The only instance when any of those things are harmfully “objectifying” is when a person has no choice in doing those things (or when they feel as if they have no choice, ie. a woman feeling that she is not valued or treated well enough without make-up on). When I make the personal choice to wear any amount of make-up, I do it for myself. I’m not dressing for a man, or any other person I’m trying to impress. Which means I’m not looking for your comment of disapproval, no matter how big I paint on my cat eyes or on the days when I don’t wear any make-up at all. This is a personal choice, and I don’t give a fuck how you feel about it. I’m not doing it to objectify myself, I’m not doing it for anybody but me. Why is it that a woman’s choices become the business of anyone she comes in contact with? Why am I to be judged for wearing lots of make-up (“you’re pretty, why don’t you wear less make-up?”) or for wearing none at all (“you look tired, are you sick?”). This is the same mentality that tells people that other choices a woman makes are meant to be judged by others. She wears short skirts? She must be a “slut,” which means if she is raped, you’ll be less likely to hold her rapist accountable. She has a situation that you don’t know about or understand, and for her own reason, chooses to get an abortion? Well, the people who know better have to step in and stop her, to force her to carry a fetus to term that could wreak havoc on her life, her health, and the lives of those around her. Until the choices of women- from how much make-up she wears to the personal health decisions she makes- stop being considered public grounds for discussion and judgement, there will still be a need for feminism. So in conclusion, get your sexist, uninformed, misogynistic meme the fuck out of here.  ~puts on eyeshadow as she reads this~
