Ophelia

I have heard of your paintings too, well enough. God has given you one face and you make yourselves another

Well Mr Shakespeare I disagree

Firstly is there really a god?

And if so would he really be bothered what a woman’s face looked like?

I’m sure that he’d be no control freak

He’d be OK with a bit of evolution defining our cheekbones

And then some further annotations with lippy and blusher

Then I’d argue that it’s actually the patriarchal society that paints a woman’s face

Misogynists objectify and rewrite women in the image that they want

So any face painting isn’t the decision of an individual

But instead an example of man’s oppression and desire to make women comply with their ideals

I’m calling you out on this one…
