The fact that women are told to feel “proud” of their bodies is actually creepy (just like telling them to feel ashamed of their bodies is creepy) because it goes back to that whole “beauty = goodness” thing and like making women morally responsible for their appearances innate or otherwise.
Your looks just sort of are, they’re not something to be ashamed of or proud of, you can like them, you can be pleased with them, but pride implies responsibility and implying women are responsible for how they happen to look is gross.
