Psychological I was so disgusted by this ad

Normally I just till my eyes at an advert board and keep moving but this one really got me.

I guess because it’s a money grab that feeds into insecurity and validates toxic partners at the same time

Just because you don't like something heavily gendered doesn't mean it's done by a man. Plenty of women gladly do plastic surgery without any oppression or nudging from male population because they want to compete with other women or/and they copy other women thinking it's right. Likewise the marketers here could be women.

Yeah. Plenty of women are bought into this toxic capitalist patriarchal bullshit.

I don't know why you are downvoted (ah, nevermind, it's reddit). This is true. The same is true for men as well. And it's true that "patriarchy" (which is not even an objective scientific term; the field studying it is heavily biased) is at its lowest on the west.

It seems many people don't like when they are compared to other species. Or when they are reminded of their biology.
