[quote=Anonymous]I think it’s to counteract the 90% of posts that show people on their best days. That said, it still feels contrived to me, and I feel like the only women who ever do this are already very privileged. It’s easier to “be vulnerable” if you feel confident it won’t impact people’s already overwhelmingly positive attitudes toward you. So you mostly see white, UMC, thin, pretty women doing this. And I’ll also note that both the photo and caption here are perfect in their own way. She and her kids still look cute, even if they are crying. She notes she’s working full time — would a SAHM be able to write this without people complaining she “doesn’t really work”? So I get the impulse but like almost everything on SM, it’s still artificial.[/quote]
