consumer society

Maybe we'll get to that point? It can be, because the consumer society has seen how profitable it is to promote the pressure of aesthetics also in men. But it is also macho, because it serves to fuel misogyny (also among women): think of archetypes like the slut that does not shave, the hairy feminist or the bearded woman.

The fact is that it is a serious issue, not so much seeing it in isolation but relating it to all the forms of symbolic violence that women face and that make us feel bad in our own bodies, which, as Naomi Woolf explains Princess Hair Review, weakens us as political subjects.
