Like… I’m not one to yuck someone’s yum - and at 42 I’ve certainly had work done, but it’s not as much about insulting looks as a psychological study into the bizarre influences and self hate impacting the high profile MAGA women. It shows how little autonomy they really hold.

None of those women (while extremely evil) would have been considered conventionally unattractive before surgery, fillers, Botox, hair bleaching and dying, micro blading, etc. But they felt the need to fall into a very exacting standard that doesn’t even align with overall American fashion trends

There’s obviously a fucking lot to unpack there and I’m not a psychologist or sociologist.

@hacks4pancakes one parallel that comes to mind is https://mastodon.ie/@EmilyGB2023@chaosfem.tw/115023224416380973 , in particular:

“patriarchy demands of all males that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves”

Is this not also a form of cult-conformist self-mutilation? Just physical rather than emotional (because our society judges women by their looks).
