Well, in her defense, it would be annoying to hear that, especially since it implies that a woman's life is better lived if her beauty is celebrated rather than her accomplishments. Such notions are rooted in the culture we have where men are valued by their skills and women by their attractiveness. (And that's very, very deeply ingrained — see "Beautiful people have more daughters," here.) Of course, by that same injustice, attractive men can complain about how their attractiveness is not enough to ensure financial security, whereas attractive women can land a modeling career... or a wealthy husband.

Just because people are tortured and murdered doesn't mean I'm not allowed to say "ow!" when I stub my toe.

This has nothing to do with Men's Rights.

I doubt any male would ever say that to her. I could certainly see other less ambitious females saying it though.

Earrings, makeup, mascara, tweezed eyebrows, long, flowing hair. I'm going to step out on to a limb and assume she shaves her underarms and her legs.

Don't you dare say she's pretty.

You know I was interested in this SR because of a thoughtful commitment to men who are often forgotten, but that does not mean a need for feminism is not there, that women aren't objectified and degraded.

This is just ridiculous, her point is valid and to say otherwise or to act so childish as to say "she shouldn't be saying that because she isn't even pretty"....just re-affirms her point.

this has nothing to do with men's rights. i'm unsubscribing.

Was wondering when I'd see this on here

I agree she has a valid complaint here but it isn't just her it happens to. If a guy was really strong and instead chose to pursue academics it would feel like a waste in other peoples eyes. It comes down to natural talent versus what makes you happy.

So brave.

There, crossed out the redundant part.

"I need feminism because I get reminded that I live in a world where I can take an easy route to a cushy life on the basis of physical attractiveness"

Yeah I'd need feminism too to help quell the cognitive dissonance.

theskepticalidealist · 2013-01-13T05:04:58+00:00

I highly doubt any man or woman would say that. What she means is she doesnt like to be called pretty. Pretty girls especially hate it when people keep saying things like that, hell Ive known lots of women who are below average looks complain about mens attention.

SuperUppercut · 2013-01-13T09:31:07+00:00

Yo that chick looks like a squirrel. Who the fuck you tryna kid?

Ma99ie · 2013-01-13T06:04:43+00:00

That's awesome.

logrusmage · 2013-01-13T08:40:15+00:00

And by people, she means female friends who are jealous of her, correct?

2013-01-13T11:35:17+00:00

Sexual objectification is feminist sin.

Feminism has a tendency to leave women old, single, childless, with a plethora of abortions under their belt.

This picture may reflect the traditional belief that beautiful women do not need to work hard, that they can attract a wealthy husband and use his wealth to live life, of course after the sweet divorce deal.

Plus no body said that to her.
