The Beauty Prison We Built Ourselves
In a world where eight-year-old girls now diet and cosmetic surgery has become medicine's fastest-growing specialty, something has gone terribly wrong with how we view women's bodies. As women gained unprecedented freedoms in the late 20th century-legal rights, reproductive choice, professional opportunities-beauty standards paradoxically became more oppressive. This isn't coincidental. The beauty myth functions as a calculated political weapon against women's advancement, replacing older control mechanisms like enforced domesticity that no longer work in our modern world. For every feminist victory, a beauty-related counterforce emerged: as workplace discrimination laws passed, appearance-based discrimination intensified; as sexual liberation progressed, beauty pornography linked commodified beauty to sexuality; as reproductive rights expanded, pressure for invasive cosmetic surgeries grew. The myth falsely presents beauty as objective and biological when it's actually a currency system designed to maintain male dominance by forcing women to compete in a vertical hierarchy based on imposed physical standards. The timing reveals everything: as women gained social power, the beauty industry exploded from $33 billion in 1980 to over $200 billion by 2000.
