real power is going outside knowing you look ugly and also knowing that if you chose to perform femininity in accordance with patriarchal standards you could look attractive, but genuinely prefering to look ugly and not feeling bad about it. feels good feels organic

Me: shows up to work merely clean and well dressed like all the males there

Boss: you look tired

Me: 🖕

I was in a job orientation once and the instructor was talking about appropriate work attire and literally said “and women….please wear some makeup” and everyone laughed. I, who was not wearing makeup nor do I ever, raised my hand and asked “What’s the required amount of makeup for men?” And that was an amazingly wonderful awkward silence.

hot take: you can’t divorce beauty culture from white supremacy

examples:

the mass popularity of contouring to make your face fit white european/american beauty ideals (high cheekbones, small nose, little to no facial fat, etc.)

snapchat/instagram filters that are designed to make people “beautiful” but almost universally lighten skin, chisel noses, slim jawbones, etc.

the increasing popularity of hair extensions – which are far more common in “white” hair types (i.e. 1a to 2c) than “ethnic” hair types

racialised features such as women’s facial hair, monobrows, thick body hair etc. being unacceptable

white & light-skinned beauty instagrammers exploiting Black culture for their #brand whilst remaining incredibly racist & antiblack themselves

obviously I don’t think wearing makeup makes you a white supremacist but all of these are upholding the idea of whiteness as the ideal. modern instagram beauty culture goes hand in hand with racism and ignoring that is doing a huge disservice to brown & Black girls everywhere!
