Woman Has Botox on Her Face

Alright, so then this other woman, Lauren, Gotham's hitty, I suppose.
She posted this as a very big, big tweet.
Somebody posted, is this before slash after convincing enough of you to get Botox?
And this is a woman who took the Botox.
It's a black woman.
She took the Botox and she can't make any expressions, right?
So she's trying to look surprised.
She looks the same, right?
She's trying to get snarly.
She looks the same, right?
So the practice, and she wrote, the practice of paralyzing facial muscles to mute natural expressions is, I think, a way patriarchal beauty standards erase women's individuality in favor of constructing a docile or docile feminine existence.
Oh my gosh.
So after, I don't know, Mary Shelley Wollstonecraft vindication of the rights of women, 150 years, 170 years.
Let's say 150 years.
So after 150 years of feminism, women are still blaming men for their own decisions.
Now, I don't think I've ever met a man who prefers...
Have you seen these glow-ups?
Like a woman who looks kind of natural.
And then she gets a glow-up.
And the glow-up is, you know, puff-adder, lip-filler.
It is, you know, really streaked hair, wild amounts of makeup, and she goes from, you know, sort of fresh-faced local beauty to kind of weird, cute-y sex doll robot face.
And you actually can see this happening in some of the MAGA women as well.
It's just not appealing.
It's not attractive.
It's not attractive.
So the idea that it is men who are demanding Brazilian butt lifts, and the men are demanding These weird, stuck-in-a-pool-drain pillow lips, or that a woman can't make any facial expressions to remove a few wrinkles from her face.
And again, maybe there are, I don't know, porn-addled men out there who just say, well, this is how it has to be.
But I don't see it.
I don't see it.
I've never really experienced it.
I've never, I mean, I've done thousands of call-in shows with people who are having, you know, these sort of major issues in their life.
I've not once had a call-in show with a guy who says, I'm no longer attracted to my wife because we're aging.
That I'm not seeing.
Or, I don't want to kiss my wife because her lips are a normal human volume.
I mean, lips do thin out over the course of life, which is why the pillow lips is trying to reach for youth.
A woman who's with a husband who loves her for her virtues does not need any of this crazy stuff to be attractive.
I mean, obviously, you need to stay in shape and relatively healthy, and all of that gives you kind of a glow, I think, that's really attractive and appealing.
But my wife and I played sports with friends for two hours last night.
I mean, she's as healthy as they come and beautiful to me.
The idea that men want this stuff and women just have to acquiesce.
This was an old Kevin Samuels thing when he was talking to the women in the black community, right?
So he was saying, like, men have been asking forever.
Men have been asking forever, don't be overweight.
Women are just overweight.
Men have been asking forever, just have your natural hair.
And black women have these weaves, like they cut their hair totally short and then they weave in this fake hair that is not particularly appealing to men.
And there's a variety of other things you ask for, but...
And he was saying, like, you're just not providing it.
You're just not providing it.
So I think that women want to look a certain way, and they believe that that is really attractive to men.
Yeah, the nails, too, and all of that kind of stuff.
I mean, when women walk around in heels and then complain that their feet hurt, and heels can actually do quite a bit of damage to your feet, as far as I understand it.
I don't think there's been a single man who says, I'm not attracted to my wife because she's not tottering around in these impractical heels.
That tends to be for other women, right?
And I understand the Botox thing and the pillow lips and, you know, like boob jobs and stuff like that.
I mean, I find that artificial stuff.
It's just repulsive.
Like, it turns my stomach.
I just find it absolutely repulsive because to me, it shows a pathological insecurity.
And making up for a lack of virtue, right?
Because if you're virtuous and noble and kind and gracious and courageous and all that, that's just about as attractive as things can get.
So, makeup, right?
I mean, it's obviously not why it's called that, but to me, makeup is I'm making up for a lack of virtue.
I'm trying to be more physically attractive so that you'll overlook red flags in my personality.
Makeup to makeup for...
Moral deficiencies.
