It's pretty clear that when it comes to aging and beauty, there's a big double standard between men and women. Women, especially those in the spotlight, often face harsh criticism if they show any signs of aging, while men generally don't get the same scrutiny.
It's like society expects women to stay forever young, but it's totally fine for men to show their years and be called 'distinguished'.
It's unfair and really frustrating to see this kind of double standard still so prevalent.
Kylie Jenner made an appearance at Paris Fashion Week this week, but her look didn't sit well with some online critics.
For the event, Jenner chose a sheer white dress, styled her hair in curls, and opted for a natural makeup look as she attended the Simone Rocha and Jean Paul Gautier show on Wednesday (January 24).
The beauty mogul, rumored to be dating "Call Me By Your Name" star Timothée Chalamet, dazzled on the red carpet.
However, as is often the case on the internet, there were those who viewed her appearance differently.
Some people seem to find it important to comment on the makeup choices of public figures, and Jenner was no exception.
The internet tends to scrutinize women in the public eye with excessive detail.
A video of the Kardashian star at the event circulated on social media, inviting a barrage of opinions.
And, as expected, not all of them were positive.
One user commented harshly: "Looks like her face is falling apart."
Another added: "We’re seeing in real time what long term filler usage does as you age."
And another person chimed in with: "Filler migrates. In other words it MOVES."
"So where it was one placed, it will eventually end up somewhere else and this makes you look disfigured, older or different."
Despite these unkind remarks, Jenner's fans were quick to come to her defense, criticizing the trolls for their cruel comments.
One supporter questioned: "Her face looks normal to me. Is there something specific we should be looking at?"
Another defended her by saying: "No. She just got older. As people usually do."
A third pointed out the unrealistic expectations set by photo editing: "What’s wild is she looks normal but y’all are so used to Facetune that you forget it's perfectly normal to have shadows on your face when 100 different cameras and 100 different flashes are on your face."
Another fan expressed their admiration for Jenner, stating: "I don't see any problems here," and complimented her by saying she's 'ageing like a fine wine'.
Another fan highlighted the gender double standards, writing: "Everyone that is calling Kylie Jenner out for having skin that they deem as 'old for her age' is proof that women cannot age without being discarded and labeled as expired."
"We do not hold these same beliefs to men and it is incredibly frustrating to see."
The situation underscores the often harsh and unfair scrutiny that women, especially those in the public eye, face regarding their appearance, a stark reminder of the unrealistic standards and double standards prevalent in today's society.
