A lot of damage is done especially with under-confident youths being influenced by stuff they might not fully understand.
Do you really think that a baby girl born in a sterile environment bereft of external stimuli will want to dress up the way some do?
Remember, these are scientific times we are living in and it's about time we start living as a species (i.e. recognizing imperfections as nature's beauty) and not as the higher life we've been told we are.
If I'm out of order, I apologize, but I find it heartbreaking to see people focus more on their physical appearance than anything else.
I am a Christian, and so I do believe we are a higher species than animals and plants and whatnot (and I'm not getting into a Christianity debate, so please don't try to get me into one)...however, I understand your point of seeing imperfections as nature's beauty...or in my belief, God's creation. However, I think if a girl wants to put on make up and look nicer for herself, there's no problem with that. What matters is that she's not ashamed of what's under the make up.
And I think this picture is purposely over-exaggerated. I don't know anyone who would wear that make up in real life. And if they did, yeah, maybe there would be something wrong with that...but just putting on normal make up I don't see a problem with. The point of make up should not be to cover up natural beauty, but to bring it out, to enhance it. In my opinion, anyway.
Sorry if I'm making no sense, my words are getting a bit jumbled.
Surely if you tamper with what God gave you, that's a bit of sin? You're basically saying "Fuck you God, I'm not happy with how you made me." I appreciate the 'additive' approach, as opposed to the 'subtractive' that my last reply might of detailed. Meh, Crocodiles for Niles on that one.
Happiness doesn't come from outside, happiness comes from within.
If you're happy with yourself, you're happy with yourself. Self-hate is circular and so is self love. I constantly remind myself that I am wonderful and that I could be a lot worse.
But I'm a little hypocrite 'cos even I wear hair wax. 100% Vegan, of course
I'd be a skinhead if my parents took me for what I wanted to be.
I wasn't talking about this picture in the main. I wouldn't be that closed sighted.
