Why is it that the more liberated women get, the more grooming we are required to do? When in history did it become that women have to do 201 things to make ourselves presentable, while men only have to shower and shave their faces? Why do we, as women, have to shave our legs, wax our bikini area, shave our armpits, pluck our eyebrows, extend our eyelashes, paint our toenails, paint our fingernails, wear makeup, fix our hair in numerous different styles whether it's short or long, wear jewelry, own fifty pairs of everything, wear slutty underwear and cross our damn legs when we sit? While men's hairstyles are all the same, they own two pairs of everything, wear basic tighty whiteys and can sit any way that's comfortable. Why is lots of hair on the head considered sexy, yet hair anywhere else is considered gross? Why do women have to wear pantyhose and bras? To suck us and tuck us in where nature doesn't want us to be sucked and tucked? Why is everything "fashionable" totally against nature? Why do my boobs flopping around naturally with my nipples pointing out make every else uncomfortable? Why are natural, saggy boobs so ugly? And what's wrong with hairy legs with varicose veins and a poochy belly? Why is looking the way nature intended so fucking bad? It's like the more liberated and "equal" we become, the more society puts it's constraints on our looks and our behavior. I want to know, who exactly is putting these requirements for beauty upon us. I might be free to vote and join the army, but I damn well don't feel free. I feel pressure everyday from everywhere to look a certain way and act a certain way and even to feel a certain way. It's fucking bullshit. I hate society and I hate the fact that if I rebel, I will be ostracized. I hate that everyone lets the media and advertising companies tell them how things are supposed to be. I hate that I have to wear a bra. I hate that I have to shave my sensitive legs and get razor burn every fucking time. I hate that people think women look "better" with makeup on. I hate that I can't shave my head without everyone having a fucking cow about it. I hate that according to society everything that I am naturally is everything that society says is ugly.
