Don’t get me wrong. There is literally no greater joy to me then spending an hour or two donning face masks, trying out every lotion and potion that I can get my hands on and Yano primping and preening. I love it. It’s so fun and yet…
Is this a tool of female empowerment? Or is the beauty industry actually the final frontier of the feminist moment?
Think about it…
💅While many individual autoimmune disorders are rare, they’re together the third most common disease category after cancer and heart disease and affect about 8% of the population. The s*x bias for these diseases is stark; four out of every five patients are female. Is this just God continuing to punish us from eating from the tree of knowledge.. thanks EVE!!!! Or is this because we are bombarded with tens of thousands of endocrine disrupting chemicals from an early age, all in the hope of being perceived as beautiful?
💅We are all aware of the Gender Pay Gap? What about the beaty pay gap? Whilst our beloved male counterparts are investing, and contributing to their pensions. We… as women have a gender tax looming over us. And that is the tax of beauty. Think about it… everything in your make up bag, your 9 step skin routine, those tweakments to keep you looking fresh. They all add up and further crate a discrepancy between the wealth we are able to hold on to.
💅Women have never been busier. We have careers, children, caretaking elderly parents and of course are trying to have a social life AND we have to keep ourselves to a standard of beauty that society deems acceptable. The beauty industry adds a to do lost of maintenance to our already packed schedule that is for a lot of us, an extra burden that is costing us out mental peace.
