All humans are tribal so of course, they try to achieve this by matching the expectations of their peers, whether that's beardy middle-class blokes in chinos, tattooed hipsters in their rollups, or dungareed lesbians with stern fringes. The uncanny valley doll-look might be an extreme, but isn't there a bit of an assumption that we aren't capable of making our own choices. How we appear is a key part of our identity and we all put effort into it, conscious or unconscious. Not wearing make-up, choosing to shave or not – and further into how we present ourselves, how we communicate, who we choose to socialize with and how we socialize – are still choices we're making and we continue to make those choices throughout our lives, though school is obviously where we first face them, and where they are most pernicious. But if a grown woman chooses how she wants to look, I'm a bit discomfited to criticise because she doesn't meet with my expectations of her appearance.
That said, anyone who doesn't like freckles can go throw themselves at a tiger right now.
