Not a woman, so I could be full of shit. It does seem to me that women face much more pressure to be conventionally attractive, especially in image-intensive jobs like acting.
Very true, and already-attractive women started being told how pretty they were while they were younger so it became part of their identity and sense of self-worth. So they’re vulnerable to the fear of “losing their looks.”
Maybe a bit like kids being told they are “smart” and “gifted” turns a lot of them into workaholics with a fear of skill-based failure.and coping mechanisms around that.
If you must use Instagram, do it from a browser with uBlock origin or other adblocking. Those ads are harmful for your health. If that’s not possible and you really want a change, quit using it. The platform’s sole purpose is to make you feel like shit by comparing you to “others” so they can sell you useless crap.

A lot is advertising. Dude im 40F. It’s nonstop advertising to get fillers. Botox. Implants. Ozempic.
Constantly bombarded with it.
Firefox + uBlock origin. No more targeted ads.
I get them on Instagram a lot. I already use Firefox and ublock. And have targeted advertising turned off.
Doesn’t seem to matter.
Stop using Instagram.
