People should be quiet about Emily Ratajkowsi’s underarm hair

People should be quiet about Emily Ratajkowsi’s underarm hair
It’s 2019. Yet, we’re really still here policing women’s bodies and deciding whether or not they must have body hair or not. Despite countless names telling them to politely shut up, time, and time, and time again.  The newest victim of that is model Emily Ratajkowsi – who appears in the newest issue of Harper’s Bazaar US showing off her armpit hair and discussing women’s rights in an accompanying essay.  “For me, body hair is one other opportunity for ladies to exercise their ability to decide on – a alternative based on how they wish to feel and their associations with having or not having body hair,” it reads. “On any given day, I are inclined to wish to shave, but sometimes letting my body hair...

Persons are getting surgery younger than ever before
Is social media really the cause? The conversation surrounding social media’s impact on beauty standards is well worn, but recently it has taken a latest turn - social media’s notable effect on cosmetic surgery, particularly that of the face. A recent study conducted by London-based cosmetic surgeon Dr Julian De Silva found that over the past two years there was a two year drop in the average age of those seeking facial surgery. The common age is now 37-years-old for ladies and 43-years-old for men. And according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 66,347 cosmetic surgical procedures were performed on people between the ages of 13 and 19 in 2016, a virtually...
