[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The person who thinks all the negativity is from older women is incorrect, I'm one of the pps and I'm Gen X.[/quote]

I'm a negative elder Millenial.   [/quote]

Sorry, but also an older woman.[/quote]

Yeah I know that. I'm just stating that we elder millennials maintain exacting standards. Workout, dress up, and don't let everything grow freely. Have some self respect.  [/quote]

I do all of those things, too, but it’s interesting that you equate it with self-respect. It’s just learned behavior, nothing more. Strict adherence to cultural norms is really more about following without questioning, about wanting to fit in. I’d argue that the people who go against the grain really have more self respect.[/quote]

One of the defining symptoms of depression is not grooming up to normal standards.  It's not a far stretch to day that people who don't groom per conventional social standards [b]may be suffering from self worth issues.[/b]

I've noticed that in Florida, some women are growing sparse beards and it appears to be a fashion choice. I don't think it enhances their looks but it is a conscious grooming choice, at least. Even in that case, I'm opposed to it. Part of being human is appreciating and seeking beauty.  There is something perverse and against the human spirit to actively cultivate ugliness-- in looks, in interior design, etc and then pretend that people are lesser for reacting negatively (as humans do) to ugliness.

Gosh. If some of them are, do you think it might be because people are already telling them they’re ugly/weird/etc. I guarantee you, in a lot of cases where young women have stopped caring about body or facial hair, they were already targets for others’ mean comments. Waxing wasn’t going to get them anywhere. They’re dammed if they do and damned if they don’t, because so many women—the ones with the real self-worth issues—just need someone to cut down to feel ok about themselves.[/quote]
