Imposed Inadequacy: The Lie of Beauty Standards

Like, what do we, you know, understand by beauty standards? Mhmm. And I feel that it varies from place to place if you just

There there isn't one. Mean, I'm just speaking as a man. Mhmm. Like, it I mean, it depends on on what you what what what you like, as a as a woman, if you if if you're talking about okay. For because for me, what what what women would generally think of as a beauty standard means what is a beauty standard in the eyes of men because you want to appear beautiful to the opposite sex.

If if it's if it's between women, you know, like like, this is what what we think is beautiful. Okay. That's fine. But if it's not interesting for men, then, you know, this is just for your own enjoyment or your own whatever. But for men, there isn't one, frankly.

There isn't one. There isn't a there isn't a uniform universal standard, period.

Yeah. That's not a prototype.

No. And and the the all there is I mean, why do you have why do you have, for example, beautiful actresses, celebrities, and whatnot who are famous for being beautiful, getting plastic surgery, and changing their looks? Because it's just Shaytaan putting ideas in your head that, oh, a different kind of nose is better than the one I have, different kind of eyes. I mean, the perfect example we we actually we talked about it yesterday. The perfect example is that you have all of these, like, East Asian women.

Mhmm. Like, especially, I think it's very big in South Korea. China, it's also big. Maybe in Japan. I don't know.

But these these East Asian women getting surgeries on their eyes

To to create a double eyelid.

To get the double eyelid. Yeah. So that they don't have the the the the the eyes shape and everything that is distinctive for East Asians. Meanwhile, non East Asian women are are putting on kind of makeup to try to make their eyes look like East Asians.

To create the illusion of

Yeah.

You know, single eyelid.

So it just it just shows you, Yemi. This is just Shaytan playing with you to tell you that however good you may look, it's not good enough, and you should be different. Yeah. That's all it is. It's because Mascarat.

It's mascarat. It's just it's just Shaytan telling you that however you look, it's not it's not adequate. Mhmm. You know? And Shaitan is telling you via and he's telling you via marketing and advertising Mhmm.

To always make you think that it's not it's it's not good enough, it's not better, whatever.

Yeah. And particularly if it comes from the West, it has it's by design, you know, to promote or push, you know, capitalist

Yeah. Of course. You know? Of course. Yeah.

It's it's yeah. I mean, it's it's all it's all for for for selling product.

Yeah.
