Slut, prude, damaged, ugly, lazy, dirty, asking for it...
Makeup artist, Jordan Hanz, wants you to please stop applying these bile-laced gender stereotypes to women and girls thank you very much.
In her latest video, the 24-year-old - famed online for her breathtaking beauty transformations - is unapologetic in her message:
How dare you tell me who to be and what is wrong or right. F--k the box we are put in to.
Be who you want to be and be proud of that.
The project, titled Unattainable Women, sees Hanz paint hate-filled words across her skin before wiping them away and declaring herself and all other women "as ladylike as f--k'
We as women must empower each other and build each other up. Love ourselves, love every ounce of you. These ideals are unattainable and impractical.
Hanz, who is a victim of sexual assault, told BuzzFeed News she was made to feel it was her fault.
"Victim-blaming and slut-shaming is something that I want to break down. Writing the words on my body was actually more emotional than I thought it would be."
