You don’t owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don’t owe it to your mother, you don’t owe it to your children, you don’t owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked “female”.

You Don’t Have to Be Pretty (via wewantrevolutiongirlstylenow)

One of my favourite quotes.

YES, THIS! This is the other shoe I am always wanting to see fall in the “every shape of every body is beautiful” argument - because, yes, all bodies are beautiful, but no, not everyone has to be beautiful. Yes, you are still wonderful if you are ugly. Yes, you can be ugly. Yes, you can be proud of being ugly. You do not need to be beautiful. There is no moral imperative to be beautiful. You do not owe beauty to anyone. You have not failed if you are not beautiful. You are FINE.
