[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it to fascinating that someone made this a post because the ad also makes me VERY uncomfortable and I consider myself a woman that is for body positivity, nonbinary, women with body hair etc.  I feel like the more powerful ad would be if she accepts her mustache but I find it so weird she goes from being uncomfortable to going the other direction of being over the top.  No teenage is going to walk into school and dance around like that.  It just seems bizarrely untrue to life.  Had she just kept the mustache without the costume/dance--that would have been touching.

That's my theory of my reaction anyhow....  [/quote]

There is a fantasy like feel to the commercial, so I think it’s not supposed to be truly realistic. At least I think. Ads like this remind me that I’m getting old and that more and more often I’m not going to “get it”. To me, they are a beautiful girl/person who wears makeup well, cares about their clothes, has a fashion point of view, and even though someone tried to make their brows “natural”, those were definitely professionally shaped. So it doesn’t follow that this person wouldn’t wax or bleach if they didn’t like the moustache. And if they have hair because of hormones, then I’m not sure why they would be unhappy with it. It seems like an ad that someone without real knowledge would put together. Like if a person time warped from the 60’s made an ad about coming out as bi to your gay parents. Just off somehow.
