She’s not wrong. If we all stopped buying into the self-loathing and insecurity that the beauty industry sells us, we could cause the world economy to collapse. We spend $500 billion a year. Imagine if we stopped. Especially if we all stopped at once.

I am evidently womaning wrong because the longest I have ever spent on makeup in my life is 10 minutes, and that was only for special occasions. And I thought I was overdoing it.

Hahahaha, women get SO touchy when other women (gasp!) identify makeup and other cultural values of beauty as being a part of an oppressive system.

Nope. The attorney in this situation is demanding because, like you said, the attorney is forcefully requesting that they remove the images and if not, there will be consequences in the form of a lawsuit forcing them to take the images down.

Hey! Thanks for commenting.

A lot of people in the comments are like “Why is a 7 year old wearing make-up? Why is a 7 year old taking 15 minutes to put on make-up?” There’s nothing in the article that says that Zadie Smith’s daughter was putting on make-up; it says Smith noticed that her daughter was spending a lot of time “looking in mirrors”.…

I’ve noticed. Anything but fawning praise is shut down.

This place is bananers, post something about Jeremy Renner and you’ll see dozens of posts about what a piece of trash he is, how he can’t act, how he looks like angry cat, how he’s a piece of trash. You dare share your personal opinion about a woman and since she’s currently got a photo hacking situation you’re worse…

Don’t photograph yourself nude.

Thank you. The lawyers literally wrote a demand letter, it’s not weird to say that they demanded something be taken down.

What are you talking about?

Yeah that’s the appropriate and typical word choice. I’m not going to “politely request” sites respect my dignity and expectation of privacy.

Until Woody Allen gets a hold of ‘em.

I also think it’s important to note her daughter is 7. I realize I’m a bad judge because some days I only finger-comb my hair and I use cetaphil moisturizer, but no 7 year old needs to spend more than, I don’t know, 2 minutes looking in the mirror on a usual, normal day. I mean, if you’re that focused on how you…

Someone should buy these celebs some polaroid cameras. They’re much, much safer when it comes to taking nude selfies.

“Much like wearing overly-complicated blouses or getting bangs, people have a myriad of reasons for engaging in their beauty routines, and quite often it’s purely for themselves.”

I’m baffled that people are still letting their photos get uploaded to the cloud. The cloud has never been a secure place. In fact it just makes it easier to steal your shit. You think famous people would have people who deal with this stuff for them.

What in any of this makes you think she is unaware of that? On Beauty is all about what good looks afford people. But you probably haven’t read it.

This dismissal of female accomplishment gets stars by Jezebel but her original comments get all the ire? Y’all are strange feminists

Putting on makeup every day is boring and irritating, and I haven’t done it since I was about 25 (and I only did it for about a year). I get makeup as fun hobby, I get that it’s natural to want to look better, but I get bored and annoyed, plus I’m such a goddamn perfectionist... so fuck it. I really, really hate the…
