Not many people admit to being offended by something that someone said. When was a time you actually felt hurt and/or insulted by someone? - eviltoast

    It’s, as you have already said, most likely an emotional issue on his side.

    There is no such thing as “the beauty standard”.

      Well, yeah. I agree beauty is a flawed, racist, social construct that is just societal opinions in bulk. But money is also a fake social construct that has very real affects on everyday life. We can deconstruct the term “beauty” all night, but that doesn’t change the lived reality of being called ugly having a real, genuine, hurtful effect on my self esteem.
