Dworkin Is Factually Wrong AGAIN

Claiming that a standard of feminine beauty based upon a body where very little is left unaltered is the beauty standard resulting from a bourgeois democracy (because beauty is ‘democratized’ so anyone can sort of kind of maybe attain it with enough work) is SO AHISTORICAL, like ancient Egypt?  Plastic surgery, fuck ton of makeup, shaving everything, perfumed cones on your wig monarchy/theocracy.  France pre-revolution, a monarchy, fuck ton of makeup, giant fake hair, corsetry, after the revolution?  Much less fake hair and makeup.  I can cite SO many examples of body modification in precapitalist/monarchical societies it’d make your damned head spin.  Victorian era, very much a bourgeois democracy, yes corsetry and fake hair (though that was disapproved of) but no makeup allowed for respectable ladies, no body shaving, and it was considered a sign of being bad and sinful if you were an ugly woman because “goodness makes women beautiful” *cue me punching something*.
