    Oh, I follow most of those beauty routines that are supposedly forced upon us, the weaker sex, by our misogynistic society.  I shower, fix my hair, and put on make-up daily.  I get the occasional manicure, own over 30 pairs of shoes, and consistently spend more than ten minutes each day making sure that my purse, heels, and shirt are complementary to each other.  To tell the truth, though I do occasionally tire of the constant drain on my time, I actually enjoy this routine.  Or at least I enjoy the outcome.  It makes me feel presentable.

     

    And that “presentability” is the root of the problem.
