Hello and happy International Women's Day to all who observe it. Which I suppose should be everyone, really, and yes, Gordon, there is an International Men's Day, it's on November 19th.Covering IWD in my job feels like a hot potato. Despite my bones-deep belief that not all beauty discourse is inherently patriarchal, I'm also not blind to the underlying reasons we're all questing for smooth skin, thick hair, and long lashes in the name of 'inner' confidence. So what's a moderate fourth (or fifth?) wave feminist who also enjoys beauty products to do? Feel a bit conflicted as ever, and try to serve you something woman-founded and unsuperficial.
