Also I don't see how it being a choice matters all that much. I think my hair looks better long than short, and I happen to be good at those things-- these reactions from random people weren't presented to me upon making these choices and didn't weigh into my decisions. Just because I can in theory alter these things doesn't mean it should be considered reasonable for me to be expected to change my profession, skills, or hair style to avoid certain questions. In fact with skin lightening treatments and various forms of plastic surgery becoming more and more advanced, it's possible there actually might be less burden upon you to alter your appearance than to change your entire career path at some point. Depending on the career it might already be the case. That doesn't mean it at any point becomes anything resembling reasonable to expect someone to do that, but I'm just illustrating why "you chose your profession and aptitudes" is a kinda silly counterargument. Whether you choose the reactions is what matters, not whether you choose what's reacted to. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
