  The media is made up of individuals with their own choices or autonomy. It’s fair to say “I wish this got more representation in media” but it’s entity unfair to criticise specific individuals for not upholding a specific standard. The original premise was “what if being clean shaven was her choice?” in which case it would be nobody’s place to hold that against her.

    Women being hairless is a manufactured media campaign. We are born with hair, we grow hair, hair on women is natural. The prevalence of showing women as hairless below our eyebrows is a deliberate choice and it is not simply down to individual preferences.

      Again, nobody has an obligation to change their body for the sake of normalizing a certain beauty standard. If the actor doesn’t want to grow out it’s their right not to do so. You can’t criticise individuals for industry trends.

        I didn’t criticize their individual choice.

        I am criticizing the media for only showing women as hairless.

        Do I need to explain this again in different words for you to understand I’m not attacking the actresses’ personal choice?
