Facial Hair Is Ugly - xxx.com - Don’t look like a man. Remove all facial hair to be beautiful.

The above was on top of my Gmail this morning. An ad supported by Google. An ad that abuses and preys on a commonly known problem for women. An ad that calls women ugly. An ad that sells based on bringing misery. What kind of trash is that for Google to pull? I was surprised they would run an ad like that. I thought Google was progressive and making an effort to have tolerance for race, religion, gender. I guess that only applies in some cases.

It’s so easy for advertisers to target women. We grow up being told how ugly our bodies are. How we need to put so much work into being presentable. Keep yourself pretty from your toes to the top of your head. Heaven forbid she might be human and not smell lovely one day, she might not have white enough teeth, her eyebrows might be a bit bushy, her left nostril might be a millimetre larger than the right nostril. Advertisers have been picking on women as a means of selling for generations. It’s time for it to stop. Google should know better and I really thought they were trying to do better than something backhanded like that.
