Girls and women are punished no matter their choice. Frumpy or slutty. Boring or show-off-y. In or out of style. Make-up or none. Shave, pluck, or don't. You can't win. Some, through grace and determination, find the confidence to not care and simply feel good in their skin. Many don't.

The socialization through advertising and peer pressure is very, very strong!

Of course, other genders may feel this, too.

Anyway, I appreciate your reply.
