“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…
