What irks me most about these manipulations, is that apparently, women need to be manipulated one way or another before they are perceived to look good/acceptable. It starts with the simple idea of make up. What do you have to hide? There are so many real people that don't need any of it and look perfectly fine.
That, at its very core is what bothers me so much about all the recent drama on these kinds of subjects. People fight for personal freedoms, but they achieve the polar opposite, because internet (or: public exposure). Its a complete paradox. And it all detracts from the game / subjects its really about - whichever way the dice roll, really.
