One thing stands out, and it’s so very obvious perhaps I shouldn’t mention it: women are constantly told they’re fat and ugly, and that they should pay someone to be thinner and more beautiful. If they’re not marked as dating anyone, they’re also told they should be and that they should pay people to help with this, but this does also happen to males, as well. I haven’t yet noticed any obvious ads which seem male-specific, which seems odd to me.
It might seem a small thing, just like any one thing a person says to their daughter might seem a small thing. But there’s a cumulative, wearing effect of thousands of pictures of tummies with tape measures around them saying “You’re fat” in the corner of the screen. Got to keep them in their place somehow, you know.
None of this is a surprise. I think I’ll be staying neutral. Besides, it’s none of Facebook’s business what I keep between my thighs.

Well all those stupid ads drive me crazy. They’re so patronizing.
