File Neatly Under "Plus Ça Change, Plus C'est La Meme Chose"

I know I say this every time, but this is unbelievable. Let's just reprise that Victorian Cult of True Womanhood bullshit of our foremothers* and go back to poisoning ourselves with arsenic to look like sickly invalids and be done with it. Women who look sick, weak, starved, broken etc. are super sexxeh hawt!!!

Meh. I'm off to make myself a cheese sammich.


*if our foremothers were, of course, upper/middleclass and white, and therefore eligible to be "true" women. Working class and/or WOC were conveniently made of hardier stuff and so could be put upon without a second thought to slave in fields, factories and kitchens everywhere.
