One of my favorite bromides about women who don't "make the effort" to prettify themselves is that they must lack self-respect.
OH GOD that makes me incoherent with rage. That. MY GOD. I have heard that one, and it just makes me incapable of seeing straight, because it is INSANE. Because if there are any women out there who are okay with themselves, we are going to BY GOD fix that and make them just as screwed up as everybody else!
p.s. I used to read it when I was really sick with my ED. It invariably made me worse.
