Our societies (especially in America) value marriage, and puts more emphasis on whether or not a couple is married rather...

I just noticed my own irony and contradiction. I just posted a few posts concerning feminism, the focus on beauty and the perils of growing up in a patriarchal society- yet most of my posts are dedicated to fashion, beauty, and my desire to look a certain way.
