Zorque comments on Why they always do this?

Yes... a personality often built off the unhealthy relationship society has with women's physical appearance. Sure, women can not care, but their lives will often unfortunately be much more difficult for it. Even accounting for the effort put into their appearance. These things are not so easily divorced in reality as they are in online discussions.

I'm not ignoring societal pressures, but at some point you have to take responsibility for your priorities. I assume you wouldn't excuse billionaires as just participating in capitalism and doing what they're "supposed" to do. The harm of invasive medical procedures and medications for aesthetic reasons seems like a good place to draw the line and say "you have a problem"

comparing woman and the societal struggle they are forced through just by existing is not the same as choosing to maintain an evil system of financial oppression on the working class.

this is a poor argument.

This is pretending like it's all women who do this, or even all the ones who care about their appreance. It's usually only the extremely wealthy and/or famous. Most normal women don't see the need for these procedures, but the ones trying to be famous/popular are predisposed to thinking others will look down on them for aging.
