No need to add onto this post saying “but if you love to do these things, do you! If it makes you happy to be oppressed, that is good!!” bc guess what, and you’re gonna hate this: nobody exists in a vacuum where they just naturally enjoy forcefully ripping out hairs from the follicle or putting questionable and expensive products on their skin in order to be seen as presentable.
