anchor of my eye

At the makeup store I worked at we used to get men coming in w their wives/girlfriends and they would often scoff at everything and one time a guy maybe in his early 50s came in w his family and while his wife & daughter were looking around, he and his son stood near the counter and he was like “don’t you wish you were a boy? Haha!” and when I asked why he replied “then you wouldn’t have to waste time with all this useless stuff!” and then went on to be like ‘lol silly vapid women ur all so vain haha’ for a while. I got sick if it eventually and was like “yeah it is a waste of time, things would be much easier if we didn’t have to worry about makeup or boring stuff like doing our hair and shaving :)))) You should probably tell your wife not to bother anymore :) because it’s such a useless waste of time :)))” and suddenly he looked really concerned and he was like “oh but shaving is for hygiene! And I mean she ENJOYS all this stuff and…she looks nice so…” and babbled for ages about how not shaving is wrong and how he prefers how his wife looks when she puts “effort” into her appearance.

“When people with privilege hear that they have privilege, what they hear is not, “Our society is structured so that your life is more valued than others.” They hear, “Everything, no matter what, will be handed to you. You have done nothing to achieve what you have.” That’s not strictly true, and hardly anyone who points out another’s privilege is making that accusation. There are privileged people who work very hard. The privilege they experience is the absence of barriers that exist for other people.”

when u decide to ship something ironically just for kicks but then...
