[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Are more women finally making the connection between the beauty industries emphasis on anti-aging products and the pedophilic nature of patriarchy? has it finally hit you that your obsession with not looking "old" caters to the predatory male gaze?"

Agree or disagree?[/quote]

I have only skimmed the responses so I apologize if I missed something. The level of discussion on womens issues on a womens forum continues to be disappointing.

The entire concept of “beauty” is rooted around two primary principles 1) health and 2) fertility.

The emphasis on anti-aging measures is to simulate women appearing in their most fertile years. I forget the age range but it is VERY young by our modern standards definitely partially underage although NOT pre-pubescent.

But yes, I do agree with your point that beauty/anti-aging efforts are an attempt to appeal to male desire. There is a health element to it (staying fit and disease free) which I believe can be separated from the male gaze.

Rant over.

PS shaving privates is a modern offshoot of catering to the male gaze by emulating p0rn.

PPS the purpose of make up is either to improve appearance of health / fertility / youth OR simulate the appearance of biological sexual arousal.
