Today I had a headache, I had finished my exam, I think successfully, so for an afternoon in a long time, I didn’t have too much to do.
I took the mobile and started to see a little of everything, of that everything in which thousands of advertisements appear, strange news and news that catch your attention despite knowing that they fall within that non-recyclable garbage.
The headline read: “You will be surprised to see your favorite stars without any makeup.” Yes, I confess, I am one of those reckless people who cannot help but click on that stupid news, but it is that “Evil of many, consolation of fools” has always been said and at this point my headache was remitting after a little pill, but my hair and my pajamas could not be fixed even if I took three pills, I needed to raise my spirits by comforting myself with the misfortunes of others. Come on, confess, you have done it once too, the human race is so mean and absurd.
What surprised me is to realize that those who had written the news were stupider than me, since, in many of the photographs, the famous ones were prettier without makeup than with him. They seemed younger, fresher, less artificial … well, it is true that there were some photos in which the poor women had been caught treacherously, come on, they catch me just getting up, or when I take the children to school And they think I’m in the middle of a depression or having a bad personal time, which is what the headlines tend to make when they catch a famous woman who goes out without fixing at some point in her life.
After all these observations, I did not know very well what objective they wanted to achieve with that publication. They may want to make it clear to us that women are not worth anything without makeup, or perhaps what they want is that we feel so insecure that we run to buy a scandalous amount of paintings so as not to look like the poor famous hunted in those conditions or perhaps they just wanted us to make our day and think that we weren’t too bad either.
From all this I have drawn several conclusions, do women really have to be always perfect? Men do not wear makeup, and if they do not shave, there are even people who see them attractive, if they do not comb their hair, they wear a casual look, and if they wear tracksuits it is because they are born athletes. But women must always be impeccable, although the funny thing is that men are not usually the ones who criticize us, it is women who look you up and down and start to make their film, they develop it in the cafe, and by the time they arrive to beer, you are already broke, on the verge of divorce and one step away from suicide.
Really? Are we being smart and yet destroy ourselves? Bravo, we are the best, if they left us all in one room, we would skin ourselves in a matter of minutes. Then we go on Women’s Day wearing a purple shirt and calling ourselves sisters, well, normally those who don’t know each other are called sisters, because if you know her, you spit on her and drag her by the hair. I myself, if I could, would drag a few, so as you see, I am not exempt from charges for stupidity, thank goodness that I fight for women from my lyrics, of course, only for those that are worth it, because not all the Women deserve to be defended, not all men condemned.
In conclusion, and as advice: put on makeup if you want to do it, don’t put on makeup if you don’t want to, that’s what freedom consists of, that everyone does what they want, but not because the cosmetic companies say so or because the media put the famous in its worst moments, but because we decide to.
