Beauty Standards: A False Dichotomy

That movie about fighting beauty standards is actually part of the problem. Think about it:

in the film *Misbehaviour*, they show Keira Knightley with a “natural” face that took hours of makeup

to create. They're selling us an impossible version of what a bare face looks

like, contributing to the exact pressure they're supposedly against.

Then, they create this fake choice: you're either a glamorous pageant girl or

a frumpy rebel. You can care about how you look, or you can have opinions.

It's a lie. Films tell you to choose between your lip gloss and your logic,

but you should be able to have it all.
