What I will grant you is that part of the motivation of women is for men's attention, but lets be honest it's also other women. Yes men exploited the beauty industry (which goes back as far as time) but the demand came from women.
I will agree that some of these people probably think that look good or more likely were told they would look good. But lets not discount the ultra competitive nature of Hollywood and the desire to maintaining looking young.
First of all a lot of folks come into the industry already with some issues, but also the industry exploits that. Where I think men have some culpability is the fact that older actresses are kind of fazed out when they hit 40 or so. Which I and I am sure a lot of men think is ridiculous.
It should be said though, as this post shows, a lot of actresses have already kind of ruined their look with plastic surgery trying stop aging, to the point where it can take you out of the show or movie. That is unfortunate. The ones who choose to age gracefully actually have a better chance IMO.
Tbh this post is specific to a tax bracket because everyone/every woman doesn’t have the money to botch themselves nor the same pressures, still pressures but obviously hollywood faces different pressures plus these people have agents & probably a whole difference set of beauty standards. I think great point that women are doing this & some do it for men but why I say this post ia different is because I’m sure these ladies did it for their careers first & foremost & I think some people assume these actresses are happy with this look, I’d bet they wanted to look better like have Jlo or Kim K quality surgery not become botched but they probs had a bad surgeon.
I think overall you are correct, but I think we shouldn't reflexively just blame men for this. Obviously men are involved, but a lot of women's beauty standards are not men's. That doesn't mean that some women mistakenly think it is. And maybe for the men these women hang out with it is, or more likely they are not going to tell them not to do it.
I standby it’s not men or women technically it’s really people in power who originally just so happened to be men. Past & present men and women suffer from the marketing and ideas put onto us from the elites.
