This is always what I wanna say when people criticize the dynamic in book 1… because Laurent is not acting the way he does because Damen’s his slave- it’s cuz he knows exactly who Damen is: Auguste’s killer and Akielos’s #1 slave OWNER
@Spoildmilq@Isabellazpug Bros just scrambling words together now. No not everything is a double standard??? Yes beauty standards are social pressures??? A woman who walks into a job interview with visible armpit and leg hair will probably be rejected just because of that. A man wouldn’t.
no one is condemning women for shaving leg hair. I shave too, but I do it KNOWING that society pressures me to and sees women (but not men) as unpresentable/unhygienic when they don’t. U can enjoy the aesthetic/feeling of it without delusion that u independently chose to do this
if you find yourself wanting to shave before having your body seen by other people (going swimming, wearing something revealing, seeing a partner) then that's a good indicator that shaving isn't actually just your personal choice and is most likely the result of societal pressure
@Spoildmilq@Isabellazpug Yeah social pressures exist for everyone, duh people don’t want to be around unhygienic bums. But only women are viewed as unpresentable and unhygienic for having natural body hair. It’s literally the most obvious and illogical double standard. Try that IQ test again bro
@cottagec0re_@Isabellazpug Both men and women are expected to have presentable hair when seen by others but only women are viewed as unpresentable when they have natural leg hair. Also having unknotted hair is an actual matter of practicality unlike having body hair lol
its actually rly funny that all the jokes unironically became true and hollywoods takeaway from heated rivalrys success is more straight sports romances rather than queer stories with queer directors at the helm
i feel very obligated to let all the nerds know that there is a free game like geoguesser where you guess the location of origin and time period for art and historical artifacts. really high level:
