Standar Kecantikan yang Tak Ramah Perempuan

Kita perlu merangkul ketidaksempurnaan karena bagaimanapun tidak ada manusia yang sempurna. There is beauty in imperfection. Kita semua cantik dengan caranya sendiri.

Saya akan akhiri artikel ini dengan menuliskan kutipan berikut:

              It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness. -Leo Tolstoy.

The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart. – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
