the thing about fat rolls and cellulite and body hair and all of those things we are told our bodies are not supposed to have is that we have been systematically wired to hate ourselves so that some billionaire can continue lining their pockets. being fat was considered attractive until the 1800s when Sylvester Graham started preaching about "indulgent" foods causing a lack of morality and William Banting decided that being fat was equivalent to being disabled. That, plus changes in the way clothing was manufactured, changing diets, and the invention of human scales led us to suddenly thing fat=bad. And who profits from that? The people who came up with the ideas in the first place. Cellulite was introduced to mainstream knowledge in 1968 in a vogue magazine where it endorced using rolling pins and standing correctly to eliminate it, once again lining the pockets of whoever was selling those bullshit unproven "cures." body hair? not a problem until 1915 when Gillette realized they could double their market by telling women their natural hair was disgusting. makeup is the most obvious form of profiting off insecurities. if it was truly a form of artistic expression, "natural" looks would not be nearly as popular as they are and it would not be seen as being necessary to a woman's professionalism. bottom line is that beauty standards ARE capitalism, and by refusing to buy into them (no pun intended) we are engaging in a revolutionary act. i have been told i am wrong far too many times, and I have quite literally paid the price for it. Self love is an act of rebellion. Self love is a necessary revolution.
