Beauty companies now want women feel insecure about our insecurities
Jessica Valenti: Be sorry. Don’t be sorry. Just don’t be anything because a shampoo ad tells you to
Ask for more money. Stop with the “up-speak”. Love your body! The helpful pieces of very public advice thrown at women sure are starting to sound more like orders than encouragement. And the latest bit of go-get-‘em girl guidance – a commercial from Pantene imploring women to stop apologizing for everything – has just about sent me over the edge. Because instead of just selling us physical insecurity by implying we’re fat or wrinkly, beauty companies are now trying to make us feel insecure about our insecurities – all while giving themselves a pat on the back for “empowering” us to feel better (and collecting our money, of course).
Rest.
