And we have normalized this kind of ideology. Case in point, I'm tutoring a student this summer, meeting with her twice a week. She skipped once, so we set her up with a make up appointment with one of the other tutors. Next time the student and I met, she goes on and on and on about how she didn't know that she had previously met the other tutor once because "oh my god, when she actually cares enough to put on makeup she looks so different.".
I just hated hearing that. First of all, girl, you come here everyday wearing outfits that look like pajamas, you don't get to critique other people. Second of all, whether or not people wear makeup says nothing about how much they care. Frankly, there are some days that I couldn't give two fucks about how I look, but I'll still have a facefull of makeup. Why? Mainly because I like doing makeup, also because fuck you. Another point, I just hated the student's tone. The way she spoke implied that the tutor didn't look good without makeup. That's another fuck you, because she's goddamn beautiful and it's taken her years to be comfortable enough to leave her house without makeup and I'll be damned if I let you say anything to her about it
