[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know if I would use the "oppression," but, yes. I think the societal pressures on women with regards to fashion, weight, and makeup represent an undue burden that men don't have. Imagine if we could keep all the time and money we are spending on lotions, creams, magazines, spin classes, plastic surgery, lipsticks, teeth whitening, high heels, and pantyhose for ourselves! Imagine if pre-teen girls weren't already thinking that their thighs were gross and dreaming of the day when they're old enough to get a boob job. Imagine if a woman were judged on her merits and not on how closely she adheres to society's preconceived notions of what she should look like. Beauty standards are like a prison that we all elect to live in.

Just my opinion. Wax on.[/quote]

Yes.  As soon as I get my eyebrows waxed, damn, it's time for another damn cut and color.  And the toes are chipping, gotta get to the derm for a few more shots of botox, is time to pluck my chin again, whiten teeth, aaaaaaaaahhhhh[/quote]
