Beauty Tips For Body Care
So it's clear that selfies are a very sensitive and controversial topic, and although they don't personally bother me I can see why people would feel that they don't contribute much with the absence of a before pic for reference. I don't necessarily think that it is fair to limit participation of certain people on this basis, but I respect the opinion and I understand it.But, what I do not understand is why when an attractive man with beautiful skin posts a selfie he is bombarded with praise and positivity, yet when an attractive woman does the same she is more often than not subjected to incredibly rude comments and hostility.This double standard suggests that to me at least that for some the selfie backlash is rooted in catty anger at women with the audacity to share photos of themselves, rather than the idea that a selfie with no "before" pic isn't of much use.If the issue with selfies is truly about whether or not they are useful, then why the huge disparity in reactions here? I totally understand that we get a limited amount of male and minority participation here, so it's really cool when someone outside the usual demographic shares. But, is it really so hard to be kind and encouraging to everyone, including women who, yes, also post for attention because they are excited and happy about their skin?Edit: I suppose the main point I'm trying to make is that if the beef with selfies is all about them not being valuable contributions to the sub, let's just keep expectations consistent and treat all people who post them equally regardless of their sex, age, race, attractiveness, etc!
