So let's talk the #MaleLonelinessPandemic and why it's the fault of #Capitalism LET'S GOOOO

#SelfHatred is an #Industry. You've got an entire #BeautyIndustry which speaks to that, but also the testosterone #MLM bullshit that's like the "bro" version of #MaryKay. The idea that "you're never enough" is implanted into the brains of everyone.

In #men, this makes them even less #manly, because the most manly thing is to be calm, to be tranquil, to speak softly and to carry a big stick.

From anti-#lookism "I am beautiful no matter what they say" pop star idol to poster girl for "#UndetectableEra" plastic surgery.

It's the same capitalist industrial complex puppetteering a semblance of 'antagonistic' images (products) while cashing in on both - with one hand up an anti-#BeautyIndustry puppet selling you records and the other hand up a #BeautyRegime puppet selling you body image insecurities and the corresponding beauty & style products and services.

It's utterly vile.

Dazed · We are about to enter the ‘Undetectable Era’ of beautyChristina Aguilera’s recent appearance has sparked discussions about a new era where cosmetic procedures are imperceptible, raising questions about what this will mean for beauty standards, ageing and mental health

As it turns out, most men I know don’t even know what cellulite is or haven’t even paid attention to it when having sex with a woman. Meanwhile, women like myself are terrified of wearing shorts or swimsuits because we don’t want the world to know we have cellulite. I have so many questions for the beauty industry.
