Guys, Why do I feel annoyed when other women complain about beauty standards? I feel like it’s usually other women putting pressure on ourselves?

I’ve just noticed this lately. I will be feeling super confident, I workout, stay in shape and do my hair and makeup. But it’s cuz I want to do those things, they boost my confidence. Then some other girl I’m around brings up the beauty standards in our society.

Maybe I don’t feel bad about myself because I am really pretty conventionally. But I feel annoyed when other women complain about these expectations and how it’s men pressuring them to look this way, but I usually get this rhetoric from other women about how we should look.

Why would you get annoyed by that? I don't understand. It's not a personal attack on you. Just because you're conventionally attractive, doesn't mean everyone is as lucky as you. Less attractive people are treated horribly by others, marginalized and even bullied sometimes. These people are just speaking up about their personal experiences. No one forces you to listen to them. You can just ignore them.
