‘I’ve never thought of myself as insecure, but I must have been to do that'
‘I was doing a club appearance and took a selfie,’ Molly explains. ‘I remember staring at it and thinking, “I don’t know what I’ve done to my face.” I went from looking like a teenager to someone onBotched. I’ve never thought of myself as insecure, but I must have been to do that.packages”’ the 21-year-old continued. ‘I was 17 when I first got my lips done, and it scares me to think that if I have a daughter in 10 years’ time, what it might be like for her.
Admitting we alter our appearance for the male gaze is not shameful, it’s not something we should be judged for, or make us less deserving of respect. Why? Because life is hard enough for women as it is. If having work done is going to make your life easier, I say get the f*cking work done. I, for example, used to dream of the day I could get a nose job. That was up until I started practising positive affirmations every day, and legitimately brainwashed myself into having my own beauty standards. Now, according to my own brain, I’m a 10/10 regardless of how big my nose is, because it forced me to realise that beauty standards are arbitrary – they change from culture to culture – and I could choose to believe I was the epitome of beauty if I told myself it enough times.
Arguing that women only get work done for themselves ignores how our insecurities are preyed on and profited off of because of the male gaze.
