The prime minister shared a screenshot of the exchange and her response: “Oh no. I’m happy with my body — I really don’t need a male plastic surgeon to have an opinion about it!” Frederiksen, Denmark’s second female prime minister and one of Europe’s longest-serving leaders, has been subjected to regular unwanted scrutiny about her appearance over the years.
In her post, Frederiksen mentioned receiving numerous messages criticizing her teeth, hair, and a 'wart' on her nose, along with advice to get Botox. She encouraged women to embrace self-acceptance and set higher standards for meaningful conversations. According to The Guardian, Frederiksen expressed annoyance at the pushy beauty advice while offering guidance on dealing with such situations.
Frederiksen’s global profile has grown this year as she stood up to US President Donald Trump’s repeated claims on Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish territory. She is also a staunch supporter of Ukraine against the Russian onslaught. The prime minister stressed that she does not interfere with other people’s looks and is perfectly fine with her body as she approaches 50.
