    Beards. I never understood why some women find it so sexy. But I am okay with people having different tastes. What is icky is that some women have made such a huge deal about them that it gets borderline unfair for men who don’t want to bother with grooming or those who cannot grow a full beard.

      My SO would never let me shave mine. It’s also a good way to immediately change my appereance/look 10 years younger if I ever want/need to.

    thanks to all the men in the comments providing women with a free incel blocklist. your opinion may be useless, but at least no one appreciates you.

      God forbid that people have opinions… Life could be fun, but we don’t want that! Seriously, your only reason for existence on social media seems to make other people’s day worse. That is miserable.

    I’ve always disliked plastic surgery, botox and heavy makeup. But that’s normal enough

    My real hot take is I am disgusted by long, fake nails. They make my skin crawl. They’re so cumbersome, I truly don’t understand how people love with them

    Edit: Thread is locked; it somewhat spiraled from what I originally envisioned for the discussion. Just wanted to dump by thoughts in this edit.

    I created the thread from a perspective more of pointing out things people do to their bodies in the name of “fashion” or “beauty” that are invasive, cumbersome, or unnecessary, when people should be proud of the bodies they have. Some took this in the same light but others didn’t.

    I would have liked to have a whole discussion about it, communicate my perspective a little more clearly, but by the time I came back after work to view the monster I’d created, the thread was locked. It’s a shame that we couldn’t have a more mature and nuanced discussion about what it means to follow a beauty trend to everyone, but I suppose it’s better that rhetoric not escalate

        Truly ironic people are trying to say you’re the racist for calling someone else out for espousing racist rhetoric.

          The racist is the one bitching about long nails, a predominant standard of beauty in black culture, and how much it makes them uncomfortable.

          Like, no one needs to hear your judgement of someone else’s choice of personal expression. Ever heard the phrase “ain’t got nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all”? This is where that applies.

            Long nails are a thing with women of all races. I wouldn’t call it predominantly black. I’d call it predominantly tacky.
