Recently, a friend of mine had an argument with an elderly relative. The reason for the dispute was heels. The older generation insisted that a real woman should always wear elegant shoes with high heels. The acquaintance just shrugged her shoulders. High-heeled winter boots? Shoes that are supposed to run on our broken roads? Why is this necessary, and what is the name of this perversion?- In our time, we went to the ice! I personally ran so on dates! - the elderly lady confidently retorted, and switched to the cake, deciding that modern youth is incorrigible. And I was left, as they say, in deep thought. Since then, as if by the law of meanness, articles on the current topic have begun to come across everywhere. They say that women have stopped caring for themselves.

"Why doesn't a woman take care of herself?" the author of some regular online gloss asked sternly. And she answered herself: either they didn't teach her as a child; or she doesn't go to work and sits at home all day in a bathrobe; or she doesn't have time because she goes to work and works there… Or maybe she even thinks that she is married, and her husband is not going anywhere now? Disorder!

Another author, a man, complained about the modern inhabitants of Germany. True, he hasn't been to Germany, but he watches TV shows regularly. And he noted that most of the roles of mature women are performed by actresses dressed, very simply, and it seems that they do not use makeup at all (nude-nude). And where are the ruffles, lace, curls, beautiful bright makeup and stockings? No, something definitely needs to be done with the Germans. At least to report that Peter from Taganrog does not like them in this form at all.

And one well-known Russian portal even conducted a survey: why did women take less care of themselves? And I received some strange answers, which if combined in one phrase, it would be the phrase "women are tired."

Some are tired of everyday life, and "turn into aunts" from the fact that they do not have enough strength to go for a manicure, having redone all the chores around the house. And at some point, a woman suddenly decides that she can do without long red nails, and allow herself to rest. Others get tired of waiting for the prince in combat readiness, and eventually reject the most valuable thing: mom's advice to always leave the house in full war paint, with styling and in the best underwear, even if you go to take out the trash. What if a man happens? Some women, you can imagine, are more focused on their achievements that are not related to appearance. And they are proud of something else. And there are also those who are disappointed in trying to become perfect and compare with insta-divas, and decided to just be themselves. Outrageous, in a word!
