Another lovely chat with @GeraetsNell about how men experience body image changes as they age and the power of being a silver fox! 🙌.

The “silver fox” narrative has made greying hair an asset for older men. So is hair dye always a bad idea?

Ilona Maher and other athletes are using their growing platforms to smash stereotypes, proving there’s beauty and femininity in muscles and athleticism.

Stoked to have chatted to @GeraetsNell about cosmetic surgery & motherhood 💉The misogyny and stigma embedded in cosmetic surgery discourse is particularly horrific for mothers, who are told they should "rise above vanity" now that they're mums.
smh.com.au
More mothers are choosing the procedure to mark the end of their breastfeeding years. Some experts warn the trend fuels unrealistic expectations about body image.

We saw a ‘relative attractiveness’ halo effect: Ps stigmatised recipients less when recipients were more attractive than themselves. Pretty privilege extends beyond absolute beauty; if some1 is RELATIVELY closer 2 beauty ideals than their 'assessor', they too benefit from PP (2).
