Eyebrows and the pain of "beauty"

Okay, who invented eyebrow waxing? Why are "natural" brows not just "naturally" acceptable? Who decided that eyebrows needed "tending to"??? Huh? Probably some guy. There is always "some guy" that is behind every painful "beauty" regimine that we somehow buy into and subject ourselves to. WTH?

Eyebrow waxing, stilettos, pantyhose, hours of working on hair, hours of working on makeup. The burn of hair dye. Mascara in the eyeball. Water bras, underwire. Deoderant that feels like it will never dry or that leaves "balls" in the pit (even if it is freshly shaven). Bikini waxing. Powder here, perfume there, toothpaste, floss, mouthwash. Hair gel, mousse, hair straighteners, hair curlers.

What is it that men have to do in comparision? Doesn't seem quite fair, huh? Do you know that the human species is the only species where the female attracts the male with her efforts? It is usually the other way around. Not fair. LOL
