    Nah, ignoring the fact that anyone doing what she’s doing is literally evil, I don’t comment on the way someone’s body exists in this world. Now, if someone goes out of their way to style their appearance, I use a different ruleset.

    If someone has control over something and has obviously spent time on presenting it a certain way (e.g. color combinations, outfit style, cool earrings), then it’s a matter of taste. I love to hand out compliments in person about stuff that like. And I don’t feel bad about similarly criticizing rich, war profiteers online.

    That brow shape is not a natural brow. In fact, she appears to be trying so hard not to have a natural brow that it makes me wonder if a unibrow once personally insulted her.

      That thread ender, holy. Well said.

      I’m thinking she could have made mistakes on her brows early in her life. That could also be the case.

      Someone’s choices about how they handle or present their body are just as much a part of their appearance as the way their body was made at birth, so your elaborate excuses fail to get you off the sexism hook, from which you hung yourself quite clearly earlier.

        Elaborate excuses? It’s just me explaining my thought process.

        Do you go this hard against people making fun of the fit of Trump’s suits?

          No, because that is not part of a systematic program to diminish men and undermine them from occupying positions of power. When women are equally represented in power and comments about women’s appearance are equally random and not 100% fucking predictable then I’ll handle all such comments the same, and not before.

          You’re really far behind here if you don’t understand this, but I don’t expect a lot from someone who would make an openly sexist remark in public, I guess.

            So I can’t criticize a woman’s eyebrows, ever, because some dudes make surface level remarks about innate characteristics and dip?

            You’re conflating objectification with a critique of execution.

              How will you make it through life without the ability to criticize a woman’s eyebrows? I leave that grand challenge to you.
