Nothing sends me running to click that little “x” in the top corner of my screen faster than a “scientific” study about natural aesthetic beauty. For women of color, as well for many “ethnic” (for lack of a better term) women, noses are often a hot topic. It seems that every culture has it’s own “nose” narrative, an idea of a perfect nose that exemplifies racial/ethnic identity but isn’t too prominent.
According to a recently released “study”, the perfect female nose is upturned 106 degrees. And let’s just say that most of the images used as a examples of a “perfect” nose weren’t particularly diverse. This amazing comic from Tall N’ Curly totally blows holes in studies that don’t apply to the majority of women in the world.
This comic was originally published at TallNCurly.
I couldn’t agree more! I think scientists are just getting bored now and instead of producing facts, using their job to tell their stupid stereotypical opinions. Where does this crap come from? God made EVERYONE beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes!I totaly agree!Personally having a “perfect” in my own life is not necessary and It’s just like that for a lot of women in the World.I’ts such a shame for that kind of women who don’t believe in themselve and do some surgery on their nose.I think too that is not fair for us, women because we always have to look “good” or “beautiful” for being attractive.Why not just accept us naturaly, truly as we are and being confident about ourselve.:)
Well after, I don’t talk about bully for our apparence but I think we have to fight against that because this is not normal to tease or bully a person just because he or she has a big nose.:,(
