Scrutiny

So as a female in the Western World, I've pretty much evaluated every part of my body, real or imaginary.

But never, ever, have I considered face size.

Now, we're not talking about face shape...like for sunglasses or hats (which, by the way, I have the ideal one--thanks mom and dad for the good genes)

I'm talking actual face size. For full face respirators, used when mucking (cleaning out a house completely, ripping down drywall and mold etc).

My entire team stared at each other's faces for a good 15 minutes.

Large? Medium.

Society's evil pressures silently willed my teammates to diagnose my head size as small.

SUCCESS!

(Whether it fits, however, is another story.)
