. Stop telling me what to do and how to feel about myself and my perceived ~*~Beauty**~*
When women try to 'reclaim' their power over beauty, they do so by simply attempting to re-define the standard to reflect themselves personally, or claim that everyone everywhere is beautiful. (Wouldn't this, in a way, destroy beauty? If a word no longer functions to describe anything, it loses meaning) "Real" beauty VS "Fake" beauty, blah blah
Why not just.. let beauty take the backseat for awhile? Of all possible values to hold, beauty is pretty lame.
I'm not even going to touch the psychological ramifications of obsessing over beauty to the absurd degree that we do. There would be too much to cover.
Now, I'm not trying to say the the concept of beauty is inherently negative, or that seeing beauty, or ascribing it should be frowned upon, I'm just saying it shouldn't be the forefront of human values. Could you imagine if you replaced the value of beauty with something like awareness?
- 10 Logical fallacies that you're probably relying on
- Meta-Cognition, a primer
- 5 Common arguments and how to break them down for analysis.
Instead of
- How to make your eyeliner last for a week!
- Eat this exotic plant and lose weight

How much blame can be ascribed to society, evolutionary psychology, and/ or consumerism? Is there any way out?
