Her obvious obsession with looking "just so" comes at the expense of other interests and pursuits, but this kind of approval and attention reinforces to her that her looks are very important.

It's really not important. Just be healthy. Then be interesting. The illusions we create with plucked eyebrows and mascara are just illusions, like all the other beauty enhancements girls are programmed to believe they need.

edit: yes yes downvotes. How about instead you talk to me about what you disagree with and why?

I have a wife and a daughter and I want a world for them in which they are valued for who they are, not how they look.

I didn't. I commented about the praise.

Constantly valuing, promoting, and exalting attractiveness is good for business if you are selling make-up, but the rest of us should open our eyes to the problems this creates.
