People are posting #SideProfileSelfies in an effort to reclaim the feature they've grown to hate

How many times have you made friends delete photos of you because you didn’t like how your features looked?

Maybe it was just a case of too many hairs out of place, or something that bothers you all the time, like a supposedly crooked nose or ‘wonky’ eyes.

Chances are you’ve had these thoughts, and you’re not alone. Research conducted by Glamour found that, on average, women have 13 negative body thoughts daily—around one for every hour we’re awake.

Out of the more than 300 women surveyed, a ‘disturbing’ amount of them confess to having 35, 50 or even 100 hateful thoughts about their body features each day.

But one woman is determined to reclaim the feature she hates most about her body – her nose.

Radhika Sanghani is calling on women to stop hiding away from side-profile photos by doing the exact opposite and encouraging them instead.

Writing for Grazia, Sanghani said: “I grew up thinking that you can’t be beautiful unless you have a snub little ski-slope of a nose, like Kate Middleton or Mila Kunis – and I know other women have too.

“There just aren’t enough larger-nosed ladies with stereotypically ‘hot’ roles in movies or ad campaigns to make us think an aquiline profile can be pretty.”

She posted a #SideProfileSelfie on Twitter and other women quickly followed suit.

Sanghani pointed out that back in the day, strong, Roman noses, were considered powerful. And that if they were enviable then, why can’t they be now?

“My theory is beauty standards have lauded small noses over big ones because they fit in with the idea of women being delicate, dainty and not taking up space. But we’re not. We’re bold, strong, and we can take up as much space as we want, even with our bodies,” she continued.

Already the movement has caught traction, with many women uploading their pictures in support.

Hopefully soon enough we’ll all be able to take selfies without worrying about being caught at the ‘wrong’ angle ever again.
