I pinkie promised a nun that I wouldn't be a misogynist, and as childish as it seems, I put an absurdly high value on pinkie promises. With that disclaimer, I feel like women would have a total breakdown if they found out about all the physiognomy stuff.

I'm not saying that every woman needs to be fat or something, but I do think that general society put some pretty bad standards on women and emphasize the wrong things (being dainty and twig-like instead of working out and eating healthy), emphasized in day-to-day life. A lot of women focus solely on being desirable to men, and this desire exists in way too high of a measure even in women who do actually take themselves seriously, as real humans with real hobbies. Women get so focused on reaching societal beauty standards that they end up developing weird neuroses about this.

Given that this weird pressure exists on a societal level, I think introducing my friend to canthal tilt might have gotten to her more than I expected (she brought up a picture of Mother Mary in her apartment that had negative canthal tilt the next day, plausibly as a joke but I'm not sure). I hope it didn't make her neurotic about her own canthal tilt, because I'd feel awful if it did (especially since this spawned out of a joke between me and my roommate about his canthal tilt and her happening to be at our place when this happened).

Fortunately she has too much schoolwork to get further into physiognomy autism.

I think social media and advertising makes things really hard for women. No longer are you competing with other women but you're competing with plastic surgery and photoshop and professional lighting. I see this a lot where men will call a beautiful woman mid just because she doesn't look like some produced-in-a-factory magazine model. It frustrates me and it frustrates me when other women treat beauty as a competition and put others down.
