A lot of these women wouldn't be considered "attractive" by modern standards and as someone who shares a lot of similar facial features of the women in this poll its really really nice seeing so many people give love to these people. I don't know, I see a lot of myself in these women and seeing all the propaganda flattering them makes me feel better about myself too. It's really nice 💙

That's one of the reasons I love old movies! Watching old movies shows us that beauty standards aren't the solid, immovable things we think they are when we're growing up in them. I feel like the past is a different country, and traveling there can have the same joys as traveling anywhere: you see thing you don't care for and won't bring home, but you can also pick up new ideas and perspectives that change your life for the better.

#in high school i saw one of these hot women on screen and noticed with my jaw on the floor that she had underarm fat #blew my mind and also cheered skinny little me who was terrified of any kind of normal body weight #these women aren't the pinnacle of body diversity but there are some things here we don't see today that are just a little joyous #asks
