Nah this is really bad. Feels like some poor feminist attempt at writing about a strong independent woman. The concept of a strong bodybuilder woman is nice but the execution is poor.

"This makeup is for me alone!"
The "self-confidence" any girl gets from clothes and makeup is from being seen as attractive to the opposite sex and also from being seen as moreso than her peers. I'm down for cute muscle girl maiden but whenever something stupid like this is said it just annoys me.

Strongly disagree. Looking good makes people feel more confident because it feels good to be the "best" version of yourself.

Even without social interaction, people are constantly trying to look better because it makes them FEEL better about themselves. Humans in general like certain aesthetics, regardless of social preference, so adapting those into clothes / makeup / physical appearance can give a lot of personal confidence.

Additionaly, it makes it less likely that other people will judge you. Pretty privilege is a thing beyond just wanting to look "attractive to the opposite sex". You will be treated better by most people (guys and girls) if you look beautiful or at least put-together.

Yeah, to be seen as by others.

Did you even read your original comment?

You said "The "self-confidence" any girl gets from clothes and makeup is from being seen as attractive to the opposite sex and also from being seen as moreso than her peers".

That is demonstrably false, because pretty privilege applies across genders and sexual attractions, and humans like to look good for innate aesthetic reasons. You feel good if you dress good, and there are studies that show this for people without any social interaction.

It's not (just) about being attractive, it's about being more confident that you have value. Kinda fucked that humans innately place value on beauty, but we do.
