Fuck off Yahoo news. Who gives a shit what hairstyles guys love and hate on women? Wear your hair how YOU feel comfortable wearing your hair, not according to what some skewed Yahoo news survey of men claims. The "One 'screams romance'" part particularly annoyed me in this screen shot. Yes, because we are all seeking out romance, and we are all willing to change our hair in order to reflect that desire, and therefore to obtain our wishes. I couldn't even bring myself to read this article/watch the video because the whole concept of it annoyed me.

Thin Shaming.

I re-blogged this image as soon as it came through my feed on my Tumblr. I knew the original image that has been circulating the internet didn’t sit right with me for a reason. While I have to comment on the fact that many women and girls (celebrities or not) suffer from eating disorders in order to attain an unhealthy weight, and this is not okay, there are also many women and girls (celebrities or not) who just have certain body types genetically, whether it be thin or curvy, or a wide array of the countless body types that are out there. No one should be shamed for having a particular body type. And women especially need to stop shaming other women for having one body type or another. It isn't healthy for anyone.

My Balding Eyelids.
As if there wasn't enough out there making women feel like we constantly need to be working on and worried about our appearances, there is now Latisse.
I don't watch TV. The most TV I see is when I sit down at the table in the kitchen to eat something, and the woman I live with, or her son, is watching TV, and I watch while I eat. Today I was simply passing through the kitchen long enough to see a commercial for Latisse, "a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker." Their target seems to be women 40+ whose eyelashes have become thinner, or less in amount.
Is it just me, or do the eyelashes in the before picture look fine and normal to you?

I don't feel like dragging on about eyelashes, it's just something I found interesting and wanted to point out. As if there aren't enough companies out there trying to buy into women's insecurities by targeting our weight, cellulite, breast size, skin, hair, teeth, nails, etc, etc, etc, we now have to worry about our eyelashes.
Stupid.
