Dove is telling you you don’t need to do anything to be beautiful, but it knows full well women must do something to themselves to feel good about themselves, and if they don’t need makeup then at least a moisturizing soap. All Dove needs to solidify this is to be recognized as an authority on beauty– real beauty, not fake, Photoshopped, eyeliner and pushup bras beauty.
“I have a degree.” No one assumes you’re smart because of it, so what was the point? You were tricked, your parents were tricked, your peers were tricked, your employers were not tricked at all. “There’s more to a college education than employability.” No there isn’t.
If there were not guaranteed student loans, up to any amount, available equally across majors and across colleges, independent of skills or promise or societal need, none of this would have happened. Easy money got us into this mess, and easy money will keep us sailing until we go right off the edge of the map.

The unwanted feelings don’t make sense coming from someone like you, so you conclude they must be coming from the other person.
