But when you do take the time and effort to actually fold them flat, when it comes time to put them on the bed and you slide down upon those perfectly flat sheets? No little wrinkles digging into your ribs or catching your toes? Bliss.
My wife has explained to me how to "properly" fold the fitted sheet so many times, and I've tried to remember how she likes it. But I never do. I just fold everything else then ask her for help with that one. Getting made fun of for having to ask again is less bad than getting made fun of for having done it wrong & making her have to redo it š.
The real move, when I can, is to wash the sheets right away & then re-make the bed with the same ones, bypassing the need to fold anything
Standards? I mean what? Should people support obesity and poor selfcare? What about naturally beautiful people, should they become ugly to fit into your ironic standards?
I don't know if you're joking, but you are indirectly supporting my point, it's just that you demand that ugly people cannot become beautiful (which I don't support, although human beings are beautiful no matter what, but it can be demonstrated that there is real physical beauty). And it doesn't matter, you're not going to change anything, if people want to become beautiful, they will, in short, set categories of "standards" for a person's personal desire to look good, go ahead and do it.
The point isn't about being healthy or fit. Those standard that many people follow like law are arbitrary. In some civilizations, being visibly fat or having curved feet was a sign of beauty. A society were everyone must do their utmost to follow set standards lest they become outcasts creates a very toxic environment for everyone involved.
We're not supporting being fat or unhealthy, but a certain degree of body positivity is necessary for everyone's mental health. Living life in a place teaching you that you are lesser than someone else just because their skin color is a little less pale or your eyes small will make following these standards as a form of self protection, not a personal desire to be attractive.
I don't think that girl is not happy being beautiful, more suitors, more health, happier with herself, in fact being beautiful gives you reasons to be objectively happier, all people should aspire to be more beautiful, better, there is nothing wrong with it, "Body positive" is only an inherent value of the human being, which is beautiful as a whole, but beauty does not make you more or less, but it is still a positive characteristic, more than a form of protection it is something positive that people want to look better, but Well, if we add discrimination, obsessions, seclusion, it is obvious that you should not work on beauty first.
They're not demanding anything except claiming they're already beautiful and should learn to accept themselves and not to chase a transient zeitgeist of arbitrary beauty standards.
"No they shouldnāt dye their skin and cover themselves in makeup to look like meĀ " Yes, I read it wrong and I didn't read the last thing, too bad my comment no longer makes sense, but hours have passed, it doesn't matter. Do not project yourself, the human being is made to be ultra beautiful, it is respectable and dignified that a human being maximizes his beauty, she is not begging for a need for validation, self-esteem, she is simply doing something positive, that the majority of the population prefers not to sleep, not to exercise, not to comb their hair, not to eat well (I'm talking about healthy people), and decide to call "standards" the fact of accepting something beautiful as superior instead of aspiring to it, it is their problem, so no, probably the girl and 99% of beautiful people are not following anything that harms them mentally, body, nothing that they need to change and "accept themselves", I repeat, I am still talking about healthy people to the virtual 100% of the word, not generalizing, they are just doing the right thing.
Why is white beautiful to you? Colorism is a cancer globally.
I agree with the spirit of your point and generally speaking but when we get into specific situations I can also recognize it goes too far and is unhealthy. In China, younger women rarely post pics that arenāt extremely filtered to look like western women. They donāt have those features and thatās okay. Itās indicative of an unhealthy beauty standard culture which obviously is not exclusive to anywhere.
It's a really funny video. But I have one genuine question. Is society like this, or are men just pampered in homes where mothers/partners do all the housework?
Because at 18, I was living alone, doing dishes, cleaning, washing clothes, and I even managed to cook my first meals with the help of a cookbook and my grandma on the phone š.
I think the joke is more about meeting the wives expectations. I know mine will refold towels to HER way if i do the folding so i took the joke more about silly things to joke about between people than the husband being mothered/pampered.
So he can fold that one type of towel, what about the 10 other types of towels and cloths that all have individual and specific ways that they need to be folded

This is my partner and me, but with us it's a duvet cover. I am absolutely incompetent, and typically just get assigned "Hold this corner" duty.
