Heh, I ranted about something similar a few days ago. I do think that it's great to see e.g. cellulite normalized as we ALL have it and it's just a simple fact of life... So it is nice to see that hey, my butt isn't really nasty and ugly, it's just a normal butt etc.

But it boils down to the fucking tiresome idea of needing to be BEAUTIFUL and that we're all PRETTY and bla di blah. It keeps annoying me massively that women, no matter how they actually look like, are still basically only valued by their looks and the word BEAUTIFUL is the biggest compliment a woman can wish for.

I personally wait for the day when we are finally free from that stupidity. We're still very much locked and shackled on our looks, no matter how much companies try to sell this to us as some kind of "empowerment." Screw that, I ain't buying it (literally or figuratively).
