this is a great article i hope its on tumblr so i can reblog it *goes searching for it* (this reminds me of my mom and how she always comments about women getting plastic surgery when she watches dancing with the stars or some other such show. and i'm sitting there like WHO CARES we live in a society that punishes women for being beautiful enough and but as if thats not enough we have to judge them for trying to meet those absurd standards of beauty any way they can? oh its not enough to be conventionally pretty you have to make sure its 100% natural too so barely any make up and definitely no plastic surgery, what a load of shit)
