Okay so the movement for body acceptance is quite substantial but what I’d really like to see is face acceptance.  I feel like the only good faces are symmetrical, clear-skinned, big-eyed, button-nosed, high-cheekboned white faces and that even though I like my face no one else ever will.  Even body acceptance posts show pictures of people with really conventional faces.  Can we just promote that attractiveness is really subjective; there’s not one type of face that is universally appealing (no matter what ‘scientific’ studies say, there’s really not, okay?), and that the lack of facial variety in the media is bland and damaging?
