why dont we ever talk about how movies condition girls to associate glasses and curly hair with ugliness because that is so fucking damaging to young girls who grow up seeing girls who look like them always be the “before” of every makeover
read this post. read it again. read it two more times. read it aloud. i want this to be ingrained into peoples’ minds
this is so important. this was me (lucy) as a kid and by aged nine I had fully accepted that I was forever going to be the token ‘ugly girl’ because of my glasses and frizzy blonde hair – so much so that when people laughed at me/made fun, I just dealt with it because part of me was like, ‘it’s probably justified. I mean, look at me.’ What fucking nine year old should have to think like that? Do not let movies condition you into thinking some people are ugly/worthless
