When it comes to beauty, women will do and try anything to make themselves feel and look more beautiful. Why do we go to such great lengths/ One word:men. Men expect women to be perfect even when they are less than perfect. Men no matter how they look or how much they have all expect and some demand to only date women of a certain caliber. Every man wants that perfect 10, even when they are only a 2. Shows like Flavor of Love are a prime example. Although I don't necessarily view the women on that show as exceptionally beautiful, some are cute. Flavor Flav wants a dime piece even when he himself is more like a peso. Women are judged by how they look, not how smart they are or how talented they are. Women risk their lives in order to be viewed as more attractive by society. Prime example: Donda West. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the way she looked, yet she felt the need to go under the knife and change her appearance. This goes to show how vain our society has made even the most successful, intelligent women.
Women spend millions each year on beauty products, everything from makeup to botox. We torture our feet in 3 inch heels. Pay money weekly for manicures, pedicures, and waxes. Pay hundreds biweekly to get our hair done. Buy more clothes and shoes than any one person needs. Imagine how much money we would save in a year if we didn't go through this beauty rituals? It's funny how men can do absolutely nothing to make themselves look better and still get our attention, while we go to the ends of the earth to catch their eye. The woman who shuns these beauty rituals is seen as the oddball, the outcast. Why can't she just be true to herself, without being teased. Not every woman believes her femininity and beauty lies in makeup and form fitting clothes. Some women prefer being natural and they should be commended, not ridiculed.
