[quote=Blogstar]Not good to criticize women for overplaying the beauty object thing and criticize the ones that you perceive as failing at it at the same time. I have always kind of had sympathy for women who tried to play the beauty is power trip around me. They kind of reminded me of fish on land gasping at the air who really needed to be thrown back in the water.[/quote]
The original post had to do with indiscriminate praise regarding beauty – and where was it coming from. I notice it too, and can’t figure it out. People aren’t bad because they are/aren’t good looking, but that doesn’t make them good either. Same with race, sexual orientation, political party, etc. etc. I always think it’s strange when people profess to be proud to be something – gay, Finnish, whatever. It’s not as though any of us had a choice in the matter (in my opinion). It would be equally logical to be proud of having two nostrils.
