@punkreginageorge: no i’m not saying if you’re conventionally attractive you can’t be an intellectual. no i’m not saying i’m a true intellectual. yes i do think plastic surgery is anti feminist, no i will not budge on this. no i also do not think that everything a woman does has to be pro-feminist.
I fear this take tries so hard to be leftist that it swings back towards the right. Undermining the intellectual ability of women because they were pressured into getting cosmetic surgery in order to be treated better by society is inherently misogynistic. It ignores the systemic issues that contribute to WHY women would get these procedures done in the first place, and reinforces stereotypes about a woman’s appearance dictating her intelligence.

controversial opinion but if you believe in and use terms such as “true intellectual” you’re not an intellectual at all and need to spend some time off the internet to learn how to think for yourself

Idk plastic surgery can many times be beneficial in a medical stance not necessarily for cosmetic reasons

why would getting cosmetic surgery make one less intellectual? does getting braces, or getting a mole removed make one so?

Anyone that disagrees needs to reassess their priorities, it's fine to not be super attractive

No you’re so right what feminism needs is more unnecessary commentary on women’s appearances 👍🏻 misogynists would love this take, isn’t that enough to tell you it’s dumb?

It’s always the girls that are skinny, white, and the definition of the western beauty standard that have these takes. If someone modifies their body in other ways (piercings, tattoos, haircuts) to look how they want, are they also incapable of being a “true intellectual”?

In the most respectful way being conventionally attractive and having this take is a little off

this is such a crazy take to me bc all of the arguments are that 1. women who get plastic surgery are feeding into patriarchal ideals or 2. they care how others view them but never ONCE in my adult life have i thought to myself “i need to be pretty for someone else” but i do need to feel pretty for myself. i like to look a certain, unique way because it makes me feel good about myself. and if i choose that a nose job will make me feel better about myself, that does not mean i am not intellectual. such a strange concept to have

I definitely disagree with this take to begin with BUT you are also extremely conventionally attractive/white/CIS so it feels like this take is coming from a place of privilege as well. I do see where you’re coming from tho!!
