We need to remember that this isn’t the fault of women creating beauty trends. It’s not Boomer models who caused this anti-aging surge. We’ve been doing this kind of thing to women for centuries: body hair removal, corsets, foot binding… These harmful beautiful standards are created by the systems of oppression at work in a society. In our case, the intersection of patriarchy, white supremacy, and capitalism. If you look at the studies, very few Boomer women are getting Botox — the majority of Botox users are young women. Boomers didn’t create this problem.
