Most of the time, when men say they prefer “natural beauty,” they don’t mean that they’re ready for us to start leaving the house the way we roll out of bed in the morning. They mean that they want us to look perfect without appearing to try. Basically, it’s a trap.

Facebook destroys the hierarchy of closeness, and also of the relevance of information. Weddings, births and deaths are all announced with the same weight as lunches and naps.

The final shot shows a woman talking around a mouthful of cake, plaintively telling the camera, “Don’t look at me like that.” Is this a PSA for eating disorders? No, it’s meant to remind you, as the legend onscreen says, that “Every snack has its price,” and in this case the price is your self-respect.

The person I am today is the sum of these mistakes, and I’m truly not ashamed for having made them. After all, who hasn’t made a few? I don’t think I should have to hide my face because I was young and insecure and overly free with my genitals, but I can’t either stand up and proclaim there’s nothing wrong with sleeping with any guy who asks just because you think that’s what you’re supposed to do. I can’t confuse vulnerability with empowerment.

Touting a preference for male culture while looking down on female culture can be a workaround — a way of benefitting from sexism by aligning yourself with the dominant regime. A lot of women who say they “don’t get along with women” are utilizing this strategy.
