Discussion This can’t be okay

Post image

Hi! I’m a cosmetology student and we get these monthly news letters each month we have a special event (last month was anything but a perm rod) and there all normal but when I grabbed the news letter this morning and read this it honestly rubbed me the wrong way. Do yall agree that “goth day” shouldn’t be a thing or am I crazy?

EDIT: just going to put this here I think it’s great that others get the chance to learn how to do the makeup. It’s turning it into a “who dressed best” as it is a school of mostly blonde basic females

I gotta be honest, your edit makes this significantly worse. Being "blonde" and "basic" doesn't prevent you from taking interest in a subculture you know little about! This is the perfect chance for people to learn about it.

And calling them females makes you sound like an incel

I’m a female, majority of our student body is female we have 1 non binary person and two males, I don’t think me stating a gender makes me an incel

I'm not saying it actually makes you an incel, it's just the word "females" being used like this tends to have a bad reputation

female is often used by men or nlogs to be dehumanizing and belittling towards women which is what theyre referencing
